Notes: Lasting Impressions by Noor Ali Rashid (The UAE Royal Photgrapher) Noor Ali Rashid, also known as UAE's "Royal Photographer" passed away four years ago, yet his legacy lives on through his timeless works. Lasting Impressions showcases never-before-seen photographs taken by Noor Ali Rashid, the official photographer to the ruling families of the United Arab Emirates. Celebrated as the father of photojournalism in the region, Noor Ali Rashid (1929 -2010) amassed a collection of over a million images during his six decades of capturing the ordinary moments and the extraordinary events in the history of the region. Lasting Impressions offers a fresh perspective on Noor Ali Rashid's lifetime of achievements by drawing upon both, iconic and never before seen images. Through his lens, we see the growth of the UAE from the days of the Trucial States to Federation in 1971. This is the definitive collection of his work. Reflecting upon the retrospective of her late father's work, Shamsa Noor Ali Rashid said, "Our father dedicated his life to the country, to its leaders and its people. Preserving his lifetime of work was not only his wish but also our privilege and responsibility. At the Noor Ali Rashid Archives, we have dedicated significant resources and worked diligently for the last five years to preserve his work so that it can be enjoyed by all, for generations to come".
