STUDIOS
THE WORLD BEHIND THE WORK
AHAI STUDIOS IS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY CREATIVE STUDIO.
WE CREATE VISUALLY RICH, EMOTIONALLY LED WORK THAT BRINGS AN ARTISTIC, CINEMATIC SENSIBILITY TO THE WAY BRANDS ARE SEEN AND FELT.
OUR APPROACH IS ROOTED IN ATMOSPHERE, STORYTELLING AND DETAIL.
RATHER THAN SIMPLY PRODUCING CONTENT, WE BUILD A WORLD AROUND EACH PROJECT.
SHAPING IMAGE, MOVEMENT, TONE AND IDENTITY INTO SOMETHING DISTINCTIVE, CONSIDERED AND LASTING.
FOUNDED BY ABI HANAH AND ARABELLA ITANI, AHAI STUDIOS BRINGS TOGETHER CREATIVE DIRECTION, FILMMAKING AND VISUAL DESIGN, WORKING ALONGSIDE DOP JOSEPH LEWISTON AND GRAPHIC DESIGNER PHIL DAVIES TO CREATE DISTINCTIVE VISUAL WORLDS FOR OUR CLIENTS.

OUR CRAFT
OUR WORK IS INFLUENCED AS MUCH BY CINEMA AS IT IS BY ARCHITECTURE, FASHION, MUSIC AND EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY.
WE ARE DRAWN TO RESTRAINT OVER SPECTACLE, OBSERVATION OVER EXPLANATION, AND THE QUIET DETAILS THAT STAY WITH PEOPLE LONG AFTER THEY'VE FORGOTTEN THE HEADLINE.
WE DON'T BELIEVE GREAT CREATIVE SHOULD INTERRUPT PEOPLE'S ATTENTION. WE BELIEVE IT SHOULD REWARD IT.
BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE CONNECT EMOTIONALLY WITH A BRAND, THEY'RE NO LONGER BUYING A PRODUCT OR BOOKING A ROOM, THEY'RE BUYING INTO A WORLD THEY WANT TO BE PART OF. THAT'S THE WORK WE'RE INTERESTED IN MAKING.
WORK THAT INCREASES CULTURAL VALUE. WORK THAT SHIFTS PERCEPTION. WORK THAT PEOPLE RETURN TO BECAUSE IT FEELS TIMELESS RATHER THAN TIMELY.
