King Abdullah Road

Project details

• Clients: Ar Riyadh Development Authority.

• Architect: Gevers Landscape Architecture LTD., 

• Location: King Abdullah Road, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

One of my professional photography projects in 2014 was for the Riyadh Development Authority (ADA), which is now the Royal Commission Of Riyadh City (RCRC). A 12 km-long King Abdullah Road was designed by Gevers Landscape Architects LTD.

A redesign of the road was made, adding landscaping and creating public open spaces. My task was to showcase each open landscape design area within its features: the red gate frame, outdoor furniture, water features, light design, pedestrian borders, and materials in each road cross, which includes eight, in addition to the in-between road views.

Also, it was necessary to take the shots during holidays to avoid showing people in the images and for privacy.

I used the “Long Exposure” in some shots of my photoshoot to avoid distractions in the shot, create dynamism in the image itself, and make the water feature smoother.
