ENTRY DESCRIPTION
These bridges cross a creek in Dubai and have only recently been constructed. When scouting for a new subject, I became attracted to the pillars that hold the road in position and the amount of detail that these structures hold. It was important to me that the image was balanced, so I composed the photograph so none of the pillars were obstructed. Looking at the image, you could be mistaken that Dubai is a ghost town on this particular day and if wasn't for the constant rumble of traffic from above it was a lonely place.

AUTHOR
I've always liked clean design, minimal modern art, simple compositions in landscape paintings, symmetry and balance. It always made sense to me that when composing a photograph, the image should be simplistic and uncluttered. This minimal style reflects a calm sense of mood which is my overall intention. I've always been more interested in shooting less recognisable locations as it adds more intrigue to the photograph, I'm also drawn to water, so you will see this appearing in much of my work. Beaches, lakes, oceans; they all hold photographic opportunities due to the changing reflective light, the movement and mood that water can produce with long exposures and the right conditions. I’ve visited places across the world such as Australia, USA, South Africa, UK, France, India, Italy, Greece, Jordan and Dubai where I currently reside. Each of these locations has influenced the evolution of my photographic style.
