Cityscape nominee

Dubai has been growing at a tremendous fast pace for the last 20 years or so and the old Acacia trees are being surrounded by huge skyscrapers. Although they are protected, it's very difficult for these trees to survive in the middle of construction areas.

My name is Catalin Marin and I am an award-winning photographer based in Dubai, UAE, specializing in architectural, hospitality and interior photography as well as corporate portraits and lifestyle images.

My background in design has given me a unique perspective and an eye for detail which has allowed me to work with top tier clients across the region, focusing on architectural and interior photography as well as lifestyle and advertising images. I have provided creative imagery for clients like Starwood, Samsung, Ericsson, Kempinski, Grand Hyatt, Virgin Australia, Emirates and many others.
