Inspired By Her Own Story: This Female Photographer Shares Amazing Photos Of Saudi Weddings
Award winning Saudi photographer Tasneem Al Sultan poignantly portrays different shades of Saudi marriages.The beautiful project is inspired by her personal journey into fairy tale wedding at a young age and the photographs she shares are absolutely creative!
She writes “ I started the project thinking I only had my personal story to share. I was married at the age of 17, and living separately as a single parent for the last six years of an unhappy 10 year marriage. Many family members commented on how foolish I was to ask for a divorce. Only later, I realized that there were many Saudi women who had similar experiences, beyond my expectations of a typical Saudi housewife.”
