Executive headshots in Abu Dhabi
I photograph executives in Abu Dhabi at their own offices. You do not travel, you do not need to know how to pose, and you get images you are comfortable putting on LinkedIn, in an annual report, or on a conference programme.
I am based in Dubai and come to Abu Dhabi regularly.
How a session in Abu Dhabi works
We talk first on a short call, so I understand what the photos are for and what you want to look like. Then I come to you with everything needed, set up in a meeting room or any quiet space of about 3 by 4 metres, and we shoot.
You see the photos as we go, on a screen beside us, so nothing is a surprise at the end. A Presence Starter session takes about 15 minutes. A fuller branding session runs two to four hours. For a team, allow about 10 minutes per person.
Delivery depends on the session. Presence Starter headshots arrive within 24 hours. A Builder session takes five working days, a Master session seven, and team headshots two. Same-day and next-day delivery are available as add-ons if you are working to a deadline.
Where we can shoot
Your own office is the simplest and the most common. I bring lighting and backgrounds, so the room itself does not need to be anything special.
If you would rather have daylight and a sense of place, Abu Dhabi gives you good options: the Corniche early in the morning, the ADGM and Al Maryah Island buildings, Saadiyat. Outdoor sessions work best between October and April, and early morning or late afternoon the rest of the year. We will decide together on the call.
Who this is for
Executives and board members who need a portrait that matches their role. Founders and consultants building a personal brand. Teams in finance, law, energy and government who need everyone to look like they belong to the same organisation.
Travel to Abu Dhabi
I am based in Dubai and travel to Abu Dhabi for sessions. A flat travel fee applies, the same whether I am photographing one person or a whole team. I confirm the figure on the discovery call, before you commit to anything.
Common questions
Do you come to our office in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. I bring lighting, backgrounds and everything else. I need a room of roughly 3 by 4 metres and a little time to set up before we start.
Can you photograph our whole team in one day?
Yes. Allow about 10 minutes per person, and team sessions start at groups of six. Everyone gets the same lighting and background, so the portraits sit together on your website without looking mismatched.
Can we shoot outdoors instead?
Yes. The Corniche and Al Maryah Island both work well. Between May and September we start early or shoot late, because of the heat.
What if I hate having my photo taken?
Most people say that. I guide you through every pose and expression, so you are never standing there wondering what to do with your hands.
How far ahead should we book?
Tell me the date you have in mind and I will work around it where I can.
Ready when you are
If you would like to talk it through, book a short call and we will work out what fits.
