Al Awadhi is:
- President Of Emirates Photography Society.

- Board of Trustees Of Sheikh Mansour Photography Competition.
- Team Leader at Young Eager Steps Group.
- Member of Photography Society of America.
- Member of Emirates Fine Art Society.
Out of this talent, he was able to establish a unique career!
Al Awadhi visited Abu Dhabi International School (AIS) last Wednesday with us; as part of the Why Not? Campaign team. He met the boys of Grade 11 and was able to inspire them through speaking about his personal experience; how he got to where he is now. Also, showing them photos he personally took and even a "behind-the-scenes" look into how he shoots and sort of equipment he uses.
Below is a video illustrating a line he said, which we totally agree with:
We picked 5 students to go to Phase 3 and represent AIS by creating a feature of an Emirati talent who portrays our objective. They are:
- Abdulla Al Hashimi
- Fares Al Mazrouei
- Hamad Al Zarouni
