Embarking on a journey of professionalism driven by curiosity, a thirst for experimentation, and passion. Hind AlRaeesi ventured into the dynamic world of sports photography, marking the genesis of her illustrious career behind the lens.

From amateur beginnings in 2013, Hind made a bold move towards professional sports photography in 2018. Unlike many female photographers, she forwent fashion and make-up to focus on capturing adrenaline-fueled moments in football, volleyball, jiu-jitsu, and swimming.
