During a nighttime walk along Dubai's coastline, I was captivated by the impressive spectacle of light and architecture unfolding before me. The water was calm and reflected the twinkling skyline like a living painting. The city, already fascinating during the day, transforms into something almost magical at night. Each building seemed to tell its own story, illuminated by thousands of lights that twinkled like stars in the night.
I decided to capture this moment. Not in a hurry, but with attention to detail, to balance, to atmosphere. The coolness of the night, the gentle rushing of the water and the distant sound of the city combined to form a serene backdrop for this shot. It was a moment of wonder and calm at the same time.
This photo is more than a skyline-it is a reminder of how small you can feel in the face of something big, but also how big something becomes when you look at it with attention. Whether you love modern cities, night atmospheres or simply images that tell stories, this work brings a piece of Dubai to your wall, with all the mystique and splendour this city has to offer.
