Sela

A National Day campaign for Sela, from concept and casting to location and production.

The brief

For Sela, we built a National Day campaign from the ground up. The creative direction, the location and the casting were all ours to propose, each one pulled around the occasion.

How we shot it

The National Day cues stay restrained rather than decorative. Old plastered lanes, a wind tower and the UAE flag set the occasion, and the chocolates sit plainly in a gift box tied with twine and on dark trays. Once Sela signed off on the idea, we delivered it end to end.

National Day campaign production in the UAE

Sela’s National Day campaign covered creative direction, location scouting and casting before a single frame was shot, with the styling and photography built around the occasion. Photolicious is an Abu Dhabi food photography and film studio: food styling, product photography, videography and full campaigns for food brands in Dubai and across the UAE.
