Read MoreAlmarri got into photography in 2016, and what started as a mere hobby quickly grew to become a passion and a philosophy. There are no boundaries to the artist's creativity, as he always seeks to develop his artistic outlook and visual culture. According to Talib, 'tomorrow's work should be better than today's'.
