Dubai by night

Dubai looks just as, if not more, impressive in the dark as it does during the day because everything lights up, and I mean everything! So these are some photos from our night time adventures which I have inventively called "Dubai by night." If you missed my "Dubai by day" post from last week you can click here to see it.

P9 shoot 1

For this module we had to write our own brief. I started with one idea that wasn't really going anywhere so almost half way through the module I went back to the objects I photographed for my summer project. As I tried to develop the idea I started to think more about the gifts that were given to members of my family from friends or other family members who have travelled abroad as I think it says something very special about the relationship for the giver to be in another country and still thinking about somebody back at home.

At this point I was still keen on incorporating some sort of paper construction, as I had really enjoyed creating my paper silhouettes for my final module last year, and so I started trying to think about other things that can be associated with travel that I could make to photograph with the objects (I did buy a globe as I can imagine that to attempt to make one out of paper would have been a challenge!). I'll admit, I'm not overly pleased with how these were working but it was important for me to try it out and see.

Dubai by day

For the past year my dad has been living and working in Dubai. Just before Christmas my brother and I went to visit him. Although it's not the type of place I would have chosen for a holiday it was a great experience to have had as I saw some amazing sights, met some lovely people and ate some fantastic food! I took so many photographs that there were too many for one post so I've split them into three starting with Dubai by day.
