No other photographer knows the Qatari desert quite so well as Khalid Al Thani. The movements of its sands, the patterns of light, the behavior of its camels, falcons and oryxes, the changes in its sparse vegetation throughout the seasons-all this and more he has patiently observed, and captured with his camera. Al Thani photographs exclusively in analogue, and for many years a Leica with 35mm black-and-white film has been his favorite tool. Now, he has turned to Polaroids, and this book publishes the results for the first time. Al Thani's interest is not only the subtle, painterly compositions and luminous color variations of the medium, but also its fascinating irregularities: the unpredictable streaks, blotches and distortions that make every print unique.
