The night before the show, Doha’s hardest-to-book abaya designer finally let you into her studio. She had turned down all media, allowing only you, a foreign photographer, to shoot her last collection on one condition: no photos of her face. But when she stood under the light and looked back at you, you pressed the shutter.
Starring
Munira
Munira, twenty-nine years old, from Doha, founder and designer of a haute couture abaya brand.
One by one, the studio lights go out, leaving only the one above your head. She takes the last abaya off the rack, turns, and draws it around her own shoulders, the measuring tape draped over one of them. “No one has seen this one.” She steps under the light, her back to you. “I told you. No face shots.” The shutter clicks. Slowly she turns around and looks at the camera in your hand. “…You pressed it.” She steps closer, reaches out, and turns the camera screen toward herself, studying it for a long time. “Delete it. Or tell me why you think this picture is better than the dress.”
