I’ve always enjoyed returning to product photography. During my years working with Esquire, where I photographed a wide range of products, I developed a deep appreciation for nuanced lighting setups and the meditative precision that product shoots demand.
Shot for Eye’M for Magrabi, this commercial series represents my full end-to-end execution in collaboration with the creative team at Plastik Magazine.

Commissioned for a 3–4 minute mini-documentary titled “A Day in the Life of a Hand Model” for Discovery Digital Networks, director Dania Bdeir invited me to conceptualize and produce a photographic narrative centered on a hand model.

For the project, I developed a visual concept portraying the hands as a solitary tree within a mountain landscape, captured across four distinct times of day. I personally crafted the miniature landscape, designed and executed the lighting, and completed the post-production.

The shoot featured renowned hand model Ellen Sirot and fine jewelry provided by Ellagem NY. The resulting imagery became a central visual element of the film.
