Hind Mezaina
Hind Mezaina was born in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) in 1971 and has spent her entire life in this continuously evolving city. Hind discovered Lomography, a style of photography that focuses on spontaneity and uses a special Lomo camera, by chance and has since dedicated her creative energy to this unique art form. Today, she is the Ambassador of the Lomographic Society of Dubai, a group of international lomographers. Hind's lomographs capture spontaneous moments using techniques that include double exposure and use deep saturated colors. She is a regular contributor to Soura, a photography magazine distributed throughout the Middle East and her works were recently featured in the March 2007 issue of Nylon magazine. Hind's lomographs have been widely exhibited throughout the U.A.E. Hind's recent shows include a series of group exhibitions organized by Art Below, in underground "tube" stations in urban centers around the world including London and Tokyo; "New Faces New Vision" at DUCTAC, Dubai; "Fusion" at the Emerson Gallery, Berlin; and "Suhoor" an exhibition of Emarati art in Bastikiya, Dubai.
