Collaborating with Emerging Talents: A Fashion Shoot at Al Qudra Lakes
In my downtime, I find immense joy in collaborating with rising talents across various creative fields - be it fellow photographers, makeup artists, models, or musicians. One such collaboration was with the team at Dubai Fashion Network, where we worked with some bright, aspiring models. For this particular shoot, we ventured to Al Qudra Lakes, set in the serene desert of Dubai, to create a series of stunning images.
The Al Qudra Lakes provided an exceptional backdrop, beautifully styled and in perfect harmony with the natural surroundings. My work often takes me to diverse locations across the UAE, each offering its unique charm - from the raw beauty of deserted landscapes to the lush greenery of lakes and the grandeur of magnificent skyscrapers. However, the desert holds a special place in my heart. There’s something uniquely tranquil about its light and open air, which makes it an ideal setting for capturing compelling images.
The session at Al Qudra Lakes was not just about creating beautiful images; it was also an opportunity to aid these aspiring models in building their first portfolios. The UAE’s diverse landscape offers endless inspiration and a plethora of styles to suit any shoot. But it's the desert, with its serene ambiance and mesmerizing light, that often emerges as my favorite canvas for photography. The images from our recent trip to Al Qudra Lakes are a testament to the creative synergy of the team and the captivating allure of the location.
