Skincare · Dubai
Creams, serums and cleansers, texture and skin, shot at campaign standard.
Skincare is sold on texture and trust. A cream has to look rich enough to touch, a serum has to look clean and active, and skin on camera has to look healthy and real, not plastic.
I photograph skincare for brands that need both sides of the story: the product and its texture, and the skin it is made for. Work includes Sephora Middle East's Skincare Savvy and Cleansers campaigns, Royal Fern, Peacefull and Glow & Lovely, plus AI key visuals for Royal Fern's PN serum. Formerly Lead Photographer at Huda Beauty's global headquarters, based in Dubai since 2012.
Creams, serums, cleansers, masks and SPF. Texture smears, swatches, drips and lather. Ingredient flat lays. In-hand and on-skin shots. Beauty with models applying product. Routine and regimen sets for e-commerce and social.
In skincare, the texture shot often sells more than the packshot. Creams are smeared and swirled, serums dropped and dripped, cleansers lathered on skin, all styled by hand on set. When bulk product is not available for a shoot, I recreate the texture so the image still reads true to the formula.
Sets, surfaces and ingredient props are prepared in advance, so the product, its texture and its key ingredients tell one clear story.
On-model skincare needs skin that looks healthy and believable. Light is kept soft and controlled, and retouching cleans without erasing texture, so the result still feels like real skin. Hair and makeup are aligned to the brand before the shoot, and the same light carries through the product shots so the campaign reads as one set.
Send the products, the key ingredients and where the images will run, and I will come back with an approach and a quote.
Brief and references first, so the look is agreed before anything is lit.
Styling, set and props prepared for the product.
Shooting to a locked art direction, with angles and lighting held consistent across the set.
Retouching and compositing in-house.
Final delivery in the formats you need, with usage rights agreed up front. Clear on what a campaign shot needs versus a clean e-commerce set, and priced to match the work, not by the row.
High-resolution files ready for print, campaign, social and e-commerce. Full commercial usage agreed at the start, no hidden licensing later. Turnaround set to the project.
Skincare launches often sit next to makeup, fragrance and campaign imagery with models. I shoot all of it to the same standard. See product photography, beauty photography and perfume photography in Dubai.
For teams producing at volume, I also offer AI-assisted production for backgrounds, colourways and campaign variations, built on the same shoot and art direction. It is an option for speed and scale, not a replacement for the photography. Ask if it fits your project.
DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH SKINCARE PRODUCTS IN DUBAI?Yes. Creams, serums, cleansers, masks and SPF, as product still life, texture shots and on-model campaigns, for brands based in Dubai and across the region.
WHICH SKINCARE BRANDS HAVE YOU WORKED WITH?Sephora Middle East (the Skincare Savvy and Cleansers campaigns), Royal Fern, Peacefull and Glow & Lovely.
CAN YOU SHOOT TEXTURE SWATCHES AND SMEARS?Yes. Smears, swirls, drips and lather are styled by hand on set, and when bulk product is not available I recreate the texture so the image still reads true to the formula.
DO YOU SHOOT SKINCARE WITH MODELS?Yes. Beauty with models applying or holding product is a core part of my work, with soft, controlled light and natural retouching that keeps real skin texture.
HOW IS A SKINCARE SHOOT PRICED?Every project is quoted to the brief, based on the number of final retouched images, the set and styling, and the usage the brand needs. Send the products and the brief by email or WhatsApp for a quote.
