Biography

I am Amer Sweidan, a photographer based in the Middle East between Amman, Jordan and Doha, Qatar.

My experience with managing, directing, producing and editing shoots for print, online and digital media is broad. I have worked extensively in portraiture, commercial, advertorial and documentary photography. My work has been published in several local, international, and digital publications and has been featured in covers, editorials, interviews, features, fashion as well as commercial ads. I worked as Head Photographer at VIVMAG Magazine, a fashion and lifestyle magazine, and Trendesign Magazine, an architecture, interior and decor magazine.

I currently work as the official Photographer at Qatar Airways. Creating a wide variety of visual images including corporate, people, aviation, products, and interior for usage in marketing and product development.

As a photographer, I developed a philosophical understanding of photography; for me, photography is a journey I undertake through the viewfinder. It is a career path that has enabled me to combine my creativity and passion to produce visual artwork.
