Sharing his thoughts on his passion, the 28-year-old Ali said: “I have been a keen photographer since childhood and have always wanted to take photographs of my village, Al Ashqar, known for its cool atmosphere throughout the year.”
“The temperature here near the beaches ranges between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius during the day and goes lower at night,” Ali added.
The photos and videos that Ali captures also reflect the various activities performed by the people living in this area, and include camping, and meetings with the elderly who gather to enjoy the game, Al Hawalees. Apart from that, Ali also loves capturing action shots of fishermen and children.

“I have done extensive photography of Al Ashkharah, Al Heda, Al Bandar, Al Ruwais, Al Daffah and Al Khabah,” he said, adding that he does not follow any fixed time for photography.
“Any time I feel it is suitable to take a picture, I take one. Sometimes it takes lot of time in preparing ideas, choosing the right angle and in editing the pictures, but I thoroughly enjoy my work,” he added.
