Work with Abhay Desai
work with me
Art direction and visual storytelling that moves — for brands that want to be felt, not just seen.
I don't just shoot — I art-direct. I shape the concept, the mood, and the frames, across stills and motion, into work that carries a feeling and not only a likeness. If you have a product, a place, or a person you need seen in a way that lingers — a campaign, a story, a concept you can't quite picture yet — that's the work I want. Based in Melbourne, available for commissions and happy to travel for the right project.
what I offer
-
Art direction & campaigns
A concept built around your brand, then directed into a coherent set of stills and motion with a point of view — made to run across a launch, a season, a story.
-
Motion & film
The same eye, moving — a growing part of the work. Short-form and reels are where I already live; longer campaign films are where I'm taking it. Let's talk if that's the direction you need.
-
Lifestyle & portrait
People in motion and at rest — founders, practitioners, talent. Warm, human, unstaged-feeling, even when it is built frame by frame.
-
Editorial
Narrative image-making for features and long-form — a visual thread that carries a piece rather than decorating it.
-
Spec & concept work
Have a product but not a picture of it yet? I develop the concept first — mood, treatment, sample frames — so you can see the campaign before you commit to it.
how it works
- 01
Tell me what you're making and who it's for. A sentence is enough to start.
- 02
I come back with a concept and a treatment — the idea, the mood, how it'll feel.
- 03
We shoot, I deliver a finished, edited set, and you get images with a point of view.
