I found Reem's work thorough the GPP newsletter, which features her as an upcoming Emirati photographer (who happened to take courses at GPP). I like her choice of subjects and her compositional style, but the oversaturated colors are too garish, too demanding. The b&w white images work much better, but in many of these there is too much contrast. I find I prefer images that look more like what I see with my eye, rather than colorful, high contrast interpretations. Perhaps that is because after years of exhausting myself fighting to make the world what I wanted it to be, I have been working hard to accept the world as it is.
