- Suleman Yakub is a fine art photographer based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Portuguese by nationality and of Turkish, Afghan, and Indian descent, he makes photographs about memory, place, and the moments most people walk past. He first picked up a camera at fourteen and has been chasing the same instinct ever since — to see the world from an angle no one else takes, and to hold it still. His work moves between quiet, personal series such as What the Stones Remember and precise, commissioned images of cars and machines, drawing on a background in mechanical engineering that lends his frames both technical control and a patient, deliberate eye. He plans each image long before the shutter and believes a photograph earns its place only when it could not have been made by anyone else.
