Your Personal Branding Photoshoot in Dubai: What to Expect

A personal branding photoshoot in Dubai helps you create a strong visual identity that resonates with your audience. Whether you're a consultant, entrepreneur, or creative professional, having high-quality, consistent imagery is crucial for your online presence, from LinkedIn to your website. We've helped many professionals in areas like Business Bay and Jumeirah craft their personal brand visuals.

Your shoot can take place in a variety of locations across Dubai, each offering a distinct backdrop. Consider the modern, architectural lines of Dubai Design District (d3) for a contemporary feel, or the more traditional, vibrant souks for a touch of local culture. The key is to choose a setting that authentically reflects your brand and personality.

How long should your branding photoshoot be?

The ideal duration for your personal branding photoshoot depends on how many looks, locations, and types of content you need. A one-hour photography session, priced at AED 699, provides 20 edited, colour-graded photos. This is suitable for a quick refresh or a specific set of headshots with one or two outfits.

For more variety, a two-hour photography session at AED 899 delivers 35 edited images. This allows for more outfit changes and potentially a second location within close proximity, such as moving from an indoor studio in Al Quoz to a nearby outdoor setting. A three-hour session, at AED 1299, gives you 45 images and more flexibility for different concepts.

If you need extensive content for a website launch or a full year's worth of social media, consider a half-day (four hours) for AED 1700, which includes 60 photos, or a full day (eight hours) for AED 3000, providing 100 images. These longer sessions are ideal for incorporating multiple locations, props, and a wider range of poses and expressions.

What about adding video to your personal brand?

Video content is increasingly important for personal branding, allowing you to connect with your audience in a dynamic way. You can book a combined photography and videography package, starting from two hours at AED 1199. This includes both still images and an edited video, typically 30 seconds for a one-hour shoot up to five minutes for a full day.

For example, a two-hour combined shoot will give you both photos and a 30-second edited video. This can be perfect for a short introductory clip for your website or a series of social media reels. If you need additional video content, an extra 30-second edited video can be added for AED 249.

When planning your shoot, remember that outdoor locations in Dubai during the summer months (May to September) are best scheduled for early morning or late afternoon to avoid the intense heat. Indoor locations or studios in areas like Alserkal Avenue offer a comfortable alternative during these times. Always check if your chosen location, especially in malls or private communities, requires a permit or prior booking.

What happens after your shoot?

After your personal branding photoshoot, you'll receive your edited, colour-graded photos. For photography, you get one round of revisions. For video, you receive up to two rounds of revisions to ensure the final product aligns perfectly with your brand vision. Raw footage is not included in the deliverables.

Your payment is held securely by Shootix throughout the project. The professional only receives payment once you confirm that the shoot has been delivered to your satisfaction. Every professional on our platform is ID-checked before their profile goes live, ensuring peace of mind.
