Khalid Bin Hamad Al Thani, born in 1980 in Doha, describes photography as a language without subtitles – and his project is to establish a unique and authentic Qatari photographic language. Between 2008 and 2010, Al Thani focused his attention and Leica lens on the Qatari desert, aiming to reveal its beauty to an international audience. Eschewing the changes humans are impacting on the landscape, Al Thani focuses on the humble, poetic details of nature such as a lone tree, a herd of gazelles and a resting falcon to present a breathtaking vision of the landscape.
