What is included in a standard marketing photography package?
Packages vary depending on your school's needs, but typically include a set number of shoot days per term or per year, a guaranteed minimum number of edited images, and agreed turnaround times. All packages include pre-shoot briefing, full post-production editing, and delivery via private online gallery. Get in touch to discuss a package built around your specific brief and budget.
Is a retainer or a one-off shoot better value for schools?
For schools that need regular content throughout the academic year — for social media, newsletters, admissions campaigns and events — a retainer arrangement almost always offers better value than booking individual shoots. It also gives you guaranteed availability at the times that matter most, including key events that can be difficult to book at short notice.
Do your packages include video as well as photography?
Combined photography and video packages are available. If your school needs both stills and filmed content — for example, a prospectus shoot combined with a brand film — a combined package is more cost-effective than commissioning them separately and ensures visual consistency across all your content.
How do schools typically use their image libraries?
Most schools use their image library across website pages and news sections, social media channels, printed prospectuses and brochures, digital advertising, open day presentations, and staff recruitment materials. I can advise on how to structure a shoot day to ensure the images you need for each of these are covered.
Can packages be scaled up or down during the academic year?
Yes. I work flexibly with school marketing teams and can adjust the scope of a package if your needs change. Schools going through a rebrand, website refresh or new prospectus cycle often need a more intensive period of photography, and packages can be structured to reflect that.
Do you work with schools outside Abu Dhabi and Dubai?
Yes. While I'm primarily based in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, I work with international schools across the UAE and the wider Middle East and Asia region. Travel costs for shoots outside the UAE are discussed and agreed in advance.
