Heritage Photography & Creative Direction

Crafting visual narratives with cultural precision, rooted in UAE's rich heritage and unique environment.

Led By Artists

Firstimage.ae is an artist-led visual studio based in the UAE, specializing in heritage-focused photography, art direction, and cultural product design. We work with institutions, developers, and cultural producers to create original visual work that is rooted in place and purpose.

We develop original photographic work, provide art direction & consultancy, and design heritage-based products for institutions, museums, and public environments. Our projects include cultural events direction, public programs, interiors, and custom heritage products.

What We Do

Our projects are grounded in observation and cultural context. We look closely at how people live, the traditions that endure, and details that often go unnoticed. Every project is built from scratch, tailored to its environment and purpose. Our goal is to produce work that has depth and holds meaning, not just attention.
