He pointed out that since its debut last year, the International Photography Festival hosted by Sharjah Government Media Bureau, the media and communication arm of the Sharjah government, has been attracting global attention and recognition and has achieved qualitative results, supporting the local and international photography sector and asserting its importance in the cultural, media and social spheres.
Sharjah's maiden International Festival of Photography celebrated both the Press photography and creative art, exhibiting the work of some of the finest practitioners of the art as well as giving opportunity to amateur enthusiasts.
Setting new trends and creating new benchmarks in the region, XPOSURE 2016 drew the participation of some of the greatest names in the field of photography.
