S A TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHER, I soak in a lot during my trips, as does my camera. While the business capitals of countries exhibit ample similarities, each one has a distinct look and feel that cannot be replicated-floor observation deck of the Empire State Building, a vast verdant stretch of Central Park opens up beyond that glitzy skyline and you realise NYC is so much more than its highrises. Meanwhile, Dubai, when seen from At The Top, an outdoor observation deck on the 124 floor of Burj Khalifa, betrays the sandy patches of its undeveloped real estate. To some, of course, that’s part of the city’s charm. It’s an oasis of luxury in the middle of a hostile landscape.
