Yaman clinched the second position in the Portfolio (Storytelling) category of the awards, in a ceremony held at the Dubai Opera House on Thursday.
The images titled, Aftermath of earthquakes in Türkiye, captured the southeastern Hatay province, which was severely affected by the devastating Feb. 6 tremors.
Under the patronage of Dubai's crown prince Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this year's theme of the annual HIPA contest was Diversity. The other three categories were General, Portfolio and Digital Art.
Besides, there were three special awards: Photography Appreciation Award, Photography Content Creator Award, and Emerging Person/Organisation in Photography Award.
