We're sharing a portrait a day from @gulfphotoplus's current exhibition Constructing Portraits this week for #MENAstories
Meet Giresh, a 30 year old plumber from India. When asked what his greatest achievement in life is, he said competing at state level in Kalari, an ancient form Indian martial art.
For Constructing Portraits, 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.
