Jamie van Leeuwen, Qatar: The heart of a country (TRAVEL 2023)

Qatar is a country that has gone through almost unimaginable change. In the space of one lifetime, the tiny Middle Eastern country has become one of the wealthiest nations in the world thanks to the discovery of vast oil and gas reserves that catapulted it onto the international stage. But old traditions and beliefs still lie at the heart of Qatar. This photography series seeks to explore the 'old world' that still exists in a rapidly modernising society.
