Capturing a space is about more than just photographing walls and windows — it’s about translating a brand’s spirit into every frame.

From the quiet luxury of Jil Sander to the avant-garde elegance of Maison Margiela, we approach each storefront and interior with precision and a deep understanding of visual identity.

Documenting the arts and culture scene is the heartbeat of what we do. We’ve built a reputation for capturing installations and exhibitions in a way that feels natural, precise, and effective — no overworked edits, no missed details.

Spaces like 421, Alserkal Avenue, Ishara Art Foundation, Green Art Gallery, Jameel Arts Centre, Lawrie Shabibi, and more trust us because we understand the rhythm of a show, the weight of a room, and the moments that matter most — whether it’s a huge public installation or an intimate opening.

The Dreamers: Our Role in Capturing the Vision

The Doha Horticultural Expo was nothing short of inspirational, and at Seeing Things Studio, we had the privilege of collaborating with the Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation to bring innovation and imagination to the forefront: the UAE Pavilion, presenting “Nurturing Legacy”. 

The six-month long event convenes 80+ global participants around the theme “Green Desert, Better Environment,” co-hosted by the Bureau of International Expositions and the Association for International Horticulture Producers. “Nurturing Legacy” shares the story of the UAE’s dreamers and pioneers, tracing their innate ingenuity and agricultural legacy.

Produced by Yulia Piskuliyska, all hands were on deck to document the artistry, emotion, and vision that defined this experience. Here’s how we contributed to telling this story.

The Portraits

At the heart of the Pavilion’s narrative were the dreamers themselves: individuals whose creativity and passion are building upon the UAE’s story—we embarked on a journey across the Emirates to create a series of portraits representing them.

The Installation

The UAE Pavilion was a marvel in itself—a celebration of sustainability, technology, and heritage woven into stunning architectural and horticultural design. Our team was tasked with capturing this space. From the interplay of light and shadow to the intricate details of the installations, our photographers and videographers aimed to preserve the pavilion’s unique character. We highlighted the immersive environment, where visitors could truly experience the UAE’s vision for a greener, brighter future.

The Events

Throughout the expo, the pavilion hosted a variety of events centered around “The Dreamers.” From thought-provoking panels to textural workshops, each program was a testament to the UAE’s dedication to fostering dialogue and community. Our role was to document these moments with precision and care, ensuring the interactions, workshops, and special moments were captured in a way that conveyed their significance.

Telling the Story

We thrive on storytelling, and this project was no exception. With every portrait, event, and installation, we aimed to connect viewers to the pavilion’s ethos.

The Dreamers project underscored a hopeful vision—a commitment to sustainable innovation and a belief in the power of dreams to shape the future. We’re honored to have played a part in bringing that vision to life, ensuring it remains vivid and inspiring for years to come!
