Full Swing
The Buraidha market, situated in central Saudi Arabia, is the world's largest and oldest camel market. The sheer number of animals and the chaotic atmosphere are no doubt overwhelming. But what particularly caught my eye was the unique method used to transport some of the camels.

About Artist
France Leclerc
Originally from Canada and now based in Chicago, USA, France Leclerc is a street and documentary photographer drawn to the quiet poetry of everyday life. After years spent in academia, studying human behavior, she turned to photography to explore the same questions with a different language—one of light, gesture and shared space. Her work, which she often described as “life photography’ seeks out the moments where people live, connect, worship, celebrate and endure. Increasingly, it is in the streets that she finds these moments. Her work has been exhibited in a number of venues, more recently at the Paris Prix de la Photographie (2023), the Lens Culture Exhibition in New York City (2024), the Brussels Street Photography Festival (2025), the Dublin Street Photography Festival (2025), the Women Street Photographers (2025) and the Siena International Photo Award festival (2025) and the American Center for Photographers (2025). Her images have been published in Geo Magazine (Germany), Dodho Magazine, Lens Magazine, and All About Photo Magazine.
