Xposure International Photography Festival in Sharjah 2024 - my video on YouTube now

I edited and posted my 10 minute video from the 

Xposure International Photography Festival in Sharjah, UAE, on YouTube:

https://youtu.be/C2WYTLH_I4w?si=ticKneHepkGUiNJQ

I was able to squeeze in only a part of the over 90 exhibitions but I hope it gives the viewer an idea about this amazing photo festival, in its 8th year and still fairly unknown in the US but gaining momentum fast. Festival director Simon Newton and his wonderful team are working tirelessly to make this huge photography event a wonderful experience for visitors, exhibitors and lecturers alike. I am so glad I was invited (and received the Global Focus Project Award for ”Keep Going New York !!“) to this unforgettable event. See for yourself here

Reflecting Dubai

 

I was invited to the amazing Xposure International Photography Festival in Sharjah, UAE, in March where I received the Global Focus Project Award for a photography project of mine. I used the occasion to shoot a new project in nearby Dubai resulting in the following magazine style brochure:

REFLECTING DUBAI: 

a magazine style portfolio of 10 photographs by award winning photographer Stefan Falke. 

Using a hand held mirror the photographer invites distant buildings or situations into the main photo. The reflection either adds additional information about nearby structures and visuals that could otherwise not be shown in the same frame or it makes the image more compelling by urging the viewer to have a second look in order to understand the photograph. They also show how much creative fun Falke has making these photos of city sceneries with a new visual approach.  

Print, premium brochure, 24 Pages, 11" x 8.5"
