Architectural photographer working across Sharjah — the cultural capital of the UAE. The emirate's investment in heritage, the arts, and Arabic culture produces a distinct kind of architecture, and two of the most internationally recognised commissions in the portfolio are here: the House of Wisdom by Foster + Partners, and Diwani House, a residence built around Arabic calligraphy.
Sharjah's architecture is shaped by culture before commerce. Cultural institutions, museums, libraries, and heritage-led residential projects form a larger share of the work here than anywhere else in the UAE. Photographing them requires an understanding of the ideas behind the building — the calligraphy, the light, the relationship to Arabic and Islamic design traditions — not just its surfaces.
That cultural depth is exactly where an architect's reading of a building matters most. The work in Sharjah leans toward the institutional and the artistic, and the photography is made to carry that weight.
The House of Wisdom — designed by Foster + Partners, with lighting by Delta Lighting Solutions — received the Architizer A+ Award for Best Architectural Photography, and the work was licensed by both Foster + Partners and Delta Lighting Solutions.
Diwani House, a residence by Shape Architects whose facade is a Kufic-script Quranic inscription across 80 pieces of stone, won the Architizer+ Award and the Loop Design Award and was published widely across international and Arabic press.
