photos a la chair is a seasonal photography project by the architect ali karimi and the photographer camille zakharia, who hold a handful of shoots a year. each one sets up somewhere new in bahrain, where a guest artist builds a backdrop and anyone passing by is welcome to sit and be photographed.

for my edition i worked with the wire fish traps that bahrain has always used, out by the sea. neighbours, strangers and families, each one framed by a tool the island has fished with for generations.
