About the Work

Envision the vast deserts of Saudi Arabia: the windswept sand dunes, the awe-inspiring rock formations, and on the horizon, a resolute camel basking in the radiant sun. Camels, particularly the dromedary, known for its singular hump, stand as enduring symbols of the Arabian landscape. Throughout the rich history of Saudi Arabia, camels have been immortalized in poetry, art, and folklore.

"Camels from Saudi Arabia" serves as a bridge between the realms of the past and the present, paying homage to this magnificent creature that has left an indelible mark on the culture. This captivating collection showcases original photography by Oliver Pilcher, capturing the essence of these majestic animals in all their glory.
