Meet MISBAH the first born in Dubai generation of artists
Born and raised in Dubai, Misbah is a young photographer and content creator who bought his first film camera for $5 almost 10 years ago.
Well, it’s exactly where an artist generation is coming out. It’s crazy but they are the first ones to be born in Dubai. Misbah shares w/ us a unique story about how they are shaping this new scene.
“The thing is: most of us were born and raised here. When you're born and raised in a country, it's different from coming as a tourist. Most of us live with our parents, so we don't have to worry about rent and stuff like that. That gives us the opportunity to go out and work for ourselves. Any money we make, we can give it to our friends or we can just spend it on ourselves. That obviously applies even until we are 25, 26 here. There has never been a culture of working while young in Dubai. It’s a very new thing. My friends finished school, they didn't go to university, they started working. And then when you start hanging out with different kinds of people, you start realizing that all the people who are photographers, they make videos, clothes, DJs, etc. So honestly, it's a very new thing to have kids AS photographers and DJs and stuff like that." As the community is small, people do reach out to us, Hey, I want you to shoot for this brand here. This scene in Dubai is very new -- which means it's very small, so it's easy to get in touch and connect with people.”
So that became HIS Thing.
“It's very fun. You wait for the pictures. You have to wait to see how they come out and it's just a very fun experience.”
For real. Dubai is a very hot place where you could easily feel cold in 18 degrees weather. But only if you were born over there, and maybe that’s the secret of how to keep up your style and stay cool. Misbah shares leathxr is also a thing.
“I know it's a hot place, but honestly, most of the time we're in the aircon. If it gets less than 20ºC the weather is very cold because I was born and raised here. Obviously, for you, it's just nice weather. But I'm like freezing ‘cause I'm used to hotter weather. But I think the use of leather is just that. It is. Oh, it's a luxury item. It's a very expensive item. So it's the association that all leather is comfortable. It feels nice. And it is a luxury item.”
Get your nice leather jacket to enjoy the vibe in Dubai, where bliss meets comfort and style. All aspects you can find in a nice leather jacket.
Misbah is spreading the news: analog cameras can film nd this is as cool as leather wares. ‘Cause after shooting, you gotta wait to see how the content comes out. It seems there are not many people that know you can actually do analog filming.'
Did u know that?
