Apocalyptic Aerial Photos of the Desert Swallowing the Emirates (23 Photos)
Rarely does anyone have the opportunity to witness the confrontation between nature and man, but for the UAE this phenomenon is not uncommon. Australian photographer Airenis Hirok, in his surreal works, captured how the desert is slowly swallowing up roads and settlements in the Emirates. However, the desert territory continues to be developed at incredible speed. Thus, Dubai has transformed from an unremarkable port city into a metropolis in just a few decades.
Irenis Hirok lives in Sydney, Australia, but travels widely around the world. With a background in design and fine art, he specializes in landscape and portrait photography, drawing inspiration from masterpieces of painting and cinema. His work incorporates both traditional and contemporary aspects, balancing technical precision with his own unique aesthetic.
Hirok's photographs can be seen in publications such as 212, Don't Take Pictures, Spiegel, Vice, Wired, NewScientist, VanityFair, TravelBook, and TheGuardian.
