OBLU XPERIENCE
Lens and Lumen worked with OBLU Xperience Ailafushi to produce a suite of lifestyle images and a hero film that showcases the entire resort experience.
A full lifestyle campaign built around guests actually using the resort - beach volleyball, open water, meals, movement. The brief was simple: show the energy, not the inventory. Rooms and facilities were never the focus, instead the camera followed real moments, the kind that make someone book a trip rather than just scroll past.
ELIKA CAVE SUITES
Lens and Lumen were commissioned by Elika Cave Suites to produce a short cinematic film and full photography suite, including updated drone aerials.
The project documents one of the region's most distinctive boutique properties, carved into the ancient stone of Uçhisar.
The work moved between the scale of the landscape and the intimacy of the property itself, capturing why Cappadoccia still stops people in their tracks. Less about the rooms, more about the place itself.
Bird Hills
A full campaign capturing the wild, unhurried spirit of one of Bali's most immersive jungle retreats. With open air architecture, private plunge pools, and the particular feeling of being completely swallowed by the canopy.
Lens and Lumen was brought in to tell that story honestly, through photography and film that felt lived-in rather than staged.
MERCURE MELBOURNE SOUTHBANK
The Way To Wherever produced a full creative campaign and image suite for an upcoming international campaign for Mercure. The project involved capturing the unique character and experience of Mercure Melbourne Southbank andMelbourne city.
CHINATOWN
Chinatown Bangkok is a place that doesn't sit still. This personal film immerses in the organised chaos of Yaowarat, the smoke of open grills, the ritual of a family recipe passed down through generations, the streets that come alive after dark. A cinematic portrait of food as culture, hospitality as identity, and Bangkok as a city best experienced through its flavour.
VARANASI
Lens and Lumen were challenged to explore themes around taking chances on planet earth to feel alive. This short explores life’s impermanence through the lens of Varanasi, where ancient traditions contrast with modern progress.
A reflection on mortality and the urgency of truly living, the film placed 3rd overall at Be Still Media’s 2023 Arts Festival, resonating with audiences on the beauty of embracing the present moment.
VELUVANA
Veluvana Bamboo Houses is redefining the art of eco-luxury, offering an enchanting escape in the heart of Bali’s lush landscape. Designed with sustainability and serenity in mind, these architectural masterpieces invite guests to reconnect with nature while indulging in a one-of-a-kind experience.
Lens and Lumen crafted this film to showcase the newly unveiled Snail House - a stunning addition to the collection. This piece highlights the harmony and tranquility awaiting travellers seeking a truly immersive Balinese retreat.
SHYMBULAK
Lens and Lumen produced a speculative summer campaign for Shymbulak Mountain Resort, highlighting the gondola as an easy, accessible way to experience the mountains in the summer.
The ad follows visitors taking a relaxed ascent above alpine trails and open landscapes, positioning the gondola as an alternative to high-energy adventure, ideal for those looking to explore a fun day on the mountain.
Designed for a summer audience seeking nature without the climb, the project reframes Shymbulak’s gondola services as a simple gateway to scenic views, fresh air, and time well spent.
BETWEEN PROJECTS
These pieces capture how we think as filmmakers, experimenting with movement, atmosphere, and story before it ever becomes a campaign.
