I am not copying someone else’s art form, but just documenting it. My time in Amsterdam was limited and was upset by the constant rain. Well, did managed see few good graffiti on few places.

Fine art photography is where the camera literally becomes the paintbrush for the photographer. He slows the shutter speed; pans, turns and the results can always be fascinating and full of surprises.

Burj Khalifa, the icon of Dubai has been my subject of photography for many years. Every day when I drive past the tower I do take a moment to look at it with owes and respect. Each day I tried to read the message it gives out, some way trying to have communication with him.

This is the challenge of being a photographer, he has to wait and wait for the right elements to fall into place. When the clouds gave a rare appearance to the night sky one day, I was sure this is one such day I should make my attempt. To capture Burj Khalifa again to give that different interpretation I always wanted to give with my camera.
Here I present, now it is your job to interpret.

My cousin and our neighbour were having a little chat on the harvest. There is this beautiful rubber tree right in front of me and separating me and my subject. I focused on the tree to leave a little bit of mystery on them. To let the viewer wonder…
