Photographer in Dubai
Vida Akbari is a photographer based in Dubai, shooting fashion, beauty, portrait and brand imagery for clients across the UAE.
Every shoot is treated like a film frame: considered light, real texture, and a look that stays consistent from the first still to the last delivered file.
Sessions run on location across the city, from Downtown and Marina rooftops to desert light an hour outside it, or in a controlled studio when the brief needs repeatable frames. Wardrobe, hair, makeup and assistants can be produced through Talentap Media, so a brand booking a single campaign day does not need to assemble a crew itself.
Most clients arrive with one of four needs: a fashion story, a beauty or skincare set, a portrait sitting, or a product catalogue. Each is quoted around a written shot list, so the number of looks, locations and final retouched frames is agreed before the camera comes out. Photography and video can be captured in the same booking when a campaign runs across web, print and paid social.
