In creative work, we generally revisit what others have written, and we might employ other creations in our writing. The photograph, however, is a different world; every picture is a project that involves renewal. In every photo, there is an attempt to write a visual text from a unique angle unlike any other. The photograph is an independent work that elevates and evolves with the creator's awareness of its importance, value, social impact, and aesthetic significations. All creative arts need documentation, and the photograph is—without a doubt—an ideal medium for documenting life and the civilizational manifestations of humanity on this earth. In documenting his photography journey, which he has been navigating for decades, Mohammad Ali Al-Samadi tries to answer many questions in this field, approaching his own understanding of the culture and symbolism of the image while steering clear of theorization. This is why he returns with a precious catch from every photography trip; it is enough for him to choose the right lens, the suitable location to capture the moment, and the settings that ensure its aesthetic immortalization.
