Individual Executive Headshots in Dubai for Leaders and Founders
Before anyone meets you, they’ve already looked you up. Your portrait is part of that first impression, whether it’s on your company website, a speaker bio, a press feature, or a proposal.
I’m Edu Cornejo, a Dubai photographer with 15+ years of experience creating corporate portraits for managers, directors, and business owners. My background in brand design and art direction means I think about how you want to be seen and what your image should say about your work, not only about lighting and angles.
The Individual Session Advantage
In a group session, everyone is photographed with the same lighting, the same setup, and a few minutes each. That works for team consistency. A personal session is built around you.
Lighting designed for your face
I shape the light to your features, skin tone, and clothing. The result is a portrait with depth and character, not the flat, even lighting of a standard team setup.
Time to get it right
You have an hour, not a few minutes in a queue. We will try different expressions, adjust small details, and review the results as we go.
Outfit changes and backgrounds
Bring up to three outfits and choose up to two background colours. A formal suit, a smart-casual option, and a lighter look can all work in one session, each suited to a different use: website, speaker bio, press, or social media.
Posing and expression coaching
I guide you through posture, angles, and expression, with small, natural adjustments. If you don’t enjoy being photographed, this is where it helps most, because you’ll look relaxed and confident, not stiff.
Portraits that fit your role and industry
Because of my background in brand design and art direction, I think about how you want to be perceived. A finance director, a founder, and a creative consultant need different images, and the session is planned around that.
Who this is for
This session is for professionals who want a complete, polished set of images they can use with confidence: new leadership roles, company rebrands, speaking engagements, media features, and anyone whose current photo no longer reflects where they are in their career.
It’s not a quick single-photo service. It’s a planned session designed to give you a set of images for every place you’re seen.
The Executive Portrait Session
Choose between my private studio and your own office. Either way, you get a planned one-hour session and a set of five professionally retouched portraits.
In the studio: AED 1,000
A centrally located private studio with a multiple choice of backgrounds.
At your office or home: from AED 1,200 (Dubai)
For leaders who don’t have time to travel. I bring a professional portable studio to your office or home, so you get the same quality without leaving your day behind.
Included in both:
A planning conversation before the shoot to agree on your goals, style, and wardrobe
Posing and expression coaching
Live image review during the session, so you approve the look before we finish
5 retouched images with a clean, natural, high-end finish
A private online gallery for viewing and selecting your images
Additional retouched images: AED 100 each

I had such a great experience working with Edu! From start to finish, everything felt smooth, professional, and surprisingly fun. I felt completely at ease throughout the shoot—something I haven’t experienced before. What really stood out was how comfortable I stayed all the way through. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s not only skilled but also brings out your confidence and ease, I highly recommend him!
