Sharjah24: Xposure's narrative of facial histories captures fleeting moments and hidden truths. The graphic expressions, which remain alluring despite the inevitable erosion of personal features over time, hint at stories that have been lost to the annals of history and set our imaginations free; consequently, we spin elaborate tales about them, leaving us to ruminate on the mysteries of their identities.

Participating in the events of the seventh edition of the International Photography Festival " Xposure 2023," American photographer Joel Grimes revealed that he had been drawn to the world of art and creativity, including painting and wood carving, ever since he was a child. This fascination eventually developed into a passion, which led Grimes into the field of professional portrait photography.

Grimes is showing a portfolio of his own creative photos at "Xposure 2023," the seventh annual International Photography Festival.
