Spice Photography was founded by Marc Abou Jaoude — a Lebanese photographer who began shooting in Beirut and built a practice that now spans two of the region’s most competitive markets: Dubai and Lebanon.

Marc is a HIPA award winner. HIPA — the Hamdan International Photography Award — is one of the most prestigious photography competitions in the world. It is not a participation trophy. Winning it means your work stood against tens of thousands of entries from professional photographers globally. That is the standard Spice Photography brings to every commission.

The studio specialises in commercial photography across food and beverage, fashion, product, and lifestyle. The client list includes Four Seasons, Hublot, Jägermeister, UNICEF, World Vision, Cask & Barrel, Pearl & Rubies, and Meat the Fire — brands that operate at the top of their categories and expect imagery to match.

Working between Beirut and Dubai is not just a logistical convenience — it is a genuine dual-market capability. The studio understands the visual language of Gulf commercial photography and the creative energy of the Levant. That combination is rare, and it shows in the work.

If you are a brand, agency, or hospitality group looking for a commercial studio that has proven itself at an international level — we’d like to hear about your project.
