Reflecting Dubai

 

I was invited to the amazing Xposure International Photography Festival in Sharjah, UAE, in March where I received the Global Focus Project Award for a photography project of mine. I used the occasion to shoot a new project in nearby Dubai resulting in the following magazine style brochure:

REFLECTING DUBAI: 

a magazine style portfolio of 10 photographs by award winning photographer Stefan Falke. 

Using a hand held mirror the photographer invites distant buildings or situations into the main photo. The reflection either adds additional information about nearby structures and visuals that could otherwise not be shown in the same frame or it makes the image more compelling by urging the viewer to have a second look in order to understand the photograph. They also show how much creative fun Falke has making these photos of city sceneries with a new visual approach.  

Print, premium brochure, 24 Pages, 11" x 8.5"
