Fashion

We cover the full spectrum of fashion photography across Dubai and the UAE. This includes editorial fashion for magazines and digital publications, model portfolio shoots for new and working models, brand and e-commerce campaigns for fashion and lifestyle labels, lookbook shoots for independent designers, personal branding shoots for influencers and content creators, commercial fashion for advertising, and conceptual art-direction-led fashion projects. We also shoot both male and female models, Arabic and modest fashion, street style, and high-fashion studio work. If you have a specific vision or brief in mind, we would love to hear it.

Pricing depends on the scope of the project. A model portfolio session is priced differently from a full brand campaign with multiple looks and locations. We do not list fixed packages because the requirements vary so much from one client to the next. What we can tell you is that we price competitively for Dubai’s creative market and we are very transparent about what is included in any quote we send. Reach out with your brief and we will come back with a detailed, honest proposal.

Yes, and we do this regularly. A strong model portfolio is one of the most important investments a new model can make, and we understand exactly what agencies in Dubai and the UAE look for. We work with new models on both studio and outdoor sessions, coaching on posing and expression throughout, and we deliver a set of images that gives you range across different looks, moods, and styles. If you are just starting out and unsure where to begin, get in touch and we can discuss what a portfolio session should include for your specific market.

Yes. We work across the full range, from first-time models building a book to experienced models and agency-signed talent refreshing their portfolio or shooting specific campaign content. Our approach adapts to the experience level and the brief. With established models we typically move faster, work more collaboratively on the creative direction, and produce content that matches the quality standard their agencies expect.

Both. Studio sessions give you full control over light, background, and environment, which is ideal for clean editorial looks, catalogue content, and anything where consistency across multiple shots matters. On-location sessions in Dubai offer incredible variety, from urban architecture and rooftops to the desert, the beach, heritage districts, and modern lifestyle settings. Many fashion shoots benefit from a combination of both. We discuss what makes the most sense for your concept before every project.

Dubai has extraordinary diversity as a backdrop. Downtown Dubai and the DIFC offer modern urban architecture with clean lines and interesting geometry. The Al Fahidi historical neighbourhood provides rich texture, colour, and an authentic sense of place. The desert is dramatic, timeless, and genuinely unlike anywhere else. The beach works beautifully for lifestyle and resort fashion. Rooftops across Business Bay and Downtown give skyline context. We also know more off-the-radar spots that tend to produce more distinctive images and avoid the locations that are overused in the local fashion scene. Happy to make recommendations once we understand your concept.

We can coordinate and recommend trusted professional hair and makeup artists and stylists who we work with regularly in Dubai. Bringing a professional MUA and stylist to a fashion shoot makes a significant difference to the quality of the final images. If you already have your own team, that works perfectly too. For model portfolio sessions, we can advise on whether full MUA and styling is recommended or whether a simpler, more natural look would better serve the portfolio.

For most fashion and portfolio sessions, clients bring their own wardrobe selections. We always recommend preparing at least two to three outfit changes that represent different styles, moods, and occasions so your portfolio or campaign has genuine range. Before the session, we are happy to look over your outfit choices and give feedback on what is likely to work well on camera and what might not translate as intended. For brand or designer shoots, the client typically provides the garments being photographed.

October through April is the ideal window. The light during these months is warm and golden, temperatures are comfortable for wearing fashion looks, and early morning and late afternoon shooting conditions are excellent. From May through September the heat makes outdoor fashion shoots extremely uncomfortable, particularly for models wearing multiple layers or designer pieces that cannot risk sweat damage. We do occasionally schedule pre-dawn outdoor shoots in summer for specific projects, but studio work is generally the smarter choice during the hotter months.

Yes. Brand and designer fashion photography is a significant part of what we do. A lookbook or campaign shoot involves collaboration on the creative direction, the casting of models, the choice of locations or studio setup, and the delivery of images formatted for your specific channels, whether that is e-commerce product pages, social media, print, or advertising. We treat every brand shoot as a creative partnership and we take the time to understand your aesthetic and your target audience before we start planning.
