Bahrain Garden Club
RHS Chelsea Flower Show
Photography

Commissioned to photograph and film the Bahrain Garden Club’s 2025 RHS Chelsea Flower Show exhibit, this series captures a richly layered, immersive installation designed by Jon Wheatley, which was awarded a Silver Gilt Medal.

​

Housed within the Great Pavilion, the exhibit celebrated Bahrain’s cultural and horticultural heritage through a vivid display of native plants, including date palms, alongside evocative elements such as a traditional banoosh boat and a life-size camel model. With no hard landscaping, the focus was on texture, symbolism, and storytelling—offering a sensory journey through Bahrain’s landscape traditions.

​

My aim was to reflect this atmosphere through stills and video—capturing both the visual richness and the quiet narrative moments of the space. From close-ups of botanical detail to wide compositions featuring the boat and camel, the work honours the exhibit’s artistry and intent.

​

This commission highlights how gardens can tell cultural stories—and how photography and film can bring those stories to life long after the show ends.
