Zuhair Ahmad AlTraifi 3 Comments

Hello all, so about 2 years ago I traveled with my family to Mashhad city in Iran for a week, it wasn’t a photography trip but I did spent a lot of times photographing the streets & I was really impressed with the results I got from there.

I did a lot of street photography but rarely I did people’s life because a lot & I mean a lot don’t understand English or Arabic. So here are some of the results & more photos will come in other posts!

Muharraq Central 2 – street photography

Zuhair Ahmad AlTraifi Leave a comment

Yet another street walk in Bahrain and again in Muharraq ( You can visit the first one here ) it was really quick because of the short time we had before sunset and I’ve used my canon with a 50mm lens instead of my fujifilm this time, The photos are less but I hope you enjoy it!

مرة اخرى جولة في البحرين وأيضاً في شوارع المحرق ( تستطيع زيارة التدوينة الأولى من المحرق هنا ) كانت زيارة سريعة جداً بسبب ضيق الوقت قبل غروب الشمس وقمت باستخدام كاميرا الكانون مع عدسة ٥٠مم بدلاً من كاميرا الفوجي، الصور قليلة ولكن أتمنى أن تروق لكم!

Street walk in my hometown village

Zuhair Ahmad AlTraifi 1 Comment

Hello all, because my father had to leave AlHasa, AlQarah about 40 years ago for work we live in Dammam ever since but we always kept visiting our hometown village because of our relatives and in different occasions. So it’s natural for me to photograph the village as I admit didn’t do it earlier but happy that I’ve done more then once since 2015. The important of document the lives and the streets of an area lies after a few years ahead, thats why only a few photographers form the region value that and thats what I see in my street photos. Here are a few photos taken in May 2015 as first walk in this village. I already posted a photo from this walk 2 years ago

مرحبا بالجميع، بسبب أن والدي غادر قرية القارة بالأحساء قبل قرابة 40 عاماً بسبب العمل نحن نعيش بالدمام منذ ذلك الوقت ولكننا كنا نداوم على زيارة القرية بسبب وجود أقاربنا ولمختلف المناسبات. لذلك من الطبيعي أن اقوم بتصوير القرية وأعترف أنني لم أفعل ذلك مبكراً ولكن سعيد بأنني قمت بتصويرها أكثر من مرة من 2015. أهمية توثيق الحياة والشارع لمنطقة ما تكمن بعد عدة سنين، لذلك هناك قليل من المصورين من المنطقة الذين يرون هذه القيمة وهذا ما أراه عادة في صور حياة الشارع. هذه بعض الصور التي قمت بتصويرها في مايو 2015 في جولتي الأولى. قمت سابقاً بعرض أحد الصور قبل سنتين

AlTahlia St. in Riyadh – Street photography

Zuhair Ahmad AlTraifi Leave a comment

AlTahlia St. in Riyadh is one of the famous streets to hang out for both men & woman from the middle class or higher because it has lots of cafes & restaurants plus a big sidewalk in both sides perfect for walking, I tried to capture some of the usual scenes in there and here are some of the photos.

شارع التحلية في الرياض هو واحد من أشهر الشوارع التي يمضي بها الشباب والبنات من الطبقة المتوسطة فأعلى وقتهم بسبب وجود عدد من الكافيهات والمطاعم بالإضافة إلى الرصيف الكبير على جانبي الشارع وهو مناسب لمن يحب أن يمارس المشي هناك لقضاء بعض الوقت، حاولت أن ألتقط بعض اللحظات المعتادة هناك وهذه هي بعض الصور.

A walk in Dammam Central Market which a place I always go to photograph, it a was after a rainy day which I captured lots of reflections I posted earlier ( click here to view it ). This market always prove to me that street photography always give you moments even in the same place over & over, enjoy the photos

جولة كانت في سوق وسط الدمام وهو من الأماكن التي اعتدت التصوير بها، كان هذا اليوم بعد يوم ممطر والذي قمت بإلتقاط العديد من الانعكاسات والتي قمت بنشرها مسبقاً ( اضغط هنا لرؤيتها ). هذا السوق دوماً يؤكد لي بأن تصوير حياة الشارع يعطيك لحظات مختلفة لنفس المكان دائماً، استمتعوا بالصور

Muharraq Central 1 – street photography

I’ve went to Bahrain several times for street photography, and this is one of the first visits which was in Muharraq, Bahrain. I explored some of the old areas there near the market which was inhabited mostly by foreign families

ذهبت إلى البحرين عدة مرات لتصوير حياة الشارع وهذه احدى الزيارات الاولى والتي كانت في المحرق. تجولت في الاحياء القديمة بالقرب من السوق وهناك العوائل الأجنبية هم معظم سكانها
