The Vision
"In this series, Mohamed Elnadry explores the vibrant intersection of automotive heritage and urban contemporary culture. Captured during the Icons of Porsche 2025 festival at the Dubai Design District (d3), these frames transcend traditional automotive photography. Instead of merely documenting machines, Elnadry focuses on the emotion, motion, and architectural synergy between the legendary Porsche silhouettes and the iconic Dubai skyline."
Artistic Narrative & Technical Innovation
"The project is a visual study of contrast and kinetic energy. Mohamed Elnadry moves beyond the static nature of car photography by utilizing advanced Long-Exposure techniques and intentional camera movement. By experimenting with shutter speeds, Elnadry breathes life into icons like the Carrera GT, creating an ethereal 'ghosting' effect that symbolizes speed in stillness. This technique transforms light into a fluid element, wrapping around the car's legendary form to tell a story of a brand that is always in motion, even when standing still."
Cinematic Color Grading & Aesthetic
"A signature element of Elnadry’s work is the meticulous Color Grading. The project features a sophisticated, cinematic palette dominated by Deep Teals and Electric Oranges, specifically designed to complement Dubai’s 'Night City' vibe. By balancing moody shadows with vibrant highlights, Elnadry enhances the metallic textures of the cars—from the raw industrial feel of the Taycan’s environment to the psychedelic, pop-art colors of the 911 Targa. The result is a high-contrast, fine-art approach where the grading serves to elevate the automotive subjects into pieces of visual art."
