Catalin Marin is an architectural, interior and lifestyle photographer based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

He collaborates with clients from all over the world to photograph their projects and showcase them in the best light possible. He has provided creative imagery for clients like Marriott, Sheraton, Samsung, Ericsson, Kempinski, Virgin Australia, Emirates and his work was featured in various international magazines, books and websites including Mondo*ARC, ARC – Lighting in Architecture, Geo Magazine, BBC Travel, Lonely Planet Middle East and Time Out.

Recent work includes the Bvlgari Hotel Dubai, W Hotel The Palm, New York University Abu Dhabi campus and Qasr Al Watan (the Abu Dhabi Presidential Palace).

Catalin Marin has been based in Dubai for the past 15 years and for close to 20 years in the Gulf so the fast changes that are happening around the Middle East are nothing new to him.

Having worked with clients and agencies from across the Arab world, Catalin has a love for photographing the people of the region and their daily lives – sometimes driving luxury cars and sometimes entering their camels in beauty competitions.
