Questions
What guests and residents usually ask.
When is the best time for a photoshoot in Dubai?
The hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset give the softest light on the beach, in the desert and on a yacht. From June to September we shoot outdoors only at those times because of the heat.
Where can we be photographed?
On the beaches facing the Burj Al Arab, in the desert outside Dubai, on yachts from Dubai Marina and Dubai Harbour, and in hotels such as Atlantis The Royal, One&Only Royal Mirage, One&Only One Za’abeel, Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, Bvlgari Resort Dubai. Some hotels and public places need permission; we tell you which when we plan the shoot.
Can our hotel concierge arrange the shoot for us?
Yes. Concierges can write or call on your behalf. We confirm availability, plan the location and timing with the hotel, and keep the concierge informed.
How much does a photoshoot cost?
Each shoot is quoted individually once we know the type, the location and how long you would like. Tell us what you have in mind and we reply within one business day.
Do you photograph outside Dubai?
Yes. We cover Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Ajman and Umm Al Quwain, and travel internationally on request.
