Khalil Raad (Arabic: خليل رعد, 1854–1957) was a photographer who was known as "Palestine's first Arab photographer."[1] His works include over 1230 glass plates, tens of postcards, and as yet unpublished films that document political events and daily life in Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria over the course of fifty years.
