About
Omar Abolaban
Fashion and commercial photographer, working between Cairo and Riyadh.
Omar builds images for brands that need to be looked at twice — studio-lit or on location, the throughline is control: of light, of wardrobe, of the exact half-second an expression reads as real.
Based between Cairo and Riyadh, he shoots fashion, streetwear and product-on-model campaigns for independent labels and sportswear names alike — from an Adidas × Al Ahly campaign to jewelry editorials and the seasonal drops of Cairo's streetwear scene. Work is captured in Capture One Pro and finished in Photoshop, with art direction and set design on selected projects.
What he shoots
- Fashion and campaign photography for apparel and sportswear brands
- Streetwear lookbooks and seasonal drops
- Product-on-model and jewelry editorials
- Editorial portraits, in the studio and on location
- Art direction and set design on selected projects
How he works
Every set is lit with intent — studio backdrops, colored gels, practical locations — and finished in Capture One Pro and Photoshop. Current toolkit: Capture One Pro · Photoshop retouch · Art direction · Studio & on-location · Set design.
His line: “The closer you look, the less you see.”
