Photographer Spotlight: Gonzalo Palavecino

In his series “Old Dubai”, Chilean photographer Gonzalo Palavecino captures a portrait of Dubai that reveals a side we don’t see as much. The city, known for its ostentatious displays of wealth, appears much quieter here. Love the way Palavecino frames his findings, paring everything down to very flat simple shapes.
