1. Studio 360

RATING
FACILITIES	★★★★★ (5/5)
PHOTOGRAPHY	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
⮕ EXPERTISE	★★★★★ (5/5)
⮕ VARIETY	★★★★☆ (4/5)
CUSTOMER SERVICE	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
⮕ PROFESSIONALISM	★★★★★ (5/5)
⮕ COMMUNICATION	★★★★☆ (4/5)
ACCESSIBILITY	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)

With over 15 years of experience under their belt, Studio 360 has steadily grown to be a reliable photography partner in Dubai. Their team of professional photographers and videographers are able to accommodate a wide range of clients and occasions.

They’re good at working with clients for all sorts of shoots ranging from fashion, ad campaigns, events, and even for smaller clients like family photography.

Some customers did report that they don’t usually accommodate quick shots for rush IDs or other related applications. We think it’s a little unfortunate but they do have a steady backlog of requests during most of our visits.

Clients can book their family portraits package both for a studio shoot or at a location the client prefers. Although, this does require a bit more advance notice in order to conduct the shoot properly.

Beyond that though, the session was smooth sailing. The team was good at directing their subjects and coming up with compositions that fit what the family was going for.

They provide a good number of prints for keeping and you can even take additional shots albeit, with additional payment. Prints were also done reasonably fast, being delivered to clients at a timely manner in our opinion.

We also found the store to be easy enough to visit though some customers do report the place opening late at times. This occurred even though the client called prior to arriving at the location.

We think better communication can be made on this front, especially when it comes to customers who do like calling ahead.

Overall, though, the studio is a good start when taking memorable family photographs either at home or at a venue. We highly recommend checking out their services in Dubai.

Customer Reviews

I’m pleased with the results and would highly recommend

“I had a great experience with Josh and Studio360 when I decided to have some professional headshots taken. Their website and previous reviews led me to reach out and I found Josh to be extremely helpful and easy to work with. I’m pleased with the results and would highly recommend.” – Mark Lineberry

Fantastic pictures and lighting

“Great experience and Josh was fantastic and professional. Fantastic pictures and lighting. Any one need any Social Media pics, then he is the guy to go to in Dubai. Would definitely recommend him!” – Shahir

2. Stu Studios

RATING
FACILITIES	★★★★★ (5/5)
PHOTOGRAPHY	★★★★★ (5/5)
⮕ EXPERTISE	★★★★★ (5/5)
⮕ VARIETY	★★★★★ (5/5)
CUSTOMER SERVICE	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
⮕ PROFESSIONALISM	★★★★★ (5/5)
⮕ COMMUNICATION	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
ACCESSIBILITY	★★★★☆ (4/5)

Providing a range of services across different disciplines and market segments, Stu Studios has become a go-to place for common photography needs in Dubai.

They are primarily known for their commercial photography, business photoshoots, and even their family portraits in Dubai. They also offer their services to schools, photographing over 150,000 students across many schools in the Middle East.

Within their family portrait work, we like that they also include pets, occasions like birthdays and parties, and even maternity photos. In a way, they can easily serve as a good provider for nearly all milestones you reach with your loved ones.

They can accommodate clients at their preferred locations and we particularly like how well they’re able to direct kids. The team is quite friendly, allowing smaller children some degree of expression while still fitting them in the photo’s composition.

We think this makes them a good studio for larger families with a lot of smaller kids. They could likewise be a good match for schools or daycares.

Composition is quite good as well, with a number of different backgrounds and props at the studio. They’re also quite good at using the natural lighting in the event the client prefers to shoot somewhere else.

For larger events though, we did find that they did take a while to send the quote over. Some customers did report waiting around two to three days before they’re able to get a price estimate.

Still, we do recommend using Stu Studio for family portraits in the area. Their expertise on composition and working with kids can be quite helpful in taking really memorable shots.

Customer Reviews

The images that were delivered were just magical

“They were shooting at our house and were super patient with our son, who happens to be on the autism spectrum, but the images that were delivered were just magical. THANK YOU Team Stu Williamson 5 out of 5.” – Sascha Winter

Hardest part is reducing what they’ve shown to what you want to print

“Great team, great photography. For family portraits you cannot go wrong using these guys. 1 hour shooting, then visit the following week to review pics. Hardest part is reducing what they’ve shown to what you want to print!” – Yann Decaix

3. Blue Eye Picture Studio

RATING
FACILITIES	★★★★★ (5/5)
PHOTOGRAPHY	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
⮕ EXPERTISE	★★★★★ (5/5)
⮕ VARIETY	★★★★☆ (4/5)
CUSTOMER SERVICE	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
⮕ PROFESSIONALISM	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
⮕ COMMUNICATION	★★★★★ (5/5)
ACCESSIBILITY	★★★★★ (5/5)

With an experienced team of photographers ready to take on most tasks, Blue Eye Studio is able to offer a wide range of photo-related services to different clients across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other cities in the UAE.

They are known for taking a number of wedding styles, corporate events, and even family portraits within the city.

Photos are generally good but we did find their services to be quite limited. While they do take family photos, they generally don’t accommodate certain requests such as product shoots.

For their family portraits, we found them to be quite proficient at coming up with creative shots that involve family members, even if they’re very energetic kids. Most customers appreciate their patience when it comes to nailing the client’s preferred picture.

We can also see how they’re able to apply their experience in wedding photography styles to the different angles and poses they took for the client.

In our opinion, they’re quite efficient when it comes to scheduling with clients too. We found them to be generally open to reasonable schedules and in some cases, even location changes according to some customers.

They do open up their storefront quite late at times. While we personally didn’t experience it, some customers did report arriving at the studio only to find it closed, opening just a bit later.

So while they may not have the largest product portfolio, we think Blue Eye Studio’s ability to work with younger family members and offer a comfortable experience makes them a good business to try out for your next portrait.

Customer Reviews

They make you feel comfortable, and they make shooting easy for you

“The best photography studio in town. They make you feel comfortable, and they make shooting easy for you. In my case it was for some corporate photos that were wonderful, both the execution and the edition. Super recommended!  I will repeat for sure.” – Maria Torrecilla Gómez

Pictures turned out great and were edited in a short time

“Very professional and flexible, we had to go the day before the appointment and they kindly accommodated us. Pictures turned out great and were edited in a short time.” – Joanne Proudian

4. Scheherazade Photography

RATING
FACILITIES	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
PHOTOGRAPHY	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
⮕ EXPERTISE	★★★★★ (5/5)
⮕ VARIETY	★★★★☆ (4/5)
CUSTOMER SERVICE	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
⮕PROFESSIONALISM	★★★★★ (5/5)
⮕ COMMUNICATION	★★★★☆ (4/5)
ACCESSIBILITY	★★★★★ (5/5)

Taking a different approach to most businesses, Scheherazade Photography leverages their experience in capturing more casual family, maternity, and even newborn photos in Dubai.

They start with a pre-shoot phone call or text consultation as well as a questionnaire in order to get a good idea of what the family is like and what to expect. This is typically done in order to help them deliver a more personalised experience.

From our experience, this does work out well. A lot of customers reported being satisfied and happy with the energy and photo compositions the photographer brings to the shoot.

Families with kids also noted their skill at getting children to join in without coming across as forceful or unpleasant. In our opinion, this does give them a lot of leverage when it comes to other services like maternity and newborn photo shoots.

However, they aren’t quite the one-stop shop for photography needs. It’s not exactly a studio that specialises in other things like big events and product launches.

They also took quite a bit of time to send the estimated quote after the initial call. It’s not too bad in our opinion, taking around two days, but busier people may want to keep this in mind.

Scheherazade does finish their prints fast, which we think is very beneficial for those who wish to get their photos right away.

It’s not a very big operation, but Scheherazade Photography does lend well to those looking for more casual and candid shots. So if this is something that interests you, it’s definitely a studio we recommend.

Customer Reviews

Waited patiently while I fed our baby, pacified her and put her to sleep so we could continue with the shoot

“We booked Scheherazade for a photoshoot at home with our 1 month old. She made the whole experience so comfortable for us! Waited patiently while I fed our baby, pacified her and put her to sleep so we could continue with the shoot.” – Sana Khan

The booking process was the easiest, draft images received very quickly and final pictures received promptly

“My maternity session was beautifully captured. The booking process was the easiest, draft images received very quickly and final pictures received promptly.” – Faiza Ameen

5. Mirrorless Photography Studio

FACILITIES	★★★★★ (5/5)
PHOTOGRAPHY	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
⮕ EXPERTISE	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
⮕ VARIETY	★★★★★ (5/5)
CUSTOMER SERVICE	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
⮕ PROFESSIONALISM	★★★★★ (5/5)
⮕ COMMUNICATION	★★★★☆ (4/5)
ACCESSIBILITY	★★★★☆ (4.5/5)

With over 25 years of experience in the field, Mirrorless Photography Studio offers a wide range of work for both residential and commercial clients within Dubai.

Their team of photographers are known for taking good family portraits, doing corporate shoots, handling product photography for launches, and even some videography work for advertising or non-commercial use.

Within their suite of family portrait services, they can accommodate whole families, cake smash events, and even maternity shoots for clients. They even have seasonal offers that include a free video shoot for these events from time to time.

As for the service, everything went by smoothly in our opinion. Huma was very professional at communicating and directing our family members to compose the shot.

As a result, we think the shoot went by smoothly enough for our standard family shoot, with everyone managing to get their time in the spotlight.

Other customers report a similar good and friendly service. People who opted for a newborn shoot also attested to receiving a comfortable experience for their baby.

The pictures themselves are quite good but due to the large volume of clients the studio works with, we did find their printing to be a bit on the slow side among the other businesses on the list.

Some customers also report some long hold times on the phone when they call. We haven’t personally had a problem on this front but more cautious prospects may want to keep this in mind at first.

Their decent array of services and the professionalism shown by the team does give Mirrorless a lot of benefits in the industry. We recommend checking their services out, even for other photoshoots in Dubai.

Customer Reviews
