NORAH AL-AMRI

PHOTOGRAPHER

Norah Al-Amri is a 28-year-old Saudi street and documentary photographer based in Riyadh. She likes art and fashion, as well as documenting the changes occurring in Saudi Arabia from her own perspective.

Norah uses photography to capture real moments that represent people’s lives in Saudi Arabia. She believes this will help outsiders understand more about the country by giving them an insider's perspective on life in the Kingdom. Her photographs are inspired by the culture and human differences within her own country.

She loves exploring the streets and freezing moments behind windows. She has released two series, one entitled “Black is My Colour” referring to the black abaya that women throughout Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Gulf wear out in public, and another called “Reflections in Windows.”
