BECAUSE pictures never change but people do, many youth are falling in love with the idea of saving their memories through photography.

Several youth in the Kingdom have inspired us with their work and some of them are always trying to teach us a lesson or send a message but with an inspiring twist.

Many of these artists succeeded in spreading their creative work in the visually focused platforms; therefore, Saudi Gazette choose four Instagram accounts of photographers that are telling special stories and presenting a new social concept through their posts.
