About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Join Our Studio as a Photography Assistant
If you have a knack for colors, an eye for detail, and genuinely enjoy creating a welcoming space, our photography studio in the heart of Khor Fakkan wants to meet you. We’re searching for a full-time female Assistant who balances creativity with organization. This isn’t just about keeping the studio tidy—it’s about helping each shoot run smoothly, brighter, and more inspired than the last. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d love to see what you bring to the lens.
About Us
Nestled away from the city’s hustle, our studio is a close-knit team fueled by passion (and more than a few coffee breaks). We specialize in turning everyday moments into cherished memories—think family portraits, newborn sessions, and the occasional themed shoot that keeps things interesting. You’ll find us bouncing color palette ideas around or setting up props well past closing time, all with a lively spirit and genuine friendship. Friday mornings? That’s when we review favorite shots from the week—and maybe share a homemade treat or two.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Greeting and assisting clients—from first hellos to final goodbyes
- Helping set up and style each photo shoot: think color-coordinating props, backdrops, and outfits
- Keeping the studio spotless and organized (props, equipment, you name it)
- Picking up on last-minute details—making sure every corner is guest-ready
- Supporting the photographer with on-the-fly needs: steaming fabric, fixing lighting, or fetching that elusive prop
- Ensuring every guest feels comfortable, respected, and at ease during their visit
What You’ll Bring
- A warm, approachable personality—clients feel comfortable talking with you
- Experience in customer service or working with the public
- A great sense of color matching and an eye for stylish layouts
- Strong organizational skills—you notice the things others might miss
- Responsibility and reliability—you show up on time and see tasks through
- Well-presented and committed to bringing positive energy to work each day
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Stable, full-time role with a monthly salary of AED 1,500
- Supportive, friendly team—you’ll never be just another face
- A creative, dynamic studio environment where every day is a little different
- Room to grow your skills in styling, customer care, and photography
- Convenient location right in Khor Fakkan—no long commutes!
We believe work should be a place you look forward to. If you see yourself in our studio, we hope you’ll reach out!
