Saudi Arabia: Winners of CaptureAlUla photo competition announced

CaptureAlUla was developed to support and uncover five local photographers.

Aisha Alhjairi, who loves cinematography and photography and listening to classical music, commented on her winning image in the Design category: “By using pottery and dry branches, using earthy colours, and through the harmony between the elements of this artwork and the harmony of lighting in it, I wanted to show and prove that from the drought we can create an artistic picture, as beauty is created from severity, and luxury is created from simplicity. I made this idea specifically to show the sensual heritage (the pottery) in a different way from what is customary to touch the feelings of the recipient and bring them back to the memory."

Fawaz Alsharif, the winner in the Monumental category, commented: “The story I wanted to show through the image is the beauty of the place and the magnificent architecture of the castle, the beauty of the sky and the earth that unites them. AlUla is so full of amazing monuments and rich history. .”
