The Quiet Getaway – Ounass

Capturing Elevated Style: Michelle Hay Management and Ounass

Michelle Hay Management recently collaborated with Ounass, providing a fashion photographer for their "Live Without Compromise" summer campaign, a stunning showcase of menswear and womenswear shot across two iconic locations—The Lana, Dorchester Collection, Dubai and The Chedi, Al Bait, Sharjah. The campaign focused on evoking a sense of tranquility and luxury, blending the elegance of high-end fashion with the serene, architectural beauty of both venues​.

Photographer: Bachar Srour

For this shoot, Michelle Hay Management brought in Bachar Srour, a renowned Lebanese photographer known for his candid, raw style. Bachar’s work spans prominent fashion editorials, with features in L’Officiel and campaigns for major brands like Harvey Nichols​. His ability to capture both the natural beauty of the locations and the sophisticated styling of the models was crucial to the success of this campaign.

Bachar’s photography seamlessly blended the modern luxury of The Lana with the traditional elegance of The Chedi, Al Bait. His use of light and space showcased the effortless style of Ounass’ collection, reflecting both the calming energy of a quiet summer getaway and the architectural brilliance of each location.

The Campaign: The Quiet Getaway

The campaign embodied the essence of a peaceful summer escape, focusing on serene moments in luxurious, outdoor settings and elegantly designed interiors. Whether framed by The Lana’s modern architecture or The Chedi’s refined, traditional aesthetics, the visuals brought together fashion and architecture in a way that felt both calming and elevated.
