Reem Al –Faisal is a Jeddah born photographer who graduated from Manarat High School in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and studied Arabic literature in Kind Abdul Aziz University, Jeddah. Later, she went on to pursue a photographic career in Paris, France. She also studied photography at Speos School in Paris. She now divides her time between Paris, where her photographs are developed, and Jeddah.

Al-Faisal’s first show took place in 1994 in Jeddah (the first public exhibition of black and white photography in Saudi Arabia) and since then she has exhibited worldwide.

Reem is a Muslim artist, sprung from her native Saudi culture and history. She seeks to reveal signs of the Divine in nature and in Man. For her, “light is one of the many manifestations of God, which He casts in our path through life to remind us of His constant presence in ourselves and in every place. Every photograph is a pattern of light and shade”.

“For me”, she says,” My photography is a way to praise God's glory in the universe”.

Reem’s photography “Shape of light” will be exhibited at the Sultan Gallery in Kuwait, from 16th February-11th March 2010. In this exhibition, the photographs of Reem Al-Faisal touch the senses and share with the viewer the very essence of the shape of light.
