Creative Notes

From the moment that I first laid eyes on this brilliant and towering hotel, I knew that I had to photograph it. Rising like a crystal silo towards the night sky, wrapped by glowing rooms and two towers, it has a powerful yet elegant presence.

Technical Notes

Taking this photograph with a friend was really fun. Dashing madly through traffic, I was looking upward, trying to find the right angle. Luckily it put us in the middle of a lush green park instead of the intersection which would have made taking the photograph more difficult.
