The Story Behind The Image - Dubai Symmetry

Whilst on location in Dubai I was asked to photograph a shopping mall but was hampered by not being able to use a tripod and also aware to avoid showing the general public.

Looking for a creative angle I saw a potentially dramatic shot from the top of the escalator, but needed to be discreet. After setting the camera for focus, exposure and a 2 second delay. I waited until the right moment to make my way down. I popped the camera over the handrail and balanced it on a ridge, I took 2 steps back, picked up the camera and no-one was any the wiser!

I love the feeling of space and symmetry in this shot, it worked perfectly to illustrate a magazine feature.
