Zain’s workshop adopted a unique approach, in that it not only focused on the general essentials of photography and videography, but also focused on the highly specialized world of smartphone cameras. Today’s smartphones are equipped with high-quality, professional-level camera systems, and their technical capabilities can even match those of traditional cameras.

During the session, Kuwaiti photographer and content creator Abdulaziz Al Suraya focused on a number of topics, including innovative approaches to photography and videography using smartphones, how to use specialized apps to professionally edit photos and videos, understanding colors and light and how to utilize them in visual content, how to reflect your personal touch on your work, and more.

The session was joined by many photography enthusiasts.

Zain continues to cultivate a culture of creativity within the community by empowering talented people to take advantage of technology and enrich the local art scene. The company continues to collaborate with local content creators to offer programs, workshops, and sessions to encourage the public – especially young people – to pursue their passions and foster their innovation, creativity, and technology skills.
