Judging Photography Competition at Murdoch University

It was a great honour to be one of the judges for Murdoch University Dubai Photography Competition.
We went to the university 2 week ago to to see students' photographs from high schools & universities around UAE and to select winners for each category.
I just wanted to say that all of them did great job and I loved their photographs.
Keep shooting because you are doing it right and directly from your heart.

Their Third Annual Student Photography Exhibition was last week on Wednesday.

For more information please check this to read more about it and to check some of winners' photographs.

I know I don't post like I used to but you can always find me on tumblr or Twitter

There is one more post coming very soon :)

Wesgreen lecture and the book tour

First of Feb, I had a lecture at Wesgreen School for Design & Art department students to talk about my career and my photobook "Movements".  The faculty & staff  were very welcoming and I would like to thank Mr Asif Mehmood the senior head of Art & Design at Wesgreen for helping and organising it for me. Also for Mr Yamam for  preparing and helping me out on the day of lecture.

the School is really good. It was such a wonderful experience to meet the wonderful students who some of them have really promising future and I'm proud of them. It's really nice to meet young fresh people who also have great sense of humour. I enjoyed the most the Q&A, some of the students' questions were really smart and actually good.

I'm have more plans to visit some Universities & Schools for the tour of the book / talking briefly about my career, Q&A. whenever i have time, if you are in one and would like me to come you can send me an email and I will try my best to be there. It's always great to meet new people^^

updates and news

I don't know how to begin this post, the weather is changing here so normally we don't shoot outdoors till the winter is almost ready, ok long story. I've made few changes, the .com is not working for the moment because i am trying to transfer it, so i got the .net just in case something happen and i lose the .com
so from now you can check http://lady-design.net also I've added a new folder called: Movements and there you can find few selection of images from my book. many told me i should join in competitions with some of the photos, but i think now i am too late to do it since i took long vacation to rest and get myself back to fashion photography. there are many plans but I'm taking them slowly for some reasons.

I'm now updating my portfolio, I'm looking for young new faces, I prefer blonde or light brown hair, female,
so if you think you can recommend someone please send me your photos at ladydesign2007@gmail.com 

so please check my twitter and join to get some updates just in case if I can't update here.

Dear anonymous, like I said before if you can't write your name or blogsite it will go automatically
to the spam and I won't be able to view it.

I just checked it lately to find out it's full of your comments, couldn't read them all but I just read last comment which is funny little bit.

There is a question for my recent post of images, or I don't know what it is because of the way that person gave the comment but it was about why I took this photo in only one angel?

if you are regular visitor or at least you shall see my work before you give such a comment you might be understand it's a new style I want to try for a model portfolio which I really liked and as a photographer I choose the angel I like for the model, but as you can see this model is perfect.
I don't show all the photos I take, I only share what I like and what I can show in my limited time.
I always shoot differently and try to experiment new style and lighting.
This style I wanted to do since last year but couldn't find the right model till now

So the answer is: I DID it. C'mon we are not stupid!
and about the model's expression  is kpop style expression that I asked for it.

 hope the photos I posted will satisfy your questions


normally I don't answer these kind of comments but I just wanted to prove in photos that there are different kind of photos photographers normally have but don't share.


And to anonymous who want to educate us, maybe if you will learn how to work on your way of typing a comment and be at least sophisticated!!! and professional to artists / photographers then we may respect and consider your opinion :)
