Location: Zekreet, Qatar, Year: 2016, Photographer: Ajani Charles

This is a series of photographs summarizing Ajani Charles’ time spent with a group of camel trainers in Qatar’s Zekreet desert during a month that he spent in Qatar as a producer, overseeing a branding project on behalf of Direct Trading And Contracting, a former Qatar-based company specializing in civil construction works.

Like many of the employees of Direct Trading And Contracting, the Qatar Trainers of Zekreet were humble migrant workers from other regions of the middle east, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and elsewhere.

Ajani was inspired by their friendliness and work ethic as they toiled in the extreme heat of one of Qatar’s most famous deserts. He was also fascinated by the beauty and resilience of the camels he encountered and documented.
