You’ve hopefully come to realise that one of the unique selling points that we have here at crankandpiston is our pictures. To us quality automotive culture and information needs to be interspersed with copious amounts of stunning colour to bring any story/post to life.

One of our other passions is finding guys such as Tareq Zakrya Abuhajjaj. Tareq is based in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and he is a man after our own heart. At the ripe age of 25 years young, he is already producing stunning images that take us on a journey through automotive culture in the Kingdom.

We couldn’t help ourselves when we stumbled across his work recently… so after a couple of emails and a Facebook chat later, we bring to you a beautiful collection of his work and some insight into what sparked the love affair with taking photos:

I continue to hone my skills and started to specializing in car photography.

What are your passions?
