Louisa Sumagi and her family wanted to keep the last minute memories of a 12-year period they spent in Dubai, before returning to Australia.
They have lost their jobs in the tourism industry with the outbreaks of the emerging coronavirus, and in this case they have no other choice but to leave.
In a robe of white sunlight, the Paula Heine lens captures the touching moments of Sumagi, her husband and two children on the beach.
Heine offers free photo shoots of tens of thousands of expatriates leaving.
She says that most of those who were photographed are families of senior employees who have been laid off.
The photographer, whose activity slowed after the cancellation of weddings and the application of social spacing guidelines, provided 60 free photography sessions and plans to give 100 more sessions.
Expatriates comprise the majority of the UAE population, including Dubai. The stay of these is related to work.
Dubai, a regional center for tourism and business, has been hit hard by the epidemic. However, the authorities recently lifted the curfew and removed most restrictions, including allowing foreign visitors to enter as of July 7.
However, many expatriates have no choice but to leave after losing jobs, while uncertainty and uncertainty surround the future of some.
