The campaign is relevant for the Industry Craft category due to its emphasis on raw and real visual expressions that authentically connect with the riding community.

The simplicity of the visuals embody a human truth that resonates deeply with motorcycle enthusiasts, and capture the essence of the limited riding season, forging a genuine connection with the audience.

This raw and real approach distinguishes the campaign, aligning perfectly with Industry Craft by showcasing the power of simplicity and authenticity in visual communication.

The campaign centres around the unique anticipation of the limited riding season in the UAE.

Unlike in many other parts of the world where motorcycle riding is a year-round pursuit, the harsh and prolonged summer in the UAE confines riders to just a few precious months.

This climatic limitation adds a distinct layer of significance to the campaign, making the celebration of the riding season even more pronounced.

The visuals are an invitation to embrace the thrill that riders experience during this fleeting period of optimal conditions.

We needed to ensure that the photographic style resonates with the biker community, capturing the world as seen from a rider’s vantage point—the lean into a curve, the intimate closeness to the asphalt.

The perspective in the photographs is quintessentially biker, offering a view of the roads only experienced by those who ride them.
