Photo shoot production in Egypt
Production services for foreign photography teams working in Egypt. We produce shoots for magazines, fashion houses and brands: from a small team at the pyramids at sunrise to a full campaign with art department, talent and hair and make-up.
What we handle
Location permits, including heritage sites. Location scouting with references. Local photographers' assistants, lighting crew and equipment. Casting, models, stylists, hair and make-up. Transport, accommodation and catering for the team.
Shoots we have produced
Elle Magazine at the Giza pyramids, magazine shoots for Escada, a fashion agency shoot for Hunter Gatti, and a photographic commercial for Shell. Small teams move fast in Egypt when the permits and timings are planned in advance.
Light and timing
Egypt has strong sun most of the year. Sunrise and the last hour of light at the pyramids and in the desert are the most requested slots, and heritage sites have fixed opening hours, so we build the call sheet around both.
