Ali Hennaoui — The lens, the frame, and the face behind both.
Born in New York on 25 July 1988. Raised between the streets of Beirut. Now building a world from Dubai.
Before the cameras, there were fifteen years in finance — as a stock market analyst and regulatory specialist. He traded the precision of markets for something harder to quantify: the moment a frame becomes a feeling.
Ali Hennaoui is a Dubai-based luxury fashion content creator, filmmaker and creative director, and co-founder of @aliandwalaa — the couple content brand he built with his wife Walaa Awada, now followed by more than four million people across Instagram and TikTok.
Born in New York and shaped by fifteen years in Beirut, Ali spent the first chapter of his career as a financial analyst and stock market regulator before walking away to build something that couldn't be calculated. Today he conceives the vision, inhabits the frame, and cuts every scene himself — for campaign houses including Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, Hublot and Prada.
