In the first of a photography exhibition series hosted by CAP, the work of Kuwaiti
photographers’ is brought together to celebrate Mother Nature and the mesmerizing
creatures of her animal kingdom.
This exhibition’s four photographers have collected an arsenal of awards and
international recognition; from world-renowned competitions and organizations such
as: National Geographic, the Al-Thani International Photography Contest, the
American Photography Federation, the Hamdan Bin Rashed Contest, the Maria Luisa
Contest in Spain and the Austria Photography Contest.
The photographs featured in Wild Moments have been selected thanks to their
stunning technical quality, inspiring subjects and artistic direction. Each of the
photographs elevates its animal subject either by abstracting its form or by
highlighting its personality.
