The medium does not matter if you are truly artistic, says renowned photographer Hikmat Wehbi
Artists have the unique ability to utilize many different types of mediums to create and inspire audiences worldwide. While many artists might be famous for the use of a particular medium, the truth is they have all experimented with different kinds throughout their careers. Being a successful artist is all about taking risks, and renowned photographer Hikmat Wehbi built his career on a combination of talent and exceptional use of mixed media.
Hikmat Wehbi is a world-famous photographer currently living in Dubai. Originally from Beirut, he is the founder of W Studio, a creative director and director of photography. Hikmat started his business focused on fashion and portraits but quickly adapted to a changing marketplace due to his keen eye for creativity and his ability to embrace it. “Photography is all about maximizing the beauty of a moment, and you have to be willing to experiment,” says Hikmat. “Experimentation is at the root of all artistic talent.”
What sets Hikmat apart is his ability to see potential in all types of mediums. Hikmat doesn’t like to confine himself to one approach as he feels that it can limit an artist and hinder their talent. As W Studio rose to prominence in Dubai, Hikmat found himself experimenting with media to meet a more diverse range of clients. Shifting his focus changed the studio for the better. It evolved from a portrait studio to a full-fledged production company catering to all kinds of clients spanning advertising to hospitality, delivering digital and social media content.
“If you are truly artistic, the medium doesn’t matter,” explains Hikmat. “You will see the potential and deliver on it. That is what an artist does. A true artist is never limited by medium. They only work harder when presented with something new.” With over twenty years of experience, Hikmat is now a trusted production artist for brands like Chanel, L’Oreal, Dior, Carolina Herrera, and many others.
To Hikmat medium is all about utilizing the various tools artists have at their disposal, and exceptional artists know that their work relies on using all these tools fearlessly and appropriately. “With the rise of digital media, there is so much pressure on artists to push the envelope, but I welcome it as a challenge to push my abilities,” says Hikmat. With the ever-changing media landscape, Hikmat Wehbi is undoubtedly leading the charge for all artists to embrace it.

Coco Glow Redefines Success on Natalie Massaro Terms
The American Dream whispers promises of opportunity, but for first-generation children, it can also carry a heavy weight of expectation. Natalie Massaro, the visionary behind Coco Glow, knows this firsthand. “There was an unspoken pressure to succeed,” Natalie explains. “Failure wasn’t an option.” This fueled a relentless work ethic in her – juggling two jobs while in school, a constant drive to excel that burned brightly within her.
This drive initially led the SheEO down a traditional path. But a different passion, simmering beneath the surface, tugged at her – a love for beauty and skincare. Stemming from her own experiences navigating body image as a woman with curves in a world often fixated on a single standard of beauty, Natalie knew there was a different narrative to be told.
It was a leap of faith, fueled by unwavering determination, which led Natalie to trade in the traditional path for entrepreneurship. in 2019, Coco Glow was born out of her Jersey Shore apartment. Today she has a staff of talented contour artists and is currently expanding into a second location. The recent introduction of teeth whitening hints at a future where Coco Glow offers a complete canvas for radiant beauty.
“Always find your why,” is Natalie’s mantra. Inspired by her parents’ unwavering work ethic, a constant reminder that “no one can fail if you are consistently showing up every day,” Natalie poured her heart and soul into Coco Glow. Entrepreneurship, it seems, runs in her blood. Her father’s success was a testament to the power of hard work and dedication, values that now echo in Coco Glow’s leadership. Her commitment to exceptional service is a direct reflection of the “show up every day” mindset.
A testament to the American Dream – reimagined for a new generation. It’s about defying expectations, forging your own path, and leaving your mark. It’s about finding your “why” and turning it into something beautiful, one sun-kissed client at a time. And witnessing the boost of confidence in each client who walks out the door is its own reward.
“Every client is understood, their wants and needs are adjusted to – your spray tan is the easiest part of your day” – perfectly represents her client-centric approach.
Experience Natalie’s artistic touch and the Coco Glow team help you feel radiant from the inside out. Visit their storefront Shrewsbury, New Jersey, or call (732) 362-7890. Stay updated on their latest creations and explore their offerings at https://cocoglowairbrush.com.
