Friday the 13th - not always a bad day

These pictures were taken with the first rays of sun on Friday the 13, 2009. Without time to apply for an official location approval - needed e.g. for a helicopter flight around the Burj - we decided to check into the luxurious The Address Downtown Burj Dubai hotel. With the help of a friendly Scotsman we were then able to get the shoot we wanted.
To be published as a 4-page fold-out panorama in the next issue of IMPULSE magazine, a business monthly by Gruner & Jahr publishing house (whose portfolio includes Financial Times Deutschland and STERN). Can't decide which version we like better - color or bw?

Moscow Never Sleeps ... and Dubai??

On November 7, the Moscow Motion party on The Palm in Dubai saw Russians and expats alike having a good time. DJ Smash, Gorod 312 and Russian music sensation Emin performed on a stage set on a private beach in front of the magnificent Atlantis hotel. Dress code was glamorous (which excluded local Arab dresses). More photos for viewing and purchase you find in our vast photo agency archive (click here and login with "motion")
