Yemeni society changes before photographer's lens

The intangible changes taking place in Yemeni society can be studied through the lens of photographer Abdul Rahman Al Ghabri, also a famous Yemeni director and father of an artistic family. All of his sons are artists and filmmakers. One of them, Ameen, was nominated for an Academy Award for his film "Karama Has No Walls."

Al-Monitor selected a collection of his best photographs taken at various stages of his career and asked him about the memories behind them, the circumstances of their shooting and how different they are from the current situation, looking for a deeper understanding of the changes in Yemeni society over the past four decades.
