ME BY MELIÁ DUBAI AND FUJIFILM INVITE CREATIVES TO CAPTURE THE WORLD’S ONLY HOTEL DESIGNED ENTIRELY BY ZAHA HADID

This July, photographers, creatives and design enthusiasts are invited to step inside the world’s only hotel designed entirely by Zaha Hadid as ME by Meliá Dubai partners with Fujifilm Middle East for an exclusive architectural photography workshop within the iconic Opus building.

Taking place on Saturday, 4 July, the workshop will welcome a select group of participants for a rare opportunity to photograph one of the world’s most celebrated architectural landmarks from the inside. Guided by Fujifilm X-Photographer (brand ambassador) Beno Saradzic, a Dubai-based Emmy-nominated cinematographer and award-winning photographer renowned for his architectural imagery, attendees will discover how to translate architecture into compelling visual stories while exploring the sculptural forms, dramatic perspectives and visionary design that define the hotel.

Widely regarded as one of Dubai’s most architecturally significant landmarks, ME by Meliá Dubai is a striking expression of Zaha Hadid’s visionary design language, where fluid forms, dramatic geometry and sculptural interiors converge. From the sweeping curves of its atrium to the intricate interplay of light, reflection and space, every corner presents a unique photographic opportunity, making it the ideal setting for an immersive exploration of architectural storytelling.

The workshop will begin with an introductory briefing, where participants will gain insight into the fundamentals of architectural photography, composition, and visual storytelling. From there, attendees will embark on a guided photowalk through the hotel’s remarkable interiors, learning how to capture geometry, symmetry, reflections, textures, and the ever-changing interplay of light within Zaha Hadid’s visionary spaces.

As a brand that champions contemporary culture, creativity and self-expression, ME by Meliá Dubai has long served as a platform for artistic discovery, where architecture, art, fashion, gastronomy and culture converge. This collaboration with Fujifilm reflects the hotel’s ongoing commitment to nurturing creative communities and providing inspiring experiences that extend beyond traditional hospitality.

Designed for photographers and creatives of all skill levels, the workshop offers a rare opportunity to learn from one of the industry’s leading experts while gaining exclusive access to one of Dubai’s most photogenic destinations.
