ABOUT
About Mohammad Anabtawi
Mohammad Anabtawi is a Dubai-based photographer, visual artist, and photography educator working across landscape, travel, architecture, and fine-art photography.
His work combines technical precision with visual storytelling, focusing on light, atmosphere, place, and the relationship between natural environments and the people who experience them.
Mohammad’s photography has been recognised through awards and exhibitions, and his teaching approach is built around practical understanding rather than memorising camera settings. He helps students understand why photographic decisions work, how to evaluate their own images, and how to develop a more deliberate and consistent creative process.
Through live courses and private tutoring, Mohammad teaches camera control, exposure, lenses, light, composition, field workflow, image editing, and visual style.
