Hind Al Raeesi is an Emirati sports and portrait photographer whose work focuses on athletic performance, emotion, and movement. She began photographing in 2013 and transitioned to professional sports coverage in 2018.
Alongside live event coverage, she develops studio portraits and campaign imagery for athletes and regional sports figures, bringing the same intensity into controlled settings.
Her portfolio spans football, volleyball, jiu jitsu, and swimming, with an emphasis on decisive moments and strong character-led storytelling. She has photographed high profile teams and events, including work linked to the Saudi national team during the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, and coverage connected with Manchester City activity in Abu Dhabi and abroad.
Hind is a Sony ambassador in the Middle East and maintains a strong multi platform presence, using it to share behind the scenes insight, highlight regional sporting talent, and build visibility for sports photography as a serious professional path.
Beyond assignments, Hind is vocal about creating space for women in demanding creative fields. She balances a growing career with motherhood, and frames her work as both personal ambition and cultural contribution, proving that elite-level sports photography is not limited by geography or gender expectations. Her stated goal is to break into the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League as a working photographer, pushing beyond regional boundaries while keeping her visual identity rooted in the energy and pride of Middle East sport.
