Agent Provocateur, 
Miss AP — 

concept by / iza el nems
creative + art direction
yr 2025
​
a woman steps into a high-gloss dreamscape. her reflection multiplies in mirrored vanities, silk sheets spill onto the floor, shadows frame her body like sculpture. a controlled fantasy,
indulgent, and designed with intention, our woman is charged with confidence. inspired by the "i enjoy being a girl" sequence from flower drum song, Miss AP reimagines old hollywood glamour with surreal precision.

Character Study —

creative + art direction
yr 2025
​
campaign centers on one female model—a canvas of transformation—who shifts into a series of bold, bizarre, and captivating personas. each character is defined by the wigs they wear, anchored by maria nila’s products. a cinematic cosplay session meets beauty ritual, turning everyday care into identity, creativity, and reinvention.

Marina Abramovic, 
A Visual Perspective — 

concept by / iza el nems
creative + art direction
yr 2025
​
images suggest a moment captured mid-narrative, leaving the viewer to imagine the story that surrounds it—what came before, and what might come after. horizontal compositions mimic the widescreen aspect of cinema, allowing for a storytelling atmosphere within each frame. marina appears as though she’s caught in action, suspended in time. blending of elements—horizontal framing, narrative suggestion + subtle motion—aims to create an immersive visual story. invites viewers to step inside and imagine the series unfolding.

​
a playful, 60-second spot that reimagines heineken through bold visuals, generational casting, and subtle humor. set in a minimal, warhol-inspired scene, a model reacts to four heineken formats—no drinking, just expression. it’s about anticipation, connection, and the universal appeal of the brand.

The North Face Japan, 
Crossing Paths — 

concept by / iza el nems
creative + art direction
yr 2025
​
campaign tells a story of love and adventure woven together against the rugged, mystical landscapes of upstate new york. redefining outdoor exploration, the concept centers on the journey of a bond—the quiet strength, subtle vulnerabilities, and moments of awe found when two artists navigate both nature and each other. by positioning love as an ongoing journey rather than a destination, the campaign mirrors north face’s ethos of exploration, resilience, and connection to the natural world.

Middle East Archive, 
Asal Ê¿A Albi  — 

concept by / iza el nems
creative + art direction
yr 2026
​
a surreal, slow-moving family portrait set in a villa in beirut—a deconstructed home video reimagined through the lens of iza el nems. the camera becomes a quiet observer, gliding through rooms and terraces, revealing everyday rituals (fruit picking, cooking, smoking, resting, dancing, eating) staged like a living family photo. each person wears clothing not as costume, but as second skin—a quiet part of their identity, folded into a narrative of nostalgia / observational intimacy. it’s voyeuristic, dreamlike, and emotionally grounded in place.
