Abdulrahman Saleh is a visual artist, photographer, and filmmaker based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. His work explores place, memory, and the relationship between individuals and the environments they inhabit.
He documents everyday life and personal stories, with a particular focus on expatriate communities and the traditions, routines, and forms of belonging they create within cities across Saudi Arabia. Through a close and personal approach, he builds meaningful connections with his subjects, creating intimate, human centred images of people and ordinary life.
An award winning photographer working with both digital and analogue processes, Abdulrahman moves between documentation and personal interpretation. Through photography and cinematography, he explores how identity is shaped by place and how cities are experienced, remembered, and transformed over time.
