Photojournalists spend most of their time trying to compose photos that give context to their subjects, so that the person's story is in some way represented in the frame. But sometimes, stepping to one side, and observing one element without the context of the other, you see something very different and wonderful. Here, staff photographer Jaime Puebla shows us the modern dance that tourists perform when posing with landmarks in the background of their pictures, in this case the unseen Burj Al Arab.
