Following the success of the first creative conference initiated by -ING,
an organization based in Dubai that coordinates design events,
we were asked to develop a series of photos that would act as
the foundation of the 2016 conference campaign.
We referred back to the 2015 campaign imagery which featured
dynamic exploding colours against open natural landscapes
true to the region’s location. These elements of bold vibrant colours,
surreal compositions and natural backdrops were visual characteristics
we aimed to connect through to this succeeding conference.
The photos were captured in settings that resonate with the region and
local residence. We Identified authentic landscapes - avoiding typical
touristic Dubai spots and opting for boundless sand-dunes
and mountainous barrens. A colourful selection of sheen fabrics were
adopted for the photos that involved hundreds of attempts in throwing
fabrics up in the air to capture a large spectrum of dynamic shapes and forms.
The final images are a result of multiple takes layered in surreal compositions.
