Many people like to go to the mountains to watch the sea of ??clouds and enjoy the magnificent and ever-changing natural scenery. But can you imagine that in Dubai, a city known as the place where money is made, there are also those high-rise buildings surrounded by clouds and mist? ?Through the lens of Chinese-French photographer Daniel Cheong, we can see the other side of the rich world of Dubai, which is as beautiful as the city in the sky.
On days when the temperature difference between seasons changes greatly, heavy fog will appear in Dubai. The fog in mid-air separates the high altitude from the ground like clouds. Looking down from the building, the fog covers the city like a sea of ??clouds.
Because there are no mountains around Dubai, the building has become the best base to capture the cloud-covered city. In addition, the photographer needs to be extremely patient to wait for the best weather conditions to appear.
Daniel Cheong, who is good at taking pictures of urban landscapes, has spent many years on the 70th to 90th floors of various buildings in order to master the natural factors such as temperature, humidity, and sunshine to take the best photos, as well as the technical conditions such as post-production or shooting locations. Experiment with photography to find the best shooting spots.
In the photography presented by Daniel Cheong, in Dubai, which is covered by thick fog, only buildings with particularly prominent heights, such as the Burj Khalifa, have the opportunity to appear above the clouds and fog. Buildings with no roots on the ground seem to be built on the ground. The city in the sky above the clouds.
In the photo, the light shining through the sea of ??clouds is like a dramatic scene. The modern buildings above the clouds and fog are like the dreamy wonderland city in science fiction movies. Whether the towering luxury buildings are covered by clouds or not, they still remain the legend of Dubai. The mystique of Middle Eastern cities.
