In honor of ‘World Photography Day’, GMC was proud to partner with local Arab photographer, Abdulla Jaafari, to capture the UAE’s culture, beauty and heritage, reflecting both the automotive and artistic worlds.
As part of this initiative, GMC tasked renowned photographer Abdulla Jaafari, to capture the GMC Yukon AT4, that recently joined the Yukon family as the latest trim, and showcase the brand’s connection with the local Arab culture.
GMC has always valued local talent in the creative space, with Abdulla having been a long-term friend of the brand and highly renowned automotive photographer. Abdulla effortlessly captured the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation of the Yukon AT4, and its integration with the local heritage, bringing out the vehicle's distinctive features through captivating imagery.
“A photograph is not just about colors or objects. I believe photography came from the wish of being able to capture a memory in visual form, to keep and cherish for as long as we live. GMC gave me this opportunity to relive some memories from my childhood and to showcase my history and connection with the UAE culture and how the Yukon has been a part of that.” said Abdulla Jaafari.
This collaboration marks GMC’s commitment to supporting local talents in the region. Abdulla’s impactful photos will be used by GMC’s PR team in all future communications collateral for the brand, as GMC recognizes that supporting such talents play an influential role in representing regional cultural heritage and bringing in a diversity of perspectives.

Amalgam Collection has today revealed that they have started development of a Limited Edition of 1:18 scale models perfectly replicating the unique Ferrari 812 Competizione Tailor Made that sold at auction for $5.1m in New York, last October. Limited to 250 pieces, this special Art Car edition is a celebration of the passion and artistry of Ferrari Centro Stile, and will become a much sought-after collectable, especially appealing to Ferrari’s most ardent followers who also appreciate art and design. The creative team at Amalgam anticipate that the edition of models will be completed by their artisans in Autumn 2024. Currently, models in this exceptional edition are only available to pre-order directly from Amalgam Collection.
The new Limited Edition of 250 1:18 scale models follows in the footsteps of the creation by Amalgam of a unique 1:8 scale model last year. The handcrafted 1:8 model was donated by Amalgam Collection and raised significant funding for the Ferrari Foundation, alongside the real car that fetched $5.1 million USD.
Using the original CAD data supplied by Ferrari Centro Stile, Amalgam’s artisans have been able to perfectly recreate the form and every refined detail of the livery of the unique 812 Competizione Tailor Made. The model only received the approval of Chief Design Officer Flavio Manzoni and his design team once they were fully satisfied with its accuracy of representation.
Sandy Copeman, Founder of Amalgam Collection, commented: “While our models are often described as works of art, and are indeed artistic in their creation, in truth, since they deliver the essence of the cars they represent, ultimately the beauty of our models is dependent on the beauty of the car they capture. In this instance, there is no question that both the car and models are art.”
