paula was the first model to be photographed by our group during a fun shoot of camera club of dubai. i was invited by a colleague to give some pointers to their members. although glam and fash was not my cup of tea, i applied a few tricks and experience in portraiture. among the models, her costume was bright and joyful. the color pink would always be a happy one. i decided to challenge myself with a different mood yet with a little seduction.
the solution: location and lighting.

remember the top shot of the dome? that was a bottom section of one of the seven chandeliers of the sheikh zayed mosque. the main chandelier which sits in the central dome measuring 10m diameter and 15.25m in height and weighs 12 tonnes. it was the largest in the world (doha, qatar currently holds the record). these chandeliers are stylish, plated with copper and gold and decorated with 40-million different coloured swarovski crystals lighted by high-power leds.
