OTB will always be an advocate for collaborating with people who share the same values as us. Values that we make sure are translated into the product we offer at AOTA.

Ariana reached out to us a few months ago after coming across the content we created for our Palestinian Keffiyeh Basketball. She DM’d our IG accounts and sent multiple emails expressing her eagerness to work with us. We were impressed by her persistence. 

The pictures in her portfolio immediately spoke to me. Her love for our proud Arabian culture was evident as was her admiration for the game of basketball. We felt that she understood the importance of creating art that not only told a story, but also had a universal message. In this case - the power of how photography can connect people back to their heritage. 

While in Kuwait, she was able to not only familiarize with the principles AOTA is built on, but also shoot a series with our Shemagh Basketball of which one of her photos landed on the front page of bazaargram .

Moral of this story:

When you have a gut feeling that is based on the positive rules of attraction - acknowledge this theory and act on it. It might just get you something equivalent to a front cover.
