"If you asked me to describe the Middle East, I would say it's a place full of warmth, culture, and love," says photographer Ali Al-Shehabi. "Unfortunately, the western media chooses to portray the region using established stereotypes. For example, the image of Dubai is often of super cars, high-tech, and luxury buildings. But there are so many more values that are far more important. I want my photos to show what the region is actually like."
Ali was born in Bahrain before his family moved to Dubai when he was a year old. After graduating from high school, the 24-year-old started a degree in petroleum engineering but soon dropped out and moved to Tokyo, where he studied art and media, before eventually majoring in photography.
