A photo exhibition of Qatari photographer Mohammed Al Baker was inaugurated by the Minister of Culture H E Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Hamad Al Thani yesterday at the headquarters of Qatar Photography Center in Cultural Village Foundation, Katara. 

The ‘Saber’ exhibition, with 50 wildlife photos on display, showcases the beauty of a picturesque Qatari environment that attracts 300 species of resident and migratory birds, as well as rare birds of dazzling colours.   

Al Baker said that he was keen to choose the best pictures that were taken of the resident and migratory birds in the Qatari environment.  

The wildlife photographer, who kickstarted his photography career in 2018, said he opted for bird photography in 2019, producing more than 150 pictures of migratory and resident birds in the Qatari environment with all its details and movements. Wildlife photography is risky given the photographer’s exposure to life-threatening reptiles, but it is also entertaining because the photographer feels proud when taking an aesthetic photos for birds in the Qatari environment, Al Baker said.
