Delivering Comprehensive Business Portraits for a Major Company in the UAE
I recently had the opportunity to undertake a significant project, conducting business portraits and staff headshots for a company with over 150 employees, spread across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. Collaborating with the Office Manager, we decided on two distinct styles for the portraits: a classic headshot against a grey backdrop and a more dynamic 3/4 length portrait featuring the iconic Dubai skyline.
The project spanned two weeks, during which I travelled to various office locations across the UAE. The aim was to capture professional portraits of the entire staff for a large corporation, which required careful coordination and flexibility to fit around the diverse schedules of each individual.
One of the key challenges in this project was ensuring that every employee was photographed without causing disruptions to their workday. It was crucial to maintain the daily flow of business while still achieving the desired outcome—portraits that reflect the professionalism and unique personalities of the staff, all while reinforcing the company’s cohesive brand identity.
The result was a comprehensive collection of high-quality portraits, consistent in style and tone, that presented each team member in their best light. These images were designed not only to meet the company’s immediate needs but also to serve as a long-term asset, enhancing their corporate communications and marketing materials.
For large corporations seeking to create a unified visual representation of their staff, this project demonstrates that it’s entirely possible to capture consistent, professional portraits while working around complex schedules. Understanding that such shoots often need to be spread over several days, I am well-equipped to manage logistics efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum productivity.
If your organisation is in need of a similar approach to staff photography, I would be more than happy to bring my experience and expertise to your next project.
