photographer
Dua Hamdi is a Dubai-based architectural and interior photographer whose practice bridges architectural expertise with refined visual storytelling. After earning a Master’s Degree in Architecture from ENSA Paris La Villette and spending over a decade working across leading architecture studios in Paris and Dubai, Hamdi founded Dua Photography Studio to capture interiors and buildings through a deeply spatial and atmospheric lens.
Specialising in luxury residential, hospitality, and commercial projects, the studio is known for cinematic imagery that highlights light, materiality, proportion, and emotional atmosphere. Balancing the restraint of Parisian architectural culture with Dubai’s contemporary ambition, Hamdi’s work goes beyond documentation, revealing the intention, narrative, and sensory experience behind each space.

The interview explores the dialogue between Parisian restraint and Dubai’s contemporary ambition, the emotional intelligence behind architectural photography, and why the most powerful images reveal the intention and feeling behind a space rather than simply documenting its appearance.
