Shoes, Elisabetta Franchi<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA portrait is a sum of all the connections and conversations that are built before the picture is even taken,\u201d says Raheed Allaf. With a background in filmmaking, her approach to photography carries a cinematic sensibility, where each image is guided as much by exchange as composition. Raised between Jeddah, Al Khobar and Riyadh before settling in Dubai, her perspective is informed by a life lived across cities, each shaping how she observes people and places. Ironically, photography was not initially on the cards, but gradually became her primary mode of expression.<\/p>\n<p>She is drawn to capturing people in their most unguarded state, often working with Arab women artists, while also paying close attention to fleeting, everyday moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. She hopes people find wonder in her work. \u201cNot in a grand way, just in a subtle, personal way where you look at an image and feel a shift, even slightly in how you see yourself or the spaces around you,\u201d she shares.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia Cliffe<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"In Focus Meet 6 Female Photographers to Know Now\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Vogue%20X%20Female%20photographers6163.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Shirt and pants, Sportmax.
