10 Jul Photo shoots at Riad 72 in Marrakech

Flip through any magazine whether it’s design, fashion or travel and it is hard not to find a mention or even a full photo shoot in Marrakech. The city is a hotspot for editors, creative directors and designers from around the world looking to shoot their latest collection.

In fact, wander through the Marrakech medina and you will not only be amazed by the colourful souk finds, but these days you’re likely to stumble upon a photo shoot under way. Brides magazine recently hosted a photo shoot in the old city for its February edition, while Vogue has been here many times, even shooting Lupita Nyong’o’s July 2014 cover shoot in venues throughout the red city.

And here at Riad 72 we have been busy welcoming crews shooting fashion look books for their upcoming collections. From our jungle-like courtyard, to our sleek rooms and the backdrop of the Marrakech medina from our rooftop terrace, stylists, photographers and photo editors alike have been in touch with us to coordinate their shoots.

Grab some early morning photos up on the rooftop terrace or capture your subject as the morning light floods the Karma Suite. When the afternoon sun hits, seek the shade and favourable lighting under the banana trees where the central patio provides a refreshing backdrop or even one of the suites where shimmers of light flood the minimalist decor. As night falls, head back up to the terrace to capture the photo subject set against a stunning backdrop – the skyline of old Marrakech medina dotted with minarets and towering palm trees.
