thanks for your time

Answer
Lama,

Thanks for writing. Unfortunately, I don't know of any cinematography workshops in Dubai. You might try contacting your local film commission, or visit the American Society of Cinematographers website and see if they have someone whom you can contact that might lead you to the kinds of workshops you seek.

Good luck!
