Photographer: Arturo Rivo Jr, Philippines.
Prize: Bronze Award
Entry Description:
I love travel and documentary photography. Working in the UAE makes me appreciate their rich culture. One of the culture that interest me most is the relationship of their people and their camels. The UAE is historically known for its attachment to camels which are of social and economic value in the region. The animal is famously known as the ship of the desert because of its walk, which is much like the motion of a ship at sea. Patience is one of its most observable features and camels are generally useful animal. In this series, I present to you some of the best moments I captured in the life of UAE's people and their camels.
