80 BRIDES OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
The Shangri La in Muscat and the Bait Al Zubair Foundation put together a group exhibition showing the work of 80 top Omani female photographers. The 80 females are members of the fine Art Society here in Oman. This was the second exhibition, the first being last year. The 90 pieces of work highlights the talented photographers, with images of landscapes, portraiture, still life, narrative and emotion. Much of the work was in black and white and mostly printed onto canvas which is very popular here in Oman.
The pieces of work are for sale and there were several gaps in the exhibition space due to a sale or two of certain pieces...This is encouraging for the young photographers, to know that their work is marketable.
I support the Fine Art Society in any way that I am able, attending each of their exhibitions in which ever medium they choose to exhibit.
There is so much encouragement to develop the artistic skills and talents of Omani women today, several years ago this exhibition would never have been possible, the culture is changing gradually for the better. Women are now being encouraged to be individuals and the barriers are coming down.. Photography and art is now encouraged and the professionals are so willing to share there skills to those learning and developing.
