With a post graduate degree in Marketing that enriched his understanding of the rapidly evolving consumer behaviour in Saudi Arabia, Awadh Al Hamzani initially started developing his photography skills as an art and not as a business.However by 2006 he came onboard as a freelancer in order to project an accurate imagery of Saudi Arabia in its diverse facets…Since then he has never looked back.
Photography in Saudi Arabia is now capturing centre stage. Propelled by the growth of technology, young generations are joining in the blossoming of the visual arts. Both the internet and supportive parents are encouraging youngsters to hone their skills. The government launched the Saudi photography society in 2009 and I am one of the founders of this society.
Online photo library or others…I started my website in 2005 and it’s a great tool to promote my work and reach a new spectrum of customers. The hits have already surpassed one million and today I have contract business in places as diverse as Canada, China, UK and the UAE.
