Wake Dubai athlete on the water

Brand Content, 2025

WAKEDUBAI

Premier wakeboarding and wakesurfing content across Dubai's iconic harbors.

(05) / Overview

Wake Dubai runs luxury towboat experiences across the UAE. The content needed to feel fast, sun-soaked, and unmistakably Dubai.

I produced a large still library and vertical reel suite covering athletes, boats, skyline backdrops, and campaign graphics.

The visual system had to work at thumbnail scale and full-bleed: bold colour, clean type, and motion that sells the ride.

Concept

Ride the skyline

Water, wake, and city edge became the triangle: every frame ties the sport to place.

Campaign graphics sit inside the same warm palette as the photography so social tiles feel continuous, not pasted on.

Process

From shoot to social

High-volume on-water production, fast select, grade, and delivery tuned for social cadence.

    Brief

    Art Direction

    Wake Dubai needed a system, not a shoot: athletes, boats, skyline, and campaign graphics all speaking the same language.

  2. 02

    Production

    Sony A7IV

    High-volume days on the water covering action, lifestyle, and branded moments before the light ran out.

  3. 03

    Curation

    Editorial Selection

    Social moves fast. I built selects that worked at thumbnail scale and still held up full bleed.

  4. 04

    Post

    Adobe Suite

    Bold colour and clean contrast across stills and graphics so tiles felt continuous, not pasted together.

  5. 05

    Motion

    DaVinci Resolve

    Reels assembled and graded for launch cadence, timed to match the still library and campaign banners.
