About

Dalal Al Mutairi is a photographer and visual storyteller from Saudi Arabia. Her work is rooted in personal reflection and explores themes of memory, emotion, and identity—capturing quiet, intimate moments that speak to broader human experiences.

In 2025, she earned her MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art in London, supported by a scholarship from the Saudi Ministry of Culture. That same year, she exhibited her work during London Photo Week at the BBC Television Centre. In 2024, she participated in ملامح الريَاض (Seeing Riyadh) during Misk Art Week and has also showcased her photography in local exhibitions in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In 2022, she was selected for a photography micro-residency with the Misk Art Foundation, culminating in a final group exhibition.

Dalal continues to develop her practice through an ongoing exploration of storytelling, using photography as a means to document, question, and connect. Her work invites viewers into deeply personal yet universally resonant narratives shaped by her surroundings, memories, and cultural context.
