Dia khalil's photostream

A Sudanese Photography lover, working basically and officially as a Petroleum Engineer, but am so into Photography, my camera is my close friend which is always with me where ever i go.

Growing up at the intersection of a multitude of diverse cultures is quite an experience. Whether its watching the Nuba mountainers wrestle, sitting in a Daenka drum circle, or attending a ‘holeya’ where Shufi dervishes chant their songs, the experience presents a truly unique perspective. Sudan is a country where rich African and authentic Arabic cultures are entangled to produce a colorful fabric that is worth exploring.

I took interest in photography a few years back when I started traveling across country in business trips. Visualizing different geographies, people, and tradition made me wonder if the outer world is aware of the beauty of this land.

I started with a simple point- and- shoot digital camera, but very quickly began reading on everything related to photography. I joined a number of online communities where I exchanged information with other photography enthusiasts, and learned a lot from them. Equipped with lenses and my love for photography and my people, I now wonder around, observe, and try different things all the times


My vision is simple: reflecting a true image of my people from a perspective that is different from what mainstream media offers. With all the challenges that face it, Sudan remains to be a beautiful place that I want the world to catch a glimpse of. Enjoy the ride.
My Target is to put the Sudanese photographer under the spotlight of the world media specially on the internet, and take the lead to express Sudanese, African, Arabian & Nubian cultures to the world throw my camera .

For me Photography I consider it as kind of Art and Technique to express my feeling and emotions of everyday life..
I am so into Macro, landscape ,Panorama, Portrait , HDR and Black and white & street Photography.
