Two days. Two models. A hundred+ summer styles. One unforgettable campaign.
When Maamgic, the cult-favorite men’s swimwear brand, approached us for their next campaign, they weren’t just after beautiful images. They were chasing a feeling, that magnetic pull of summer. The freedom. The warmth. The attitude.
At Velours Media, we don’t just shoot products, we craft brand worlds. And for this project, that meant building a cinematic, high-conversion lifestyle campaign from the ground up, right on the sun-drenched shores of the Gold Coast, Australia.
From beachfront sunrises to rooftop infinity pools, urban roads to coastal adventures, we designed, produced, and delivered what’s already become one of the most striking men’s swimwear campaigns of the year.
🎬 A Full-Service Production by Velours Media
This wasn’t a simple photoshoot. It was a full-scale fashion campaign production, carefully led and executed by Stéphane Spatafora, Creative Director and Founder of Velours Media.
Every element was handled in-house:
Creative direction and visual concept
Location scouting and resort access
Crew and model coordination
Styling, logistics, and gear
Photo and video execution
Post-production and content delivery
We secured exclusive access to:
🏝 Eve Residences, a luxury rooftop pool location with white minimalist architecture
🏨 Bel Air Broadbeach a modern resort with Mediterranean-inspired architecture and prime location elevated the smart-casual narrative of the Maamgic campaign.
These partnerships allowed us to elevate every scene while staying lean — offering premium backdrops, cinematic environments, and complete creative freedom without blowing the budget.
🌊 Day One — Beach Sunrises & Poolside Luxury
Our first day opened with a sunrise shoot on the beach. With golden light pouring over the shoreline, our models moved through scenes filled with surfboards, linen shirts, beach umbrellas, floaties, and swim rings. The aesthetic was vibrant, youthful, and effortless, pure Maamgic.
Later in the afternoon, we transitioned to the infinity pool at Eve Residences, where the mood shifted to relaxed luxury. Framed by crisp white walls and turquoise water, we captured everything from lounging lifestyle shots to dynamic action moments — water guns, volleyballs, group scenes, and close-ups. The light danced on the water, elevating every shot.
This day alone brought more than 90 styled pieces to life, each one captured with intention, energy, and editorial edge.
🛹 Day Two — Urban Cool Meets Coastal Escape
For day two, we shifted the energy toward urban lifestyle storytelling. At Bel Air Broadbeach, we captured laid-back, street-ready summer looks using skateboards, bicycles, and casual packs as props. The models flowed through early morning light, giving us walking shots, ride-bys, and street-side textures that anchored the Maamgic identity in everyday adventure.
In the afternoon, we hit the coastal roads, chasing the light along scenic curves and sea-facing walkways. These scenes brought a cinematic edge, wind-blown shirts, movement-filled walk cycles, coastal color palettes, and golden-hour silhouettes.
Each location was chosen not just for beauty, but for narrative function, every frame had a purpose. A story.
👥 The Dream Team That Brought It All Together
It takes a village to make a vision happen. And for this campaign, the village was elite.
