and here is a nice article at emirates business newspaper about my upcoming book just few things i will currect, i have High Diploma in communication art not diploma. I'm getting my master soon and my ladydesign established in 2005 ^^
I know i don't blog like i used to, I'm sorry i keep telling myself i will post something and then i get busy, I was really happy to hear good feedback about my latest work from fans who send me emails or msgs. It means a lot to me that you are following my updates. It's very cute when i hear some girls saying we stalking you and check your work, it's not stalking it's what fans like to do, stalking is something bad and dangerous, it's when someone checking on you and they hate you and never give a good comment when they like something but bad comment when they notice or dislike something, these i call them stalkers & i ignore them but when it comes to interfere my private life i get really angry.
I know you will tell me it's a price of being in public and fame, but it doesn't have to be this way, as long as they stay where they are, i don't mind.
I'm having special preparations if I will make a signing book day, I'm still not sure if i will make this step, it's a nice thing to meet the fans but not stalkers. so I'm arranging something for my stalkers otherwise there will not be a signing book day
what makes me really sad that my fans are becoming victims because of what stalkers do. so i am trying my best to think of good ideas.

hello, Long time, been busy shooting for the book, yes still working on it, I wanted to share with you today an article about the book I'm working on, Had this interview a month ago and my fans "you" got mentioned in it which make me smile.
I re-post the article in here because i like it but the photos were weak in the news and all my fans and friends were telling me why there is only one photo of your work in there, i gave them many photos but i don't know what happened.
so i am posting the photo they had it and one new exclusive for your eyes only :)

The story of a girl exploring the seven emirates and the profound changes they are going through is captured by Emirati photographer Fatma Abdullah.
She has been busy lately, adding the finishing touches to her first coffee table book that aims to portray the beauty of unseen locations in the Emirates through her lens. She has chosen locations that few tourists have discovered and successfully merged the creativity of her fashion experience with her signature style.
Fatma spoke to Gulf News about the experience and knowledge she acquired while working on her first book of photographs.
Interviewer What made you think of producing a book of photographs?
ME: The idea of publishing a photo book was tickling my mind for a long time. Last year I decided to translate my dream into reality.
Where did you get the inspiration for the book?
Frankly, I got it from my fans. They were always asking me to create some artistic photo shots and they wanted to see some traditional touches that combine a fashion photographer's view and they always wondered what the results would be.
How long did it take you to develop it?
It actually took me three years to develop this book. A lot of time went into the planning phase. The photo shoot for the book started this year because I was very busy last year with my series of exhibitions and work. I also spent a considerable amount of time choosing the models for my book's characters and the search for their dresses and the study of the makeup. You know, all the details must be taken care of carefully.
When are you launching it and where?
I'm hoping to launch it by the end of April. At times I need to wait quite a bit to obtain permission for a photo shoot at a particular location. Thus the delay. So I'm trying my best to finish it and launch it by the end of April."
How many pages does it contain?
The book will contain more than 100 photos."
To whom do you dedicate the book?
To my country, my fans, my family and my parents and everyone who has been helpful and supportive of my photo shooting journey for this book.
Where it will be available, any particular bookstore or everywhere?
I'm doing the best I could to make it available everywhere.
Will it be available outside UAE?
I'm planning to make it available across the world.
What's the title of the book?
Not finalised yet, since I have made slight changes in the plot of the story.
Are there any authors of photo books you admire?
I like children's story books and novels but no photo books in my mind right now.
What do you think this experience has added to your photography skills?
My photography experience helped me a lot to add a special atmosphere to this kind of landscape photography which is a little challenging and I'm a little bit nervous as well about how the outcome will be.
What's your plan after launching the book?
Well, I would like to see how it will go and maybe I will rest for a while, I hope. I'm having editorial shoots this year which I always enjoye. Editorials to me are like a genuine vacation, where I see everything and enjoy every minute of it.
Have you received any support from any organisation?
Yes indeed. I have received strong support from Canon Middle East. Canon sponsored me during my shooting by letting me try different kinds of lenses and offering me the new EOS 1D Mark IV DSLR camera, which I love so much.
Also, Dubai Studio were very helpful by giving me permission to shoot in some areas in Dubai and also Dubai Airport. In fact, all were so kind in permitting me to shoot inside. I'm very glad that my first experience has found such great support.
What equipment have you used for capturing your shots? Why did you choose them?
In this book I was planning to shoot different areas of the UAE rather than fashion, which requires different lenses.
So Canon offered to let me test the new Canon EOS-1D Mark IV DSLR. I chose it because I needed something which I am flexible with. The camera gave me the results that I needed such as a little bit of softness in my photos.
The equipment I used in my photo book are:
Lenses:
• TS-E 24mm f/3.5 L Tilt-Shift Lens: it was great using this lens. Amazing how you can control blur and focus in the left and right, it saved a lot of artistic editing I used to do before.
• Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L
• Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L
• Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L
• Canon EF 85mm f/1.8
Camera:
• Canon EOS 1D Mark IV
What measures do you think would help attract more Emirati women to the world of professional photography?
I want them to be positive with everything. Life is difficult and it's not an easy job to be a female photographer in the first place; but nothing is impossible. Just be positive and always look at the bright side when you face a hard time and always seek for the best and the best quality, not less, and stay original.
I wrote this post directly from Iphone so sorry for some mistakes:
I'm too scared to say I enjoyed the shooting last Tuesday, I am satisfied for the first time about the shoot, all been planned and prepared for 2 weeks, the model, hairstylist, and my lovely farah makeup artist, we've got some of Feryal al bastaky's amazing amaZing collection.I would like to thank her, she had her time with us and helped me a lot in locations, it's really nice to have a great spirit around me while am shooting. they were the perfect team, I've been amazed by the hairstylist Marie because I worked with for 1st time, she was fast and did exactly wat I wanted in the photo we showed her. All been on time, makeup artist did her magic and Feryal was prepared in time. We went to the location and we photoshoot in two locations like I've planned. It was funny day everyone were staring and wanna join the shoot lol ^^.
I was glad I got the permission on time from dubaistudios they were very supportive and really great with dealing. The girl was so nice and really helped me a lot in there.
I really really wanna share some of the photos with you but I guess you will have to get the book to view it this time. I shall make it private for the meantime because some of the photos I've submitted been copied. I don't mind though since mine were the original since they will be in news soon but the rest of the shoot will be private this time and am so sorry I might add some after the book will be published for more teaser ads later on.
Am still confused about the photo cover, were talking about it with mom and she said: why don't you have all photos in the cover? I was like: O.O ma'ah! It's not a tourist guide book. Lol
So I guess when I will be done with all shoots gonna print them all and then gonna have a creative group and going to decide which one will go for cover. The cover is a very sunsitive thing to me. I always wonder how some magazines here don't care about their cover.
Dramas didn't stop this year, friends saying I might have some kind of bad energy because I meet ppl throwing their anger "craziness" at me for no reason. So I shall stop going for any social places this year till the madness down.
This will be my last post about the book project and now you will only have to count down the days till I finish it soon.
I will only inform you abt the interviews of the book and
You can check my Twitter page or fanpage for more updates about the book.
I'm also not going to take any photoshoot or booking on April, I will give all my feelings and time for the book till it's done, then am going to take real holiday since I haven't for 4 yrs. I'm thankful how my friends and family really tried to give me good time when I don't work but really I need a real break after the book is done, to forget the emotional feelings that I had with the book, each photos done with a special mood, like living with 100 spirits and mixed feelings.
And I won't take any booking or photoshoot after the book is done unless it's big commercial because I might be busy later with exhibitions, am not sure yet but there are some plans need to be sort out.
So I'm so sorry to all of you and wait for the next post soon about something else ^^

I know, no updates for a long time now, I really sit and ready to blog but then i don't have anything good to say so i keep it for another day, ok am lazy
We had a shooting for the book project on Sat, last week. I was so worried about the weather because it was full of clouds and they said it will be rainy day. Mom said we have to hurry up before the rainy storm starts. I luv it believe me, we are like waiting for it for the entire year, but not when you have a photoshooting, outside! so i was thinking, what's going on? the entire week was a disaster, and i only had limited time which is one week with Canon 1D Mark IV and the lenses to test. but, the MUA had done her work with the model, the model is ready and her hair is ready, wearing the jewelry and we've got into the car, so i said: I will be positive about today no matter what will happen let it happen. We arrived to the place, had lunch, and here came the rain, it was soft nice actually and it was just raining while we were eating, when we are done, the rain stopped, we start shooting then in 4 different locations, and yes!! we got shots with camels behind! and then we had time for the sea. it was lovely day. Who said positive thinking doesn't work? ^^ later that night the rain started to come so heavily and didn't stop till all the roads got flooded with water.
I returned the camera and the lenses. What i liked about that experience, the camera is really good and light, actually it's not heavy at all! and it gives me the best captures, so i decided to take it after a year of thinking to get the 5D Mark II.
maybe some of you are wondering why i didn't get it before? it's because i am that kind of person that i like to get a better camera when i deserve it. yes, better camera better quality but most of the job is done by the photographer, and i had to prove to myself I'm good first with the camera i have to get to the other level. and about the lenses i really enjoyed them and I'm glad that i had the chance to use them all and that gave me clear idea what i really need for my shoot or not.
so definitly I'm getting EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L. The good news is I bought the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV Digital SLR Camera it's officially mine ^^
I was sitting and looking at all the photos, like some and others didn't like. which made me think for a week and i decided to change the main story to go on with the photos i've got, and plus i will shooting more.
i will keep you with one photo for now and please forgive me because i won't post anymore till I'm done maybe just one later for a teaser.
p.s Dear anonymous write in my comments box, please write your name, i keep deleting by mistakes some comments because anonymous there is no shame to write a nickname :p and thank you

Am typing while my back hurts since I don't do Yoga this year and always saying I will do it tomorrow, I had pain. I went to the sea and my cousin helped me found some dunes, can u believe this? We were searching for a week on desert, all filled green which is good but not for my book.
I went to some old shops for the materials to male traditional outfits suits the model and they were done on time.
I spent 2 days shooting around the sea and sending fax to a place I need a permission for, and wow they r slow here. I don't know why but we keep delay the horses scene every week, something came up and I keep cancel, 2 months passed and then this week I said that's it, I will shoot, let finish this thing! It was Thursday all goes as it planned. But it was toooo windy in the morning, I was too worried to rain with too much wind, but them it calmed down when we arrived and omg it was too hot, and my body was in pain, no I can't cancel! sometimes farah "MUA" think am crazy lol
I did many fashion shoots it's way too better than doing art photography.
I start shooting the horses and I couldn't see the photos because it was too sunny, I kept running to the car to breath and mom was like:" do you wanna kill yourself?". Farah did the makeup inside the car in seat the poor girl lol and the model "Andrea" was so helpful and I was so glad she came from NY before our shoot day. While they were doing the makeup I went to see the horses. The good thing about that hot time that the horses were soo friendly and wanted me to touch them all the time. They were so young too from 3 to 4 yrs. I had only limited time with them like an hour. It was hard because I wanted to shoot the model while she hold the horse alone without anything on him. Which was hard. I picked the star horse, she came to me and was playing with me. I knew right away she will be the perfect horse who can model for us fast and she did. Amazing 3 yrs old Shamsa.
I'm so glad I didn't throw up that day from the hot sunny weather! We finished on time at 5 and left. Got milkshake from basken robbins with choc, and had migraine from the sun, I felt the pressure in my ears.
I thought this week shoot would be enjoyable and like I planned
The photos are not what I planned to. But from the photos I will manage what I can do and might change the story little bit.
I really need to do this week a fashion shoot somehow to cheer me up little bit lol, I saw T-ara new photoshooting and I loved their new look and the accessories! Inspiring shoot really.
wow too long post, I will leave you for now till another post. Forgive me if there is some mistakes in the post but am typing fast to sleep early ^^

hi all, I know it's been a long time since my last update, and what's happening? nothing really happened that's why i didn't update.
when you have a team in the photoshoot, it's hard to find them all available in the same day which make us keep delaying. This week again, because of the weather we canceled.
Normally, i don't talk about it until I'm done with any project but since i promised you to keep you all with me in the line, i will keep my promise :)
we will shoot at the end of this month again hopefully. This time i will do all my best to not cancel it because seriously I'm running out of time.
also, i keep canceling my meetings, booking for shoots, etc
so this week it was empty for me and i felt like a craaaaaaaaaaazy!! I hate doing nothing!
I did my new plan buy-list for this year, that i was holding myself not to get, so bye bye LV new bags loool
- I-phone
- new camera : because i think i deserve it!! XD i always treat myself a better camera
- new laptop macbook

hi everyone, I'm trying to keep you updated but actually nothing to talk about, as you can see am bad when it comes to blog lol. I'm writing this today so i can push myself to shoot my pretty Polaroid SX-70 Camera got it from all the way from japan, thanks to mijonju for helping me to get it ! I always wanted to get one and this year more since i saw LG commercial : generation of OZ ! and this one is soo perfect, I LOVE IT!
I have some ideas already for this Polaroid Cam. and now i only waiting to get my hands into the films.
I hope one day i have big collection of vintage cameras. I like my personal photos to be more simple and original and has a vintage style
ok now about the book, the shooting should start this week, but not everyone is ready so i might make it to the next week, which will be harder for me, because it will be Feb. and i will have hundreds of photos to edit. I'm also thinking about the locations and how the lighting it would be specially it will be my first time in that place, i really hope everything will go well, because i really don't like any of the results yet. I hope to get high quality photos this time and will be like i sketched and planned. I'm preparing my storyboard to show it for my team so we can work faster, what i will care about is the day light and when the sun goes down.
yes there are some moments i say to myself why shall i bother i better give up, can't do it, it's hard, everything goes wrong, then i get back to it. It happens when you have the artistic mood, you get different feeling every 10 minutes.
now, I remembered that it's my project and my book and these moments will not come again so i should enjoy it and let everything goes as it's, i will do my best with big smile in my face because i got this chance to do it at last.

I hope to get high quality photos this time and will be like i sketched and planned. I'm preparing my storyboard to show it for my team so we can work faster, what i will care about is the day light and when the sun goes down.
yes there are some moments i say to myself why shall i bother i better give up, can't do it, it's hard, everything goes wrong, then i get back to it. It happens when you have the artistic mood, you get different feeling every 10 minutes.
now, I remembered that it's my project and my book and these moments will not come again so i should enjoy it and let everything goes as it's, i will do my best with big smile in my face because i got this chance to do it at last.
soooo, what was happening, hmmm
still editing, and trying to have time for it because i have other editorials to finish this week, I try to keep myself focus and not tired.
We didn't shoot yet, I'm still thinking if it will be one day or two. It depends actually of what will happen tomorrow, i need to be confirmed about something. let's hope it will work! fighting!!
I spent last night working on these photos and i have a photograph of the model with "burga" I was wondering if i shall keep it in colour or B&W. or both. when i have to do this kind of decisions i get confused. so what do you think?
print available in here
there are many photos as well but let's keep them inside the book, shall we? lol

hey everyone, I'm typing while my eyes almost closing because i spent the whole two days just editing the photos of my book and try to figure out what's the best, I'm showing cousins some photos just to see how do they feel about them, sometimes you need to see it through people' eyes but of course artist eyes n_n. because it's my own work, I'm still not satisfied with any result yet but i started to like one or two photos I've done yesterday. I want to have also black and white photos in the book so let's hope the next shoot will be good.
i really want to show you some photos but i think i shall wait till my next post and to make sure no one will steal my idea till i publish it.
bye for now I really need to get some sleep after 5 hours editing for just 1 photo and it was just a try, I'm really must be crazy or something.

I decided to write almost daily about my book project, since everyone is asking me about it wherever I go, it's really nice to know many people around me really care about it. It's also funny when i go and ask some places for shooting for my book they ask me: ok, promise us a copy with your signature.... OK sure but let me finish it first. So the pressure now is getting worse, but i manage it.
I'm not even trying to think what fans and people are going to say about it or like it. In fact, I would be happy to publish my first book that actually is a photo story book. which reminds me somehow of my childhood books, when mom used to bring me thousand of books but i always end up with the books that contain photos, i used to enjoy.
The book also will contain some poems and since i didn't even write one after 1997, a famous person is going to help me out with it. Special thanks to him and his daughters, i will also do my best to translate some in English and some other languages.
The nice thing about this project that my parent really support me for it, they don't even argue of going out with me for shoot. ok because the whole family were with us. haha yeah because the two first shootings were in desert.
First, i went and studied the places before two years ago and this year, yes two years since the story of the book inside my head for almost 7 years and i decided it's the time to move it out to the world.
did i change some of the ideas about the book?
yes i did, because there are some scenes which are dangerous for the model to do, so i cut it out and we did more scenes in the desert for it.
first official day of shooting for my book:
complete disaster may i say.. the MUA and model were really on time at 2:30 pm, family split on that time into 2 groups, one of the group decided to go somewhere else in the last minute so we were late. we arrived at 4 and the place we went to supposed to prepare 2 camels for us, but the camels decided to go for a walk, so...... in somehow, I found out I forgot the memory card, since the assistant prepared all the things like we used to do before we go out, the memory was in the office, so i went back in the car with the model and assistant while i left the rest of the family and the mua waiting in the place.
with 1 hour left before the sun goes down, what shall i do? i should not lose that day i wouldn't give up this easily, arrived to the office got the memory card and went in the car. during our way to the place, we stopped in the desert somewhere near before the sun goes down, the model wa running and i was running and we took some shots before the sun goes down which was beautiful.
i know .. why do i do things in crazy way? i guess it meant to be.
anyway, we got back to the place.. and left after few mintues. we went back to the studio and i got some shots for her. which i think it will be lovely for the book. yes i have many comments of my work and i don't like it but it's normal thing since i want things perfectly but i think sometimes we need to let go and take it easy.
so of course we re done it again in the next day.
2nd official day of shooting for my book:
this time alone with mom helping, all came early, went to 3 locations, including the sea and the model wore two different lovely dresses. Special thanks to my aunt who gave us her two old traditional gowns from 40 yrs ago and still looking amazing and traditional gold.
So this is a very simple picture from first day shoot.
Right now, I'm trying to edit the photos which some of them i will add later on for print in deviant.
There is another shooting I'm planning for a month. Hopefully i am doing next week.
I will keep typing about it because i have about two months to finish it, I'm trying to give myself a deadline so i can finish it after all, and also to let you updated with the book project and for you all to encourage me, so... fighting!! and wish me luck n_
