A galaxy of 32 star photographers from around the world will converge at Xposure 2017, the international photography exhibition that begins on Wednesday.

The four-day event will showcase award-wining images, reflecting different aspects of life as people live across the globe as well as the imaginary world that we can only see through the lenses.

Whether you are a seasoned professional, an enthusiastic shutter bug, or someone with a keen interest in images and their influence, the annual will offer an image for everyone to reflect upon.

Being held at the Expo Centre Sharjah, the region’s leading photography exhibition will see internationally-acclaimed photographers sharing their expertise to help those in the region who seek to engage better with the world around them through their cameras.

If you are the one in pursuit of ‘Captivating Stories’, the theme of the festival this year, the Xposure is the place for you to be.

Some of the leading photographers in attendance include: Mohammad Muheisen who is a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist, multi-award winning photographer specialising in sports and action pictures, Bob Martin as well as Sir Don McCullin, who is one of the most celebrated newspaper photographers of our age.

The festival will run until Saturday from 10am to 7.30pm, except on Friday when the event will start at 3pm.
