The Needle

A collection for Ciel Tower, the world's tallest hotel.With the main images for The full moon sits perfectly inside the crown, as if the building was designed to frame it. The 365-metre tower rises through the centre of the image, its illuminated spine drawing the eye upward until the moon appears held in place by the architecture itself. The alignment is real, calculated from lunar charts and executed from a position chosen weeks in advance. The image reduces one of Dubai Marina's most complex structures to a single vertical gesture: a needle threading the moon.
