Question 1

Standard v/s Editorial Editing

Accepted Answer

Standard Editing includes essential corrections and refinements to ensure your images look polished and professional while maintaining a natural finish. This covers adjustments to color, lighting, and composition, as well as beauty retouching -  such as skin texture refinement, minor blemish removal. The goal is to elevate the image while keeping it authentic and true to life.

Editorial Editing, on the other hand, goes a level deeper and is typically used for magazine-style or campaign imagery. It includes all the refinements of standard editing, plus advanced retouching and photo manipulation, such as body reshaping, facial feature adjustments, tattoo or scar removal, background clean-up, and creative enhancements to achieve a high-fashion or commercial-grade result.

Question 2

How much do studios, makeup artists, and other add-ons cost?

Accepted Answer

Dubai has an incredible selection of studios - from minimal white spaces to high-end lifestyle sets. Once your booking is confirmed, I’ll share a curated PDF of studio options that align with our chosen creative direction and aesthetic.

Studio rentals typically start at AED 300 per hour, depending on the location, setup, and interior style.

For makeup, I work with a trusted network of artists ranging from emerging talents to advanced professionals who specialize in editorial and on-camera looks. Their rates generally range between AED 500 to AED 1,400 per look, depending on the artist’s experience and the complexity of the glam required.

Every project is customized,  so once we define your shoot direction, I’ll guide you toward the most suitable options for your budget and goal

Question 3

What are the usage rights and deliverables included in my package?

Accepted Answer

All Sculpt25 Creative photography packages are based on a shared usage policy - meaning both the client and the agency have the rights to use the final edited images for promotional and portfolio purposes. This shared model allows us to keep our creative fees accessible while still delivering premium results.

If, however, you require exclusive usage rights: where Sculpt25 would no longer be permitted to use the images or video content for our portfolio, website, or social media, a buyout fee of 60% of the total project value will apply to compensate for the loss of promotional value and long-term licensing rights.

Your deliverables will include professionally edited, high-resolution images (JPEG format) that meet your chosen package’s specifications. 
You’ll also have the option to purchase the full gallery at a small additional editing fee. Each image from the full gallery will receive basic retouching including color correction, lighting balance, and light skin polishing: to ensure consistency and uphold the studio’s brand standards. This ensures that every image carrying Sculpt25’s name maintains a polished, credible, and on-brand aesthetic.
