Recently, as part of an extensive campaign for Strawberry Frog, New York, Christopher Wilson had the opportunity to shoot Capital Gate and Etihad Towers in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.

In a city known for its vertical outlandishness and neck-craning beauty, there may not be a skyscraper more outlandish than Capital Gate (pictured above). Known as the Leaning Tower of Abu Dhabi, it was constructed intentionally to incline eighteen degrees – versus the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which only tilts five-and-a-half degrees as the result of an unintentional poor foundation. As the result, Guinness World Records certified Capital Gate as the world’s “farthest manmade leaning building.”
