There is a difference between a beautiful place and a beautiful photo. - Ammar Alqamash
Sharing tips on composition and spotting photogenic moments, Ammar highlights the patterns through light and shadow to be found in Doha’s urban cityscape, discovering new corners and perspectives through the art of photography.
He explained “Sometimes we encounter a beautiful subject on the street and we, as photographers, have to capture it from different angles to choose the best one later.”
“Places change with time. The photo is captured as the lighting and the shapes of the shadows change and this can help me take a beautiful picture.”
