DUBAI: “Photography, for me, is a feeling,” Abdulmajeed Albalawi tells Arab News. “It was a feeling before it was a hobby and before it was work. The feeling of the picture, the feeling of the memory, the details of the place you are shooting in.” The Saudi photographer was born in AlUla — a place that he says “inspires the lenses of photographers.” He continues: “Nature at every hour, night or day; the antiquities; Hegra; the heritage; the Old Town; and the oasis.
