How I Work: Luxury Brand Photography Workflow
As a leading luxury brand photographer based in Dubai, I specialize in capturing the essence of luxury hotels, architectural design, and interior design through a seamless and detailed approach. I work with luxury brands and hospitality leaders to deliver high-end visuals that elevate your property’s visual identity and resonate with your target audience.
From pre-production planning to post-production perfection, my process is designed to create exceptional, high-quality images that stand out in today’s competitive market.
Pre-Production: Detailed Planning for Flawless Results
The process begins with understanding your brand’s unique vision. I collaborate closely with you to ensure that we capture your property’s essence through luxury hotel photography or architectural interiors.
Key steps include:
Shoot List: We begin by discussing the specific areas of focus for the shoot, ensuring we cover the most important elements of your luxury hotel or resort.
Site Recce: Once I have the shoot list, I’ll conduct a recce to assess the best locations and angles. This helps in planning compositions and deciding on any necessary props for each shot.
Collaborative Composition: We’ll review the shoot compositions together before the shoot to ensure we’re aligned on lighting, angles, and props, ensuring no surprises.
Production: Capturing Every Moment with Precision
On the shoot day, I strive to begin early to ensure we have plenty of time for each shot. This allows me to produce high-quality, luxury brand imagery without the pressure of rushed timelines.
What you can expect:
Collaboration: I work closely with you throughout the shoot. As I shoot, I review images in real-time, so we can adjust compositions, props, and lighting directly on-site.
Lighting: Lighting is one of my specialties. I ensure every image is beautifully lit to enhance the mood and showcase the elegance of your space.
Efficiency: I estimate 8-10 images per day, depending on the complexity of the space. Larger areas like ballrooms or exteriors may take longer, but I ensure every detail is captured to perfection.
Post-Production: Perfecting the Final Image
Post-production is where the magic truly happens. I handle every aspect of retouching, ensuring each image is meticulously edited to reflect the highest standards of quality.
What happens during post-production:
Editing Process: Each image undergoes blemish removal, exposure adjustments, color correction, and lighting tweaks to ensure the final image is flawless.
Composite Photography: Many of my images are composite shots, created from multiple exposures, ensuring lighting and compositions look natural yet beautifully lit.
Final Touches: I carry out an extra round of retouching to give each image the highest level of polish before delivery.

The final cost can vary depending on several factors, such as the shoot date, number of final images, usage, project details, location, and the type of photography required (whether it’s architectural, hospitality, lifestyle, advertising, editorial, or award-oriented).
For larger or more complex assignments, I use a sliding scale pricing model to ensure that the rates are fair and tailored to your specific needs. I always encourage clients to reach out so we can discuss your project in detail and provide an accurate estimate based on your requirements.
