Overview

An in-depth analysis of the photography of the acclaimed Saudi artist and an glimpse into her innermost feelings Born in Jeddah in 1968, Reem Al Faisal is a documentary photographer who lives in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the entire world is her workspace, capturing the moments to be reflected in her artwork. Her distinctive style is reflected in her photos expressing the spirituality and divine presence in nature and people’s life. Reem has a very strong visual culture that she developed with the bravery of a woman living in a conservative, closed, male-dominant society, one that she has penetrated with her educational intellect and her sense of community. She succeeds by using her lens as a means to express and record her memories of day-to-day life, previously only residing in her imagination. She documents them in the form of photographs stemming from the heart of people’s lives, and presents them to local, Arab and Western societies as a record full of life’s struggles on a global scale. Featuring a wide selection of Reem Al-Faisal’s b/w photographs, the book highlights the diversity in the subjects of her photographs as she attempts to highlight human feelings in most of her images, along with the historical, artistic architecture of Arab and Islamic culture.
