Hameed Hussain Al-Makhlooq, a 2014 graduate, holds a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology and Computing from Arab Open University, Kingdom of Bahrain.
He started as a talented photographer, capturing shots of everyday life in various cities, recording what he might find in the streets and documenting people's wonderful, yet simple, lifestyles. He participated in several local and international competitions, and has won more than 15 awards in the field of photography—the last of which was the gold medal (and first place) in Lights of Amman Photography Competition, as well as Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Award.
Hameed overcame the challenges he faced at university, as he had to reconcile his fast-evolving passion for photography with academic life. He would devote about four hours daily; studying the basics of Photoshop, in order to become a professional photographer.
After he graduated, Hameed could finally manage to realize his dream, as he has successfully set up his own photography studio; specializing in Product Photography, Advertising Photography and Commercial Photography.
