Architects and photographers Anna Devis and Daniel Rueda meet up with the man known as A French in Dubai on social media to compare notes on photography, and they all go on a helicopter ride to get a bird’s eye view of a city that’s bursting with buildings.

I wonder how much they pay this channel for these adverts
Bruh
Sponsored by Dubai tourism commission?
I’ve seen you before…. i remember the amazing name
wait but why these photographers rather than literally any other photographer? there doesn’t seem to be much special tbh
It’s an advertisement
Must be running short on cash. It’s amazing how little a company can be paid to sell out on everything they stand for.
When the sponser is Dubai i would say it’s not a few sums
GBS? 🤔😂😂
It would be nice to have a video from local Emiratis. Pretty much all videos on Dubai are from a foreigners point of view who only live there temporarily.
That’s because we foreigners make up 90% of the population. And not all of us are here for a short time, there is a significant population of non Emiratis that were born & raised here.
@Lan Duong exactly we never get to see the point of view of a Emirati only foreigners
2:18 her teeth tho
Dubai exists only because of fossil fuels, it’s kinda gross
@Quintuple s I’d rather go after the dealer rather than the user. And this isn’t west vs east or you’re completely ignoring Beijing, etc.
@username when you just look at it from the perspective that the economy started from fossil fuels, you will reach that opinion. In reality, the rulers of the UAE are very smart. They united and granted a high standard of living for their. They are building sculptures and skyscrapers to attract people, then build an economy based on this growing population. And who says that there are slaves? The UAE is the 20th most happiest country in the world according to the UN happiness report. Literally the labours here work and receive a payment, living, and rights. Heck, since the UAE is very hot, they’re always provided with free food and air conditioning. The truth is, this place is amazing, unlike a lot of countries in our world, but people dont do their research and learn about this country. They just judge based on what media says and wat they see for moments 🙂
@MyntBubbleGum Uh, yeah, jailing and deporting people for kissing… great country you got there
@Impelled do you live in Dubai? Then all the evidence of Dubai’s slavery is probably censored. I urge you to get a VPN and then search up slavery in Dubai.

Companies in Dubai have in the past been criticised for human rights violations against labourers.[83][84][85] Some of the 250,000 foreign labourers in the city have been alleged to live in conditions described by Human Rights Watch as “less than humane”.[86][87][88][89] The mistreatment of foreign workers was a subject of the difficult-to-make documentary, Slaves in Dubai (2009).[90] The Dubai government has denied labour injustices and stated that the watchdog’s (Human Rights Watch) accusations were ‘misguided’. The filmmaker explained in interviews how it was necessary to go undercover to avoid discovery by the authorities, who impose high fines on reporters attempting to document human rights abuses, including the conditions of construction workers. Towards the end of March 2006, the government had announced steps to allow construction unions. UAE labour minister Ali al-Kaabi said: “Labourers will be allowed to form unions.”[91]
what a sell out channel…..for few money you will sell out to anybody….lol
Neil Mathews few money ?? Can you eve speak English lol
@Night Fury its good this video is not about English fluency……lol
@afrenchindubai WOOOWWW AMAZING MAN!!!
This is not great big story this is a great big advertisement. Granted that’s what the channel usually is but the feeling in this one hits harder than most.
So this guy takes pictures of buildings and models? And he doesn’t know whether he will still be a photographer in a couple of years? Inspiring.
Wow that’s one hell of a French accent!
And very proud of 🙂
@AFRENCHINDUBAI Même moi j’ai pas un accent comme ça quand je parle Anglais. :p
He’s French
oh wow, so inspiring… just rich hipsters
exactly
The real Great Big Story is that it’s a modern city built by slave labor. How unconscionable. This is about as inspiring as Trump’s Great Big Mouth.
Quintuple s wtf how can you turn a blind eye to modern slavery?
Quintuple s Paying wages that are below the cost of living, and keeping people in a cycle of poverty their entire lives is ethically wrong. If you wish to discuss free will, it goes both ways: it is also choice that developers make to pay this little. It is a choice to place such little value on another human life.
The moral dilemma is not that those seeking a better life fail to find it, because poverty to poverty isn’t a choice. The moral dilemma is why do developers continue to do this when they know that it’s wrong?
Could you please elaborate on what you feel the positive outcomes of this situation are?
@Quintuple s we are talking about modern city….not something 1000 years back…. Dubai which boast of such wealth should not keep labor in such inhumane conditions
@Quintuple s don’t blame other countries for your lack of basic human rights to these labours
@esmai get mad. arabs are rich. Dubai is the safest, richest, city with the tallest building and busiest airport and world class infranstrure
Why don’t you show those forced construction workers in Dubai?
Exactly!
there is way more stuff besides this
what about the underground music culture here?
the nerds and DnD groups?
the artists?
the local skateboarding groups?
there is so much here but you went for the most bare bones type of people
To be clear, this is an ad for Dubai, not the specific photographers. I don’t necessarily agree with the sellout comments but taking money from an authoritarian country is not on my book of ethical ideas…
Eshan Singh …yes! Thank you! 👏
Wait, those people can wear normal clothes in Dubai? I though people, especially women had to follow a dress code.
Lol if they do that all foreigners will go away and Dubai will come to a stand still….. Dubai survives because of expats
3:11 ok at least make the plane believable
I thought this video was an add
