UAE • Dubai + Abu Dhabi • Freelance
Join ShootEmpire Pro — an agency-style photographer network for freelance photography jobs and photography gigs across the UAE (primarily Dubai & Abu Dhabi). We acquire clients, manage bookings, and assign shoots.
Independent contractor/freelance network (not visa sponsorship). Shoots depend on demand.
We move fast and keep it simple. Most applications are reviewed within 48 hours.
Tip: a focused portfolio (10–30 strong images) helps us review faster.
For each booking, the client chooses a package. We typically pay photographers 50%–80% of the package price, depending on scope (shoot type, complexity, usage, travel, turnaround, and add-ons).

Note: payout is the amount we pay you for the shoot (your earnings for that project), not what the client pays.
Our photographer payout is typically 50%–80% of the client package price. The exact percentage depends on the project.
Important: we show you the exact payout before you accept a project.
We recruit photographers across all active ShootEmpire shoot types. You can specialize in one category or cover multiple.
Tip: if your portfolio matches high-demand categories (events, couples, interiors), you’ll usually get assigned faster.
