This week we're sharing portraits from @gulfphotoplus's current exhibition Constructing Portraits as part of our #MENAstories series.
The Gulf Photo Plus team with the help of volunteers took studio portraits of over 250 workers at their camp over the Eid weekend and provided them with professional prints. They also asked them several questions related to their hopes and aspirations; answers were then paired with their portraits and exhibited at the GPP gallery in Dubai.
The idea is to move beyond the boundaries of nationality, language and job title in order to unite the diverse and often divided communities that call Dubai home, to strip away assumed differences, and to recognize our similarities.
This is Mohamad Ekram, a 26 year old Electrician from India. When asked who his greatest hero is, he said his younger brother because he is educated.
The exhibition featuring all 250 portraits is showing at the GPP gallery in Dubai until Sep 5th.
