“To be a landscape photographer is to be someone close to nature, and someone who really enjoys being outdoor, for me this is most important.”

Dany Eid is a photographer living in Dubai for over twelve years. Born in Lebanon, he left his home country for an expatriate life in various cities across the Middle East.

The changing canvas across the region, the passion for travel, the yearning for homeland – all these have greatly influenced his photography.

Dany began his journey into photography without formal training, starting when information was not readily accessible. In 2014, he made the decision to leave his executive career to pursue his passion.

Today, he makes a living from architectural photography while pursuing landscape photography as a hobby.

Dany works closely with many icons of the industry. He is a brand ambassador for Carl Zeiss and also an official photographer of Expo 2020 Dubai. Dany calls Dubai a creative hub for photographers, 

not only because of its architectural marvels but also due to the exposure to cosmopolitan talent and events.

In succeeding as a photographer, he believes that the right groundwork is even more important than technical perfection, because technical issues are easier to fix during editing.

Even more than the actual shooting, he underlines the process and cherishes the moments behind the making of these photos.
