Keep the movement.

Thirty images built to carry the brand across the profile, the campaign and the clinic, in the palette and the register agreed in the Brand Book.

Dr. Ronald Barreto · Dubai · August 2026
What this isA working image bank

Seven families of image, each one carrying a different part of the positioning. Every frame is ready to use as a carousel cover, a story or a profile picture.

The rule behind itPremium without ostentation

If an element communicates the standard of the care, it stays. If it communicates the standard of a personal life, it goes. No cars, no watches, no jewellery beyond the wedding band.

What it respectsDHA advertising and ethics

No patients, no procedures under way, no clinical equipment in use, no promise of a result. Positioning images, cleared to sit under ST-21 and ST-66.

01

The portrait

The face of the brand, in the tones that separate you from a field that is almost entirely blue. These are the frames for the profile picture, the site header and the opening slide of a carousel.

Editorial portrait on navy
01Navy, direct Navy on navy, lit to keep the separation. The most formal frame in the set. 4:5Navy leads
Ivory jacket on navy
02Ivory on navy The same pose with the tonal weight reversed. Reads warmer and carries text well beside it. 4:5Navy leads
Three-quarter portrait on ivory
03Ivory, three-quarter Square crop, warm ground, gold falling on the background. The friendliest of the portraits. 1:1Ivory leads
Editorial portrait, alternative
04Navy, square to camera Alternative take with a softer key. Good for a credential slide. 3:4Navy leads
Navy portrait turned
05Navy, turned Body angled, eyes back to the lens. Less institutional, closer to a magazine opening. 3:4Navy leads
02

Know the cause

The mechanism, shown rather than claimed. This is the family that carries the hook about the cause that may not appear on the MRI, and the difference between finding the cause and treating the pain.

Knee model in hand
06The knee in hand Concentration on the joint. The anchor image of the whole set. 1:1Olive supports
Pointing at the joint line
07The joint line Pointing at where it hurts while looking at the viewer. Built for the second slide of an explainer. 1:1Navy leads
Standing with the knee model
08Standing, model in hand Room on the left for a headline. A cover frame. 4:5Navy leads
Explaining in an olive blazer
09Explaining, in olive The same subject in the human register of the palette. Mid-sentence, hand open. 4:5Olive leads
Reading a knee MRI
10Reading the MRI The scan is anonymised, with no name, date or patient data on screen. The image for the argument that the cause is not always on the film. 4:5Navy leads
Working with the model beside
11The reasoning Notebook, pen, model within reach. The plan being written before anything is decided. 4:5Navy leads
03

The consultation

Where the relationship happens. The coats are plain, with no logo and no embroidery, so the images belong to the personal brand and travel with it.

Listening in the olive armchair
12Listening Forward, forearms on the knees. The posture of the consultation, before any technique is on the table. 4:5Olive leads
Classic white coat
13The white coat Classic cut, olive armchair behind. Replaces the current profile image, which still carries the old positioning. 3:4Ivory leads
Mandarin collar coat
14The modern coat Mandarin collar over a navy shirt. Reads as a private clinic rather than a hospital corridor. 3:4Ivory leads
At the desk
15At the desk Sleeves rolled, morning light. The quiet part of the work, useful behind a long caption. 4:5Ivory leads
04

Dubai

The city as context, never as a trophy. The landmarks stay soft and behind you, which is what keeps the frame about the practice and not about the postcard.

Consulting room with skyline
16The room, with the city Desk, olive chair and the skyline out of focus. Authority without leaving the clinic. 4:5Navy leads
Rooftop in olive
17Rooftop, in olive Golden hour, Downtown behind. The warmest frame for a campaign opening. 4:5Olive leads
Rooftop at golden hour
18Rooftop, in navy The same terrace in tailoring. Wide enough to carry a line of copy over the sky. 4:5Navy leads
Terrace facing the Burj Al Arab
19By the sea Linen and the water at Jumeirah. The lightest register in the set, for prevention and lifestyle content. 4:5Ivory leads
Rooftop at blue hour
20Blue hour City lights thrown out of focus. Works for evening posts and event announcements. 3:4Navy leads
Standing in the colonnade
21The colonnade Full vertical, built for stories and Reels covers. 9:16Navy leads
In raking light
22Raking light Three-piece cut, a wedge of sun across the face. The most graphic frame available. 4:5Navy leads
Walking through the colonnade
23In motion Mid-stride, straight geometry framing the walk. A story opener. 9:16Navy leads
05

In conversation

The register for the person behind the method. Useful wherever the content is about how you think rather than what you do.

Seated in a hotel lounge
24The lounge Olive jacket, ivory leather, a single gold cufflink. Composed and unhurried. 4:5Olive leads
Explaining at the table
25Mid-sentence Hand open across the table. The frame for a quote card. 3:4Olive leads
Hands clasped at the table
26Listening again Hands clasped, attention held. Reads well as a closing slide. 3:4Olive leads
06

On stage

Authority among peers. The screen behind stays blank on purpose, so the images do not date and carry any talk.

Speaking on stage
27The talk One measured gesture, olive tie. For credentials, teaching and event posts. 4:5Olive accent
Mid-gesture on stage
28Mid-gesture Closer, hands working, mid-sentence. The livelier of the two. 4:5Olive accent
07

Keep the movement

The second half of the big idea, and the only family where the clinic is nowhere in sight. This is where prevention, sport and Bank Your Health live.

Running at dawn
29Running Early light on the waterfront. The surgeon doing what the method asks of the patient. 4:5Olive leads
At the villa terrace
30Off duty Linen, stone and morning water. Life in motion at rest. 4:5Olive leads
One dominant colour, one support from the same family, one detail in gold.

Every frame follows the distribution set in the Brand Book: ivory carries the surface, navy carries the judgement, olive carries the life, and gold signs once by scarcity. A frame that needs a fourth colour usually needs less content instead.

The palette, as shot

#0F2846 NavyThe anchor. Tailoring, dark surfaces, the studio ground.
#5F6B4A OliveThe human register. Jackets, upholstery, foliage.
#B08D57 GoldSigns once. A pen, a cufflink, warm lamp light.
#8DA6B3 Blue-greyThe quiet voice. Sky, glass, shadow.
#D5E0E6 Pale blue-greyThe soft surface behind the subject.
#F7F5F0 IvoryThe air. Most of the surface in every frame.
