Rates
International Rates:
Rates are dependant on what type of shoot is required, how many days I'm required for and where in the world it will take place. For international shoots, please
get in touch via Michael's CONTACT page.

Mini Shoots:
You've thought about modelling, but not sure if it's for you? You don't want to spend lots of money on a portfolio shoot ? The MINI SHOOT is perfect for you! This
is shot at Michael's studio. It includes around 45 minute to an hour of shooting. You'll be permitted to make upto 3 dress changes and then given a selection of 15 edited images. In addtion, if you're new to modelling, Michael will assess your look and offer you advice, what direction to take and what agencies are open to your look. Once you've made the choice to have a go modelling you can look at doing a portfolio package, described below, to further develop your own portfolio and experience. PLEASE NOTE THE MINI SHOOT DOES NOT INCLUDE MAKEUP - most models doing this shoot do their own hair and makeup. If you'd like one the cost for one is Dhs400 for a minishoot
Mini Shoots are are open to anyone, including children who are often used by Michael's agencies and clients for advertising and commercial projects.
Price: Dhs600
