Luke Brouwers Photography Burj Khalifa Dubai UAE 2019
Images which I took of the Burj Khalifa and converted to B&W. A difficult building to photograph just because of the sheer height and you are not allowed to use a tripod in the vicinity of the building. Decided to use a zoom lens and capture certain parts of the building except for the one with the dandelion sculpture, here I used a 10-20mm wide angle.

About Me
Photography is an art medium that speaks to me the most as an outlet for my creativity. I especially love landscape and architectural photography. Landscape photography gives one time to think, discover and create. It gives me great pleasure to find silence, solitude, simplicity and sometimes coincidence and surprises in nature.
Over the years I have discovered I am naturally draw to black and white (B&W) images, especially in B&W architecture. The biggest reason, other than the timeless appeal of B&W, lies in the fact that B&W architectural photography, by its nature, gives me more freedom to depart from the visual reality. Therefore, for me, the joy of being creative comes from identifying the underlying beauty and potential from a more visible and obvious colour reality, then transforming it to a black and white vision. This holds true for landscape photography as well.
My use of natural light, tonal contrast, colour, texture, and movement are the qualities I look for when I am out there and what makes my images unique. Through my images, I want to offer the world my perspectives and express my connections with the subjects that I capture.
Excellent, Luke! You’ve set a very high bar. To have your shots considered for the Awards, or even a Pro Critique, please post them individually. I know it’s a hassle, but we wouldn’t want you to miss out on getting credit for your work!
