Kamie Studio offers a wide variety of photography services to both individual and corporate clients in Dubai.

They have a decent array of specialisations ranging from advertising and branding aids, fashion photography, sports photography, and even professional headshots for corporate clients.

As for their headshot photo services, they can accommodate shoots in a more studio setting and at a preferred location in case you want a more creative background.

The studio takes a lot of excellent headshot photos in our opinion. Shots came out vividly with great detail on the faces without it being too overwhelming.

Lighting is generally good as well and we like how we were given sufficient time to get into a pose that we think we’ll like. The team is also able to give decent suggestions for those who aren’t used to having their photos taken professionally.

There’s very few downsides or points of improvement with the service. In our opinion, scheduling can be a bit time-consuming to discuss at first given how you’ll have to find the right available dates.

Likewise, processing also takes some time to finish. Busier folk may want to take note before committing to a session with the studio.

Overall, we found Kamie to be a very competent corporate photo-taking service. We think most people will be quite satisfied with the results of their photos taken by the studio.

Pros

  • Excellent headshot photos
  • Great coverage of different photo services

Cons

  • Processing takes some time to finish
  • Scheduling is a little time-consuming

Studio360 is well-known as a reliable photo studio for taking professional and creative portraits in Dubai. You can approach them for a wide variety of photo and video work.

Whether you need a partner for an extensive fashion shoot, for events, an ad campaign, or even for just a fun, family photo, Studio360 can be counted on to accommodate these needs.

Additionally, we also think they’ve been very good at taking professional portraits and headshots for corporate use.

In our opinion, the pictures we got turned out really, really nicely with clear detail and good colour range. Backgrounds and shadows aren’t as distracting as well, making for a very clear business photo we could use in our offices.

Still, we do want to mention a few things to consider before committing to a photo session with Studio360 however.

For one, they charge additional fees for more extensive edits as well as an on-location setup for your business headshots in Dubai. Likewise, there’s also additional charges for urgent delivery in case you need the photos right away.

Normally, there’s around a day or two of processing time so we do recommend working around this in your schedule instead to help save on the final price.

It is quite pricey but, we think even just the basic package is sufficient enough to get very beautiful, professional-looking photos. If you don’t mind waiting for some time, then we definitely recommend giving Studio360 a try.

Pros

  • Amazing photo work and portraits
  • Good coordination with clients for poses

Cons

  • Processing takes a while
  • Business package is a bit pricey

Musthafa is a professional Dubai-based photographer working with a wide array of clientele and photography styles in Dubai.

They have worked with a good number of well-known names and businesses such as Maria Tash, Gucci, Alshaya Group, Alexander Mcqueen, and many others, which we think goes a long way in assuring interested clients.

In terms of speciality, Musthafa and their team are quite good at taking architectural photos, interior design photos, and even retail spaces and events.

Of course, we found their ability to take corporate headshots and business portraits to be excellent.

In our opinion, their use of lighting is quite decent regardless of the type of background used, whether it’s a clear colour or even the backdrop of an event space or building.

The team was quite good at directing poses too, resulting in a look that just feels confident and natural in our opinion. It was also very professional all throughout, and the team never felt condescending throughout the whole thing.

Being closed on weekends does mean that some clients might make it a bit challenging to schedule a session though. Likewise, it does take some time to finalise an overall schedule since the team is much smaller than other studios.

Overall though, this is a very strong choice for corporate portraits and headshots in Dubai. We highly recommend clients of all types to check them out.

Pros

  • Excellent headshot photos
  • Strong cooperation with client

Cons

  • Closed on weekends can be a bit inconvenient for some clients
  • Takes some time to finalise the schedule

Servicing both local and international clients, you can generally count on Imprint Studio for a wide array of professional photography and videography services in Dubai.

They have completed shoots for all sorts of events such as corporate meetings, launches, milestones like graduations, weddings, and more fixed shoots such as portraits and passport photos.

As such, we found ourselves quite happy with the selection of photo services and headshots, and we think they’re able to cover both rush orders and more focused requests.

Corporate headshots came out quite nicely, capturing a lot of nice detail and lighting in the frame.

However, we do wish they’ll give us a bit of time to really think of a decent pose to strike first. Some customers also felt a bit of a rush during their session.

They’re also able to accommodate shoots on-location though availability needs to be checked first. So in a way, we do think they can accommodate both the more professional, prepared studio shoot and one taken at an event.

We do want to note that processing takes some time as well, as with most photo studios. In our experience, they typically take around one or two days to finish the editing.

Overall though, the packages and photos are quite impressive for corporate headshots. We definitely recommend giving them a try.

Pros

  • Good selection of professional portraits
  • Impressive selection of different photo services

Cons

  • Processing takes some time to finish
  • Needs to provide a bit more time for a pose
