Career in Photography
By Ladydawnmarie •
Hi,
My partner and I are studying our final year in photography based in Edinburgh.
We have been building a business and portfolio specialising mainly in fashion, beauty and commercial photography and are interested to know if there would be opportunities for developing a career within this sector in Qatar?
Our portfolios can be found here:
Fashion/Beauty:
General:
Any advice or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks and regards

Hi all, thank you for your responses to this question. I will continue my research!
Hi Dawn Marie
Qatar is not at all the place to set up business of this sort, rather the right place is DUBAI and u will quickly get connected to Local as well as International Business link in ur field, I do know most of Qatari, Saudi, Oman, Bahrain,Kuwaiti Companies get the things done from Dubai.
Also u can set up the business in Dubai without local sponsor, in free zone Area.
wish u very good luck.
I take only the desert...
Photography isn't prohibited here!
But Qatar most DEFINITELY is not the place to be for fashion photography...
There is some commercial work around, I pick and choose bits in my spare time as I have a fair bit of time off in my primary career but you are not going to make a killing from it thats for sure.
Plus there are all the problems of setting up a business in Qatar, such as the need for a local sponsor etc
It is possible but the opportunities in Europe would be far better I should think
P.S had a look at your portfolio, like your fashion work good stuff!
no
hai sar how r u ?
sad to say but photography business here in qatar is not in demand. taking photos are strictly prohibited.
