About

Omar Khaleel is a British-Arab photographer and director. Raised in Birmingham and working between London and the GCC, his work explores identity, belonging and the cultures of the Arabian Peninsula and the wider MENA region, rejecting shallow stereotypes in favour of authenticity and nuance.

His ongoing project Cast No Shadow has been featured and exhibited in GQ, Vogue, The Guardian, Scene Styled and Cairo Scene, and will be published as a book alongside a solo exhibition in 2027.

His fashion and campaign work, from Valentino Couture to Les Benjamins, Nike, Puma, Ted Baker and NEOM, carries the same lens.
