The Legacy
One of the most meaningful projects in my career was the chance to photograph the architecture of Dubai Expo 2020 over the course of three years. It was a rare opportunity to closely engage with the pavilions’ design and detail, and to explore how architecture can reflect culture, innovation, and identity on a global stage.
This series celebrates the architectural innovations and cultural statements made at Expo 2020 Dubai. Each volume captures the striking fusion of design, engineering, and storytelling across pavilions, districts, and thematic zones. The books are built to inspire architects, designers, urbanists, and global citizens who value form, meaning, and vision.The work eventually led to a series of coffee table books published by Assouline in New York—an outcome I’m deeply grateful for.
This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the collective efforts of other talented photographers from the Expo 2020 Dubai media team, and the invaluable support of the Expo Dubai management. More than anything, the project reminded me of the value of patience, consistency, collaboration, and respect for the stories that buildings can tell.
