Sharjah24: On the third day of the Xposure International Photography Festival, a vibrant exchange of ideas unfolded, focusing on enhancing photographers' skills across various levels. The Sharjah24 news website is dedicated to empowering photographers to capture breathtaking images, and this year it attracted the esteemed Ana María Arevalo-Gossen, a celebrated photojournalist and distinguished visual storyteller.
Ana María, a leader in her field and an educator, shared invaluable insights with intermediate photographers eager to refine their craft. “If I could give one piece of advice,” she stated passionately, “it would be to prepare your portfolio in a compelling way that tells a story filled with emotion and reflects your unique visual language.”
She emphasised the importance of authenticity, urging photographers not to imitate others but to discover what they truly love. “Find what you are most comfortable with and build your portfolio around that one story that you really, really love,” she advised, inspiring attendees to embrace their individuality and creativity.
As the festival continues to unfold, it promises to be a rich source of inspiration, encouraging photographers to explore new dimensions of their art and connect deeply with their narratives.
