Backyard Studio provides fashion and e-commerce photography, reels, and fashion films across all seven UAE emirates — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain — bringing a genuinely fashion-trained eye to every shoot, since founder Fahad Iqbal is himself a fashion graduate from the UK. Every booking includes a written proposal, a pre-shoot styling and shot-list call, and fast turnaround suited to product launch and campaign deadlines.

What Is Fashion & E-Commerce Photography, Video & Reels?

Fashion and e-commerce content today spans three connected formats: photography built around styling and brand storytelling, short-form video and reels designed for Instagram and TikTok, and fashion films — a more cinematic, narrative-driven format used for campaign launches and brand storytelling. In the UAE's fast-moving retail and D2C market, brands increasingly need all three from a single shoot day — a still image for the website, a reel for social, and in some cases a full fashion film for the campaign push. Backyard Studio approaches this differently to a typical studio, because founder Fahad Iqbal trained as a fashion graduate in the UK before building the studio, which means the fashion sensibility on set isn't outsourced or borrowed — it's built into how every shoot is directed, styled, lit, and cut, whether the final deliverable is a photograph, a reel, or a fashion film.

Frequently Asked Questions

### How much does fashion and e-commerce photography and video cost in the UAE?

Fashion and e-commerce photography and video production in the UAE starts from AED 10,000 for a basic e-commerce product package, rising to AED 40,000 or more for a full fashion film campaign with a model, styling, and licensed music. Reels and combined photo-plus-video packages typically fall in the AED 16,000–30,000 range.

### What is included in an e-commerce photography and reels package?

A standard package includes white-background product shots, optional lifestyle images, 3–5 short vertical reels of the same products, basic retouching, and web-ready file sizing for platforms such as Shopify, Amazon UAE, and Noon.

### Can Backyard Studio deliver same-day or next-day content?

Yes. For straightforward e-commerce product shoots and reels, Backyard Studio can turn around edited, web-ready content within 24–48 hours, while fashion campaigns and fashion films with heavy retouching and grading typically take 5–7 working days.

### Do you handle model casting for fashion shoots and films?

Yes. Backyard Studio coordinates model casting, hair, and makeup on request, bringing the same fashion-trained direction founder Fahad Iqbal applies to styling, posing, and movement on every campaign shoot or fashion film.

### How far in advance should we book a fashion, e-commerce, or fashion film shoot?

Backyard Studio recommends booking at least one to two weeks in advance for e-commerce shoots, and three to four weeks for fashion campaigns or fashion films that require model casting, hair and makeup, styling, and scripting.

### Can you shoot a full apparel range in one session, including reels?

Yes. Backyard Studio regularly shoots full apparel ranges of 20 or more items in a single session, combining flat lay, ghost mannequin, and on-model formats with short vertical reels, so brands leave with a complete, consistent set of stills and video content for launch.

### What is a fashion film and how is it different from a reel?

A reel is a short, social-first video, typically 15–30 seconds, built for Instagram or TikTok. A fashion film is a longer, more cinematic piece — often one to three minutes — with narrative direction, scripted movement, and licensed music, used for campaign launches, brand storytelling, and website hero content rather than quick social turnover.

### What is the difference between fashion photography and e-commerce photography?

Fashion photography is styled and directed around mood, movement, and brand storytelling, often shot on a model in a creative setting and increasingly paired with reels or a fashion film. E-commerce photography is built for consistency and clarity — clean backgrounds, accurate colour, and standardised angles designed to help a customer make a purchase decision online.
