Once again, I went camping in the summer of 2011 at the beautiful Rocky Mtn Natl Park here in Colorado. Amazing hikes and lovely nature to be indulged in! here are the photos I came out with. 

Here are the photos i've taken at Seven Falls, Colorado Springs.  I know they are too few, but i had a lot a photos but not much variety so I chose these as the best outcome. Enjoy!

I know it's been forever since I promised these photos, but here they are. These are the ones from Garden of the Gods and there are 2 more sets to come from Seven Falls and Cave of the Winds. Stay Tuned!

As one of the founding members of a Kuwait based photography group (We Are Here), I held a Studio Photography  workshop back in Kuwait during my last visit in January 2011.

I've recently started a new portrait project (Title above) and so far it's looking good! My choice of Black and White isn't to merely eliminate color, but to emphasize deeply on the Model, Background, and Composition. With the lack of colors these 3 elements have to be perfected in order to capture a unique photograph.

I'm looking forward to finish this project with as many models as possible, below is just a sample of the project.

Hello everyone! 

I realize this website has been pretty inactive for quite a while now, but i hope you all understand how life can keep us busy. 

Good news though! I haven't been neglecting photography that much, I actually have planned an exhibition at my current university (CSU) starting Feb 16th-Mar 19th. 

here is a sneak peak at a handful of the photos that will be presented: 

Hello everyone!

I've just finished processing the photos from the latest photo trip I took in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. 

It was one hell of a trip! loved the wild life, waterscapes and Birds I found there and now you all get to enjoy them as well:

Good morning class! I hope you all had yourself a fun summer vacation! So who got their cameras with them during their summer trips? Any good shots you don’t mind sharing with the class? If any of you would like to show us what you’ve got please send me an email with the photo attached and some basic details about the photo (location, date, exif data if available) to Naser@NaserPhoto.com and I’ll be glad to show it to the class next time! With that being said let’s pick up where we left off now. Last two lectures we talked about What to shoot and When to shoot. Those two elements are highly essential and today we will continue the series with chapter three of our book: Where to shoot. Today should be a short class.

Hello!

It has been a very long time since I've last posted new photos and I apologize for that, I guess "Life" happens :) 

any ways, We went camping a few days back and of course I took the chance to snap some shots here and there! bad news is that we didn't stay long so I didn't get that many photos, so I promise next trip there will be more photos! 

here you Go!

Three of my cityscape photos are going to be displayed at "Kuwait Vision" exhibition on Thursday May 13th @6pm - Friday May 14th 10pm in Hilton Manqaf They will also be available for purchase as prints for 25 K.D each.

Unfortunately though, I will not be attending this event since I'm still in the U.S. . I'm only hoping that I can make it for the next one. 

here is the Facebook event page of the exhibition: Link 

Time: Thu 13/5 @6pm - Fri 14/5 @10pm
Location: Hilton- Manqaf, Kuwait

Good morning class! How’s everyone doing today? Good to see you all again. I hope you enjoyed last lecture’s homework and assignment. By now everyone here should know “What” they want to shoot, because today we will be covering Chapter 3: When to Shoot.

As you all should know; time and location are two Essential parts in the art of Photography. Unlike many other arts where you work in a controlled environment like a studio or a closed room, Photography goes beyond the walls of a single room. Photography expands to the outside world! It reaches the sky with Arial Photography and all the way deep down blue oceans with Underwater Photography!

If I were to present you all the chance to buy prints of my photos and have them delivered to you doorsteps, for a reasonable price and a variety of sizes, would you buy any? and how many ?

Simple poll, but please be straight forward and honest about this, don't vote just to make me feel good. I need good and honest feedback.

As some of you might know, I went to LA Zoo a few weeks back; specifically to shoot my favorite animal; the Snow Leopard! which I spent a whole hour in front of its cage with my 70-300mm lens. I took around 250 shots only of the Snow Leopard and ended up with about 20 after filtering. 

I also took some shots of some other animals but didn't like many of'em. I got some good shots of the Lion and Lioness. The tiger spent the whole day sleeping! then it only lifted its head and stayed still ;S so i walked away. 

here you go: 

Updated on April 21st 2010
I've recently Updated the album with about 8 new photos from my last photoshoot at Horsetooth Mountain park with Saleh Aljemaz. Check out the first 8 photos in the Slide show

As some of you might already know; I'm moving from Los Angeles,CA to Fort Collins, CO. So for this years spring break I decided to head over there and visit the place to check it out and finish some stuff before the big move. I do realize the big difference and EVERYTHING, so please if you want to comment and say how Hard of a move this will be, please spare me the time. 

Any ways, as most of you know; Colorado is FAMOUS for its nature! it has got one of the most astonishing landscapes and natural views I've ever laid eyes on! and I haven't seen much yet! so while checking out the place, I of course got my camera and "checked it out" in a different way, and here are the first batch of Photos that I've taken. Some in Fort Collins, and some on my way to Boulder.

Enjoy!

My Second article is has been published today in Nebras Magazine (Link), hope u enjoy it ;)

Intro:

Good morning class! I hope you had yourselves an artful time after last lecture! The real art work will start now. The first lecture was about the types of photography. We discussed some of the basic types of photography that are used out there, and although it was a long lecture, I promised everyone that you will thank me for it later. Today you will know why I said that with confidence! So grab your notebooks ‘n pens n warm them up! I’ll make sure to keep you all awake through this lecture.

This will be a series of Articles posted Monthly in correspondence to Nebras Magazine issues. I'm writing for the magazine and thought I could share with you the articles over here. 

So here it is, the first article I've ever officially wrote: Click Link> Photography 101: Types of Photography

Back in June 2009 I had an interview published by Al-Jareeda Newspaper - Kuwait, and I would Like to share it here with you all.

It's interesting to see how some things I mentioned there have now changed almost completely...

Special Thanks to : Asrar Al-Ansari for making the interview

I've looked through the web looking for a definition to set as a ground for this article, but unfortunately I couldn't find any that I personally like. Reason is that the definitions I've found were too typical. Every reference defines photography in a materialistic perspective. A perspective concerned in showing photography as the act of taking photos, whether its an art or otherwise.

I have to strongly argue with this concept which most people simply take for granted. Photography is taken for granted! Nowadays, almost every individual owns a camera, and quite a few own pro ones. If we were to define a photographer as a person who takes photos we will have a whole population of photographers since people can now take photos from their mobile phones! Photography is not only for those who have a professional BIG camera with a big long lens.

Photography is an art, but not all photographers are artists. For a photographer to be an artist he has to Feel the photos he's taking. This kind of feeling isn't a talent as much as it's an earned and well developed skill. A photographer goes through many stages starting from learning to use a camera to learning how to show the world what he feels through his photographs, and the camera is merely a tool for this purpose.

Photography is a Language. Photography is My language. I speak out to you all through my photos. many people see my photos and can only see the colors and shapes, while very few actually see what's behind these colors and shapes. I compose my photographs carefully, taking into consideration the elements and objects in each photo as each hold a certain meaning and delivers a certain message (You will understand this more once I start discussing my photos here soon).

I will be reaching out to each and everyone of you with my photos. I will be showing you what the real feelings behind a photograph are and how strong they can be. I studied photography on my own only to be able to Speak it. I studied it so I can express what my eyes see and what my mind feels.  Photography is the language I will be using on this blog, and I hope everyone will be able to understand it.
