Shoot at golden hour
Schedule sunrise or late-afternoon sessions for softer light, less heat, and fewer crowds near major landmarks.
Mind local etiquette
Wear modest clothing in conservative areas and ask permission before photographing people in traditional dress.
Hydrate and shade up
Bring water and a brimmed hat—urban shoots can still expose you to strong sun between locations.
Secure permissions for private sites
If you want interiors (Burj Khalifa) or certain beaches, check access and permits ahead of time to avoid last-minute changes.
Camera with interchangeable lens
A DSLR or mirrorless body with a 24–70mm or 35mm prime covers portraits and cityscapes.
Extra batteries & memory cards
Heat and long shooting sessions drain batteries—bring spares and plenty of storage.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen)
Essential for daytime shoots in exposed beach or desert locations.
