Noura Al-Neyadi is an Emirati documentary photographer whose passion for using powerful imagery to tell stories has taken her all over the world, including the North Pole. Her latest project is Eye Stories. At the height of the pandemic, Noura documented the heroic journey of 148 frontline healthcare workers, zooming in only on their eyes. For over three weeks, she visited five COVID-19 testing tents in Al-Ain and Abu-Dhabi and witnessed them work daily. This project hit home for Noura, because her own mother works in healthcare. And like many others all over the world, she couldn’t see her for months. 

 

During Health and Wellness Week at Expo 2020 Dubai, Noura discussed the importance of photography as a tool to humanize those who may otherwise be just a number.
