Booking & Availability
How far in advance should I book a photoshoot in Dubai?
We recommend booking a couple of days to about a week in advance to secure your preferred date and time. Popular weekend and golden-hour slots fill up faster, so the earlier you message us, the more choice you have.
Are you available for same-day or last-minute bookings?
Often, yes – it depends on the day’s schedule. If you need a shoot at short notice, message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you straight away what is possible and confirm a time.
Are you based in Dubai full-time?
Yes. Tall Photographer is based at Dubai Media City and works across Dubai full-time, with availability throughout the UAE.
Do you travel outside Dubai for shoots?
Yes. We cover Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, and the wider UAE, and we travel internationally for destination weddings and editorial projects. A travel fee from AED 500 applies for locations outside Dubai, confirmed when you book.
Pricing & Payment
How much does a photoshoot in Dubai cost?
Photography packages start from AED 600. The final price depends on the type of shoot, the time needed, and whether it is in our studio or on-location. For larger or commercial projects, we send a custom quote. Tell us what you need, and we will give you a clear price.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, payment link (card), and bank transfer. A 50% deposit secures your date, with the balance due on or before the delivery day.
Your Shoot
Do you shoot indoors and outdoors?
Both. We shoot in our Dubai studio, on-location indoors at offices, homes, and venues, and outdoors at landmarks and the desert. We adapt to whatever setting works best for your photos.
Do you provide makeup and styling for shoots?
Yes, as an add-on. We work with professional makeup artists and stylists in Dubai and can arrange them for your session. Just ask when you book and we will include it in your quote.
Do you retouch and edit all the photos you deliver?
Yes. Every image we deliver receives professional retouching and colour correction as standard. You never receive raw, unedited files.
Delivery & Photos
How many images will I receive from my session?
It depends on the session type and package – a quick session delivers fewer images than a half-day shoot. Every delivered image is fully retouched and colour corrected. We confirm the expected number when you book.
What is the turnaround time for edited photos?
Standard turnaround is 24 to 48 hours for most portrait and lifestyle sessions. Commercial projects usually take 3 to 5 business days. Rush delivery is available on request for urgent jobs.
How will I receive my final photos?
All final edited photos are delivered through a secure, private online gallery link that stays active for 7 days. You can view, download, and share your images from any device.
Services & Coverage
Do you do corporate headshots and business photography?
Yes. We shoot corporate headshots, executive and CEO portraits, personal branding, and full team photography in our studio or on-location at your office. See our corporate photography page for packages.
Do you offer video as well as photography?
Yes. We are a full in-house photo and video team, with video packages starting from AED 750. You can book photo and video together in one session. See our videography page for more.
