    Dubai based Ashok Verma works as a senior photojournalist for a leading Arabic daily newspaper under Dubai Media Inc. With the changes in media platforms and boom in digital media Ashok started to learn video and video editing skills. Immense faith, intense dreams and an instinct to never give up, propelled him to make his space in the industry. From advertising and fashion photography, he turned his lens to photojournalism in 2007, which introduced him to Street Photography, which remains one of his preferred genres today. Ashok has been producing photography related videos for past two and a half years and releases at least one video every week on his YouTube channel to share whatever he has learned over the years.

    Giles Duley, documentary photographer and writer during his talk at Xposure 2021. Duley, who lost both his legs and an arm as he stepped on a land mine while on an assignment in Afghanistan in 2011, said: “As a photographer, I was always driven by curiosity. I wanted to know what lay beyond. Yesterday, I watched the news, and a photographer did exactly that. A photographer went to capture images never seen. That photographer was the Probe called Hope.” Duley congratulated the UAE on the incredible achievement of being only the fifth country in the world to have led a successful Mars mission.
