About
Jimmy de Paris
French photographer and founder of Portrait Dubai. Based in Dubai for more than ten years, working across the UAE and internationally.
The photographer
Corporate, cultural and private work, from Dubai to the world.
Jimmy de Paris is based in Dubai. In Dubai, Abu Dhabi and across the emirates he photographs conferences, executives, signing ceremonies, brand launches, galleries and private celebrations. Internationally he covers galas, yachts, luxury brands and trade shows such as the Cannes Film Festival, TFWA and the Monaco Yacht Show.
He leads every commission in person, with a team of photographers and videographers sized to each event. For clients, that means one team, one point of contact and one invoice, wherever the work is.
Much of his private work comes through the concierges of the palace hotels of the UAE, and stays private.
