a Culturally Different kind of Photographer

Manal-Al-Dowayan, a middle east woman photographer lives in a semi-enclosed camp in Dhahran ( Eastern Province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). She is unusual as she is a famous photographer/artist living within the limits of her countries social and cultural conventions. Her work is commentary driven since western style photography is denied her. It is worth a look:
