We had such a wonderful experience with our Travaya photographer during our photoshoot at the Colosseum in Rome! Our photographer was incredibly kind, welcoming and helpful, especially with our baby. We felt comfortable throughout the shoot and even had a lovely time chatting afterwards. The professionalism, talent and friendly approach made the whole experience even more special. We would recommend Travaya a hundred times over! Thank you for such a memorable experience! ❤️

Read moreTo say our experience was wonderful would be an absolute understatement—it was truly extraordinary! Having a two-day photoshoot across the city with our photographers was an unforgettable journey. Traversing the vibrant streets alongside such gifted professionals made exploring the city feel endlessly magical, dynamic, and inspiring. The photoshoot itself was a absolute dream. Both photographers were remarkably professional, exceptionally warm, and impeccably cooperative. Their natural warmth and expert guidance made us feel infinitely comfortable, effortless, and confident throughout every single moment of both days. They created an atmosphere of pure ease where we could simply enjoy the experience and be ourselves. As for the results? We are utterly spellbound! The photos are nothing short of breathtaking masterpieces—each frame captures the mood, elegance, and beauty of the city with phenomenal artistic flair and precision. We wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend booking through Travaya to anyone seeking a seamless, top-tier photography experience. It was truly an enchanting highlight of our trip that we will cherish forever!

Bring people into the moment you’ve been working towards
That photo might be the first thing a client sees in your update. It may sit beside a press release or help colleagues in another office understand what’s happening in Dubai. A little thought beforehand can make the pictures much easier to use when you’re ready to share the news.
For PR event photography in Dubai, start with what you want people to understand. Then tell the photographer about the announcement, the people taking part and the moment that matters. You can give them a clear direction without having to design every photograph yourself.
Start with what changes for your reader
Put that meaning into an ordinary sentence. You might be introducing a new way for clients to work with two teams, showing a new facility or celebrating a step that your colleagues helped make possible. It gives the photographer a better starting point than “we need some PR pictures”.
Then choose who the first update is for. A journalist needs to understand the announcement and the people involved. Existing clients may care most about what they can use. Your own team may want to see the colleagues whose work got you here. You can serve more than one audience, but knowing the first one helps you choose the main picture.
This also keeps the event photography connected to your business. You’re giving people a view of something that matters to them, with the celebration and the setting around it.
For a partnership, show the people and explain the purpose
There may be an exchange of documents, a signing or a planned picture together. Tell the photographer what will actually happen and when, including any short appearance by a particular guest. A few clear details help them follow the occasion without asking you to coordinate the camera while you’re taking part.
Give the photo a useful explanation afterwards. Say what the collaboration is about and what has been announced at this stage. A ceremonial picture cannot tell the reader whether a new service is already available, a project is beginning or the organisations are setting out an intention to work together. Your checked wording should make that clear.
If a discussion or demonstration is part of the event, you might like a photo of that too. Or you may want to include the team who will be doing the work, where the plan and sharing arrangements allow it. It can help you explain the work behind the announcement. Let the story follow what is actually happening, and the pictures will have a much clearer place in it.
For an opening or product announcement, let people see what’s new
Perhaps guests will take a short tour, meet the team or see a demonstration. Those moments can help explain why the opening matters to the business and its customers. If some areas are private or unfinished, mark that clearly in the plan. Our guide to opening ceremony photography in Dubai looks at the wider visit as well as the formal moment.
For a new product, think about the question a client would ask first: what is it, and what does it do? A photo of the reveal can mark the launch, while a closer view or a genuine demonstration can make the idea easier to understand. Share the correct product name and the feature that matters to this announcement.
Our product launch photography guide can help with that event plan. If you also need catalogue or online-shop images, mention those separately. Photos of a live launch and carefully prepared product photographs have different jobs, so it’s useful to discuss both rather than assume one covers everything.
Choose one main picture and a few useful alternatives
A large gallery can be lovely to look through later, but a journalist or busy colleague shouldn’t have to work out which picture you meant them to use. Keep the first set focused on the announcement and explain what each photo shows. A journalist can choose what fits their story, and your colleague has a clear starting point for the company update.
Tell the photographer where you expect the first pictures to appear. If your company website has a particular space for the main image, send an example. If your PR contact has requirements from a publication, pass those on before the event. A choice of views can help with different layouts, subject to what the occasion allows.
Keep the photo itself clear and useful. If you’re making a social graphic with a headline or other added design, keep the delivered photograph available as well. A media contact may need the photo on its own for the publication’s layout.
Keep the names and the story beside the photo
You can prepare most of that before the event. Ask someone who knows the participants to check it afterwards, in case a representative changed or the final picture includes a different group. A logo behind somebody is useful context, but it isn’t a reliable name badge or an explanation of their role.
Here’s a simple caption structure to adapt, using only details you have confirmed:
“[Name and role] of [company] and [name and role] of [partner company], from left, at [event and location] on [date]. The companies announced [brief, accurate explanation of the news]. Photo: [agreed credit].”
Adjust it to the actual people and occasion. A guest might be witnessing an exchange rather than representing one of the organisations, so say what their role really was. If the picture shows an announcement event before a service begins, keep that distinction in the caption too. The photo and the words should tell the same story.
Agree when the first pictures are needed
Build in the time your own team needs to check them. If two companies are announcing something together, find out who approves the picture and caption for each side. Receiving a photograph and having an approved announcement ready to publish are two different steps.
Travaya’s event page lists standard delivery as usually within 48 hours, depending on the scale of the event, with a paid 24-hour option. Delivery during the event itself needs its own confirmed arrangement. Share that requirement before setting the release time, so everyone can agree what is possible for your booking.
Our guide to event photo delivery timelines explains the choice between an early selection and the full gallery. If the announcement must remain private until a particular time, make clear who may receive the files beforehand and when they may be shared publicly. Keep the same instructions with the selected photos when you pass them on.
Give the news moment a place in the event plan
If there’s a signing, reveal or short visit, say when it begins and what follows it. An agreed moment for a group picture can be easier to fit before people head off to meetings or another part of the event. Let the people involved know about that plan too, so it feels like a simple part of the occasion.
Think about what you also want around the main moment. The team welcoming guests, a spokesperson answering a question or people exploring the new space may all add something useful. If two important things happen in different places at once, explain the priorities and discuss how to cover them.
You can leave the photographic details to the photographer. What helps most from you is the meaning of the announcement, the people, the timing and any limits on access or sharing. That gives everyone room to do their part well.
Make the selected pictures easy to pass on
Keep the photo and its caption connected, using matching file names or a short accompanying document that makes it obvious which is which. Add the agreed credit and a contact for questions. Check that the intended recipient can open and download the selected files, including any access or expiry settings on the way you share them.
Keep private event images separate from the selection meant for wider sharing. You don’t have to make the full gallery public to give someone a few useful news photos. Include any agreed restrictions or release time with the files, so the next person receives the same information as your team.
Commercial use by your company, event sponsors and participating event partners is included in Travaya’s event packages, including PR and press releases. Our guide to using event photos and sharing them with partners explains the included business uses. Keep any specific credit or other agreed requirements with the pictures too.
A short photography brief for your company announcement
“We’re announcing a collaboration at an event in Dubai. We’d like the first photos to introduce the two teams and help clients understand what we’ll be doing together. Our communications colleague will send the confirmed explanation of the news.
“Please prioritise the representatives together at the announcement and a few relevant alternatives from the occasion. We’ll share the names and roles, the latest programme, the venue arrangements and the person who can help with introductions on the day.
“We’re planning to share the announcement at [date, time and time zone]. Both companies need to check the chosen picture and caption first. Can we discuss an early selection for that plan, separately from the full event gallery, and confirm what is possible?
“We’ll provide the checked caption details and explain who may receive the selection before the public announcement. We’d also like some photos of the people and conversations around the event for later company updates.”
For an opening or a product announcement, change the subject and the pictures that help explain it. A clear brief gives the photographer your goal and gives you a useful starting point for the conversation, without needing a finished press release before you enquire.
Keep a little of the story for later
Keep the approved news selection somewhere your colleagues can find it, with the captions, date and any sharing instructions. If someone asks for a picture a few months later, you’ll know which event it came from and what had been announced at that point. That context helps an older photo stay accurate when it appears again.
The first news image and the later story don’t have to do the same job. One introduces the announcement; the others can bring people closer to the company behind it. With a little planning, the photos can support the announcement you’ve agreed and leave you with a lovely record of the step you took together.
Questions about photos for your announcement
Start with one clear photo that relates to the actual news, plus a few useful alternatives. Keep the names, caption details and agreed credit with them. If a journalist or PR colleague has particular requirements, share those with the photographer before the event.
Tell us the exact deadline and the pictures you need when enquiring. Delivery during an event requires its own confirmed arrangement. It’s a different timeline from the paid 24-hour option, and your team may also need time to check the picture and caption before publishing.
Name the people who will check the selection and agree how the final choice is confirmed. Include that step in your announcement plan, along with the caption and release time. Let the photographer know what your team needs before the event so delivery can be discussed around it.
Yes. Our event packages include commercial use by your company, event sponsors and participating event partners. That includes websites, social media, PR and press releases, presentations, internal updates, reports and printed materials, without extra licence fees for those uses. Keep any agreed guest preferences and announcement timing in mind when choosing your selection.
