Are you more indoor or outdoor for taking a drink? The same place, and two different ambiances, it’s possible. As usual, it’s a pleasure to collaborate with the Habtoor Palace for this photoshoot, as I discovered this hidden treasure on the side of the hotel.

Why do I like photographing the Emaar hotels, and specially the Address ones? Ok, first at all, I’m going to say something so strange, but the parfum you can smell in every hotel of the group is just a dream. I admit, it’s not about hotel photography itself.

Although it’s an impressive structure both inside and out, photographing it can be tricky if you don’t know where to focus […]

One of the questions I get asked most often as an architectural photographer in Dubaï is, How does an average day go for you? Well, there really isn’t an average day because my job requires so much travel, which means every day brings something new and exciting to capture. But let me share with you […]
