Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about e-commerce photography services in the UAE.
How much does e-commerce photography cost in the UAE?
Professional e-commerce photography in the UAE starts at AED 2,500 for 20 SKUs and scales to AED 12,000 for 100+ SKUs. According to the UAE's Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), the UAE has 91% internet penetration - one of the highest globally - driving massive demand for professional product imagery. The per-product cost decreases significantly with volume - from AED 125 per product on our Starter package to under AED 120 on Enterprise. Pricing depends on the number of SKUs, whether you need lifestyle shots in addition to white-background packshots, and turnaround speed. At Arka Studios, all packages include professional retouching and marketplace-compliant file exports for Amazon.ae, Noon, and Shopify.
Are the images Amazon.ae and Noon compliant?
Yes - every image is shot and exported to exact marketplace specifications as standard. Amazon.ae is the number one e-commerce platform in the UAE and requires pure white backgrounds (RGB 255,255,255), minimum 1000x1000 pixels (we deliver 2000x2000 for zoom), product filling at least 85% of the frame, no watermarks, logos, or additional text, and JPEG or PNG format. Noon.com lists over 20 million products on its platform and has similar requirements. We export platform-specific versions from every shoot so your listings go live without rejection or suppression.
How many products can you shoot per session?
A typical half-day session covers 20-30 simple products (packaged goods, cosmetics, electronics). A full-day session covers 40-60 products. According to Dubai Chamber of Commerce data, the number of new e-commerce trade licenses in Dubai grew by 44% between 2022 and 2024, reflecting the surge in online sellers who need professional product photography at scale. For larger catalogues of 100+ SKUs, we schedule multi-day shoots with a dedicated coordinator to manage product staging, shot lists, and quality control. We have photographed catalogues of 200+ SKUs in a single engagement for fashion brands, electronics distributors, and FMCG companies operating across the UAE.
Lifestyle vs white background - which is better for e-commerce?
Both serve different purposes and most successful e-commerce brands use both. White-background photography is required by Amazon.ae and Noon for the main listing image - it is clean, consistent, and lets the product speak for itself. Lifestyle photography places the product in a styled context (a skincare bottle on a marble counter, for example) and communicates brand feel, scale, and use case. According to Statista's UAE E-Commerce Report (2025), the UAE e-commerce market is projected to reach $8 billion, and research shows product pages with both image styles see 40% higher add-to-cart rates. Lifestyle images are essential for your website hero banners, social media, and advertising. Our Professional and Enterprise packages include both styles in a single session.
What is the turnaround time for e-commerce product photos?
Standard turnaround is 5-7 business days on our Starter package, 3-5 days on Professional, and priority 48-hour express on Enterprise. All timelines include full retouching, colour matching, and export to multiple formats. Files are delivered via a private cloud link with high-resolution originals, web-optimised versions, and marketplace-specific exports (Amazon.ae, Noon, Shopify). Express turnaround is also available as an add-on for Starter and Professional packages.
