This is the last portrait we'll be sharing from @gulfphot

This is the last portrait we'll be sharing from @gulfphotoplus's current exhibition Constructing Portraits, which we've been featuring this week as part of our #MENAstories series.
This is Amit Dawarika and Mikee Raj, two brothers from India. When we asked Amit what his greatest achievement was, he said it was building and owning his own house back home, which he achieved by working since he was 13.
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.
The exhibition featuring all 250 portraits is showing at the GPP gallery in Dubai until Sep 5th.
