January 12, 2026•1 Minutes

Shoayb Khattab, in collaboration with Xposure International Photography Festival, is hosting a hands-on architectural photography workshop at one of Sharjah’s iconic landmarks. The session is designed to help participants create expressive, portfolio-ready architectural images, combining practical techniques with creative exploration. Seats are very limited, making this an intimate and inspiring experience.

The workshop, “Shaping Light. Framing Space. Capturing Soul,” will explore how architecture, light, and human presence come together to form powerful, intentional photographs. Over four hours, participants will experience the full process from concept to final edit through three connected modules.

  • Pre-Production: Planning, composition, and lighting strategies, focusing on how every choice shapes the mood and story of an image.

  • Production: A guided hands-on shoot with a professional model, using natural light and flash. Participants will learn to frame spaces thoughtfully, direct the model, and respond creatively to changing conditions.

  • Post-Production: Refining images in Photoshop, covering tonal adjustments, colour balance, and subtle retouching to strengthen narrative and atmosphere.

This workshop is ideal for intermediate and advanced photographers familiar with camera settings, flash, and basic Photoshop. Participants should bring a camera, tripod, and two or three lenses ranging from wide-angle to short telephoto.
