It’s a man’s World: A Day at the Raffles Moroccan Penthouse

Our photo shoots are known to be unconventional or controversial, while always respecting the world we live in. In this era of social and imagery, we try to reflect our lifestyle from real life into still shoots, where we share a jet set life with information about fashion, destinations, watches and cigars.

All that made me call for a gathering at one of the most iconic hotels in the city with its pyramidical exterior shape, and its interior Egyptian look and feel, all the way to our royal Moroccan suite. Yes, if you didn’t guess yet, it is the Raffles Hotel.

Adel, Khalid, Paul, Adrian, and Hassan shows up, with the best from Hublot Watches, Chanel, Maîtres du Temps, H. Moser & Ci, John Lobb, Louis Vuitton, Mont Blanc, and The Monsieur Fox.

Again, where it all started, the Raffles Hotel Dubai, Ambassador “Moroccan” Suite.

Late afternoon back in the living and dining room…

Around sunset, we went back to the living room to enjoy the warm gold colors of the Dubai skyline.

The Director’s Cut

One of my inspirational and favourite directors is Alfred Hitchcock. Along with the Bomberg Skull, that is where the director’s cut was inspired from in this shoot.
