Through its lens, I capture the beauty of the world I see. I use it to translate the ideas I have in my mind into reality \u2013 photography is my escape whenever I feel lost.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/preproductiondemo.com\/villa88\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DJI_0279-791x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24359\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Noora Al Hammadi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Noora, who first picked up a camera in 2009 as a teenager, has recently graduated to another form of photography; one that breathes new life into the locations that we\u2019ve grown so accustomed to around the city; one that puts on display all the wonders the Emirates have to offer. Using a bird\u2019s-eye view, she unearths the secrets that lie hidden in plain sight, and revitalizes them by capturing the scenery from a new vantage point. Shooting striking images of  landscapes around the UAE, Noora\u2019s art urges her viewers to reconsider the world as they know it by \u201ctaking a step back\u201d and taking in \u201ca view of the world that\u2019s completely different from what they\u2019re used to.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Art as a means of escape is a concept that most artists feel familiar with, and it\u2019s no different for Noora, who says \u201cI find my photography to be an escape from the daily bustle of life, and [one that] showcases that the intricate details of everyday experiences are different when you look at the bigger picture. It\u2019s a reminder that we\u2019re all connected, and complete each other.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/preproductiondemo.com\/villa88\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DJI_0162-791x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24361\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Noora Al Hammadi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through sweeping views of the ocean, the streets, and the buildings inhabiting those streets, is the pulsing heart of the UAE &#8211; and that\u2019s exactly what the talented photographer\u2019s work seeks to unveil. Noora succeeds in leaving her viewers in awe of her depiction of these staggering sights, that are right there in our metaphorical backyard. She adds that she\u2019s \u201calways seeking  beauty in the places that I visit. I depend on my lens and a minimalistic approach to show how beautiful my country is, and beauty is what inspires me to be creative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/preproductiondemo.com\/villa88\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DJI_0194-791x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24362\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Noora Al Hammadi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Follow Noora on Instagram @nh7_  <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cEvery craftsperson owns tools that they use to tell a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,60],"tags":[15,18,17],"class_list":["post-24355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-drink-dine","category-things-to-do-sharjah","tag-aerial-photography","tag-noor-al-hammadi","tag-uae-photography"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
