As an introverted person, I sometimes find being a street photographer difficult, especially when getting close to people.
This photo series began unexpectedly when I found that photographing people behind windows and maintaining a distance made me, and the people I photographed, feel more comfortable. I purposefully frame myself in the reflection of the window to see into the space I’m photographing. I feel every window tells a different story.
This image was taken when a couple of other photographers and myself attended the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival in 2018 in al-Rumahiyah, Saudi Arabia. We stopped in the middle of the desert to get some gas when I noticed this car of young Bedouin men. They looked like they were enjoying their journey, so I couldn’t resist. I walked up to them while taking photos until the teenager in the front felt a little embarrassed and started to laugh. I like this moment because it was real. They said they were on their way to the camel festival as well.
I just love taking genuine moments. It makes me fall in love with that memory, and it’s forever captured in a photo.

After the war in 1991, Kuwait faced a demand for consumer goods. In response, a popular market sprang up, selling merchandise transported by traditional wooden ships. Eager to replace household items that had been looted, people flocked to the new market and found everything from flowerpots, kitchen items and electronics to furniture, dry goods and fresh produce.
