His most recent video, which dropped this week, explores all parts of Abu Dhabi, from the city to the track to the dunes.

Edited by New York City-based Jake Irish and set to a soundtrack from the two-brothers band Two Lanes, "Sandscape" visits Abu Dhabi's vast environment from an aerial perspective.
