Al-Baraa Mansoor Al-Sameai (b. 1997 in Taiz, Yemen) initially pursued a degree in business administration. However, his hobby in photography, which ignited in 2010, transformed into his professional pursuit. By 2017, he had transitioned into a career as a photographer and filmmaker, collaborating with several international institutions and organisations. Three years ago, he established his own production company. Al-Baraa has actively participated in numerous international exhibitions, including the "ta.dh.am" exhibition, during which, in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut, works were exhibited in Berlin and Amman. His focus lies in showcasing the beauty of Yemen and the narratives of its people, aiming to counteract the negative stereotypes portraying Yemen solely as a war-torn nation devoid of life. Through his social media platforms, he endeavours to share the splendour of Yemen with the world.
