Cover-grade portraits
Editorial portraits with a point of view.
You need more than a polished face. You need a frame that tells people who they are looking at before they read the first line.
Shape the brief
What I need before I confirm the shoot.
01
Where the portrait will appear
02
The story, mood, and references behind the frame
03
The crops and formats the final image needs
The problem
Polished can still feel forgettable.
A generic portrait may look clean and still say nothing. Your image needs enough direction, shape, and personality to hold attention without turning you into someone else.
The result
Get the magazine look. Keep your likeness.
I build the visual direction before the shoot, guide you through every frame, and review the work with you on iPad. The final edit stays cover-grade and still looks like you.
Before you book
Questions worth answering.
Do I need to arrive with a full concept?
No. Tell me the story and where the image needs to work. I build the visual direction from that brief.
Will the edit still look like me?
Yes. My standard is magazine-grade retouching that still looks like you in the mirror.
What if the portrait is not right?
If I do not get the shot on set, I reshoot. No charge.
Where the photos go to work.

Usage and licensing
Tell me where the portrait will appear, who will publish it, and how long it needs to work. I confirm the usage and licensing included before I quote the brief.
Dubai logistics
Send the Dubai location, timing window, team involved, and the visual references. I confirm whether the location and setup fit before booking. Any location approval required for the brief must be confirmed before the date.

The plan
Three steps. No guessing.
01
Tell me the story
I start with a 15-minute mood board call so the shoot has a clear job.
02
See it on set
I direct the session and review the frames with you on iPad before you leave.
03
Put it to work
Your approved photos reach your inbox in 48 hours.
You already know what the next photo needs to do.
Tell me where it needs to work. I'll build the shoot around that job.
If I do not get the shot on set, I reshoot. No charge.
