SONNET FORTY NINE, UK
Last week, Bournemouth University’s photography students put on their graduate exhibit at Hoxton Arches, London (UK).
The event, which we are a proud sponsor of, was a revelation of upcoming talent!
Our social media consultant Henna visited and was blown away by the commercial photography display, all of which were personal to the individual artists. It was refreshing to speak to the photographer’s about their vision and the journey throughout, which included travelling to places like Uzbekistan and our very own home, Dubai.
Check out our reel on our Instagram to have a look at some of the work!

According to our young entrepreneur : “The entire programme, which runs for eight weeks, goes hand in hand with the National Agenda for Entrepreneurship, aimed at establishing the UAE as an entrepreneurial nation by 2031.”
