Who I Follow: Batool Al Daawi

Photographer, filmmaker and painter Batool Al Daawi has been colouring our timelines with her beautiful shots and interesting captures, ever since she took the lovely decision to create an Instagram account. The artistic enigma takes us on a journey of hard work and passion with every post, but where does she find her online inspiration?

@natgeocreative - National Geographic Creative, a photography and video agency. I love wild life and travel photography. I also follow all of National Geographic's accounts. 

 

 

Photo by @andy_mann: On assignment for @natgeo #pristineseas in the Selvagens Islands, an inhabited Portuguese island chain about 200 miles off the coast of Western Sahara. The Pristine Seas project was launched in 2008, by Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Enric Sala, to identify, survey, protect and restore the last truly wild places in the ocean. The team is currently working to extend the marine reserves in the area where marine life can be protected against heavy fishing pressure. Day one of the expedition they found themselves in the eye of a Barracuda hurricane, a good sign that the fisheries here are healthy.

@philipplein78 - I follow Philip Plein's official and personal account, because he's a huge inspiration to me especially after meeting him and listening to his story and how he started his career. I always feel motivated when I see his work or photos.

@sheriffayed - I'm very interested in travelers and Sherif is one of the most hard working people I know; his videos are funny, his photos are interesting and since he started traveling around, his account is only getting better and better with the addition of each new photo/video he posts. 

 

 

Hanging with one arm off a 100 meter high cliff. This is definitely one on the dumbest things I have ever done, but I did give my mom a good scare though. 😄😜 If you don't believe me go ask @leanlivinggirl she took the picture. #Oman #TravelWithSherif #ReachYourPeak #Idiot #DumbAss
