The Good Stuff
Patient Sessions
Some photographers spend extra time refining shots; one session lasted over an hour instead of the expected 20–30 minutes.
Family Friendly
Reviews describe patient staff with children, including a baby session where music and play helped the child relax.
Fast Turnaround
Several customers received images immediately, the same night or within two days, though delivery experiences vary.
Pet Friendly
A pet session was described as efficient and quick, with staff treating the customer’s dog kindly.
Helpful Selection
Staff have helped customers choose the strongest image after the shoot, which is useful when many photos turn out well.
Basement Parking
One review specifically noted that basement parking was available.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Requirements. For visa or Emirates ID photos, confirm the official hair and ear requirements before the shoot to avoid a rejection and repeat fee.
Clarify Extras. Before booking, ask whether cropping, extra selected images or digital edits cost more; one family review mentions 70 AED for each extra.
Confirm Delivery. Agree on the editing and delivery date in advance, since reviews range from same-day delivery to missed deadlines.
Request Originals. If you need raw files or control over retouching, ask about access and editing options before paying.
Use Parking. If you are driving, check the basement parking; one customer specifically mentioned it as a practical plus.
Allow Time. A short headshot booking may run longer if you want more options, so avoid scheduling something immediately afterward.

The Bottom Line
800 Photos Studio in Al Barsha is most often used for professional headshots, corporate pictures, family photography and official ID images. Reviews repeatedly describe photographers who guide posing patiently, which matters if you feel awkward in front of a camera. One customer had so many good headshots to choose from that selecting the final images was difficult; another said staff helped with that choice.
Family sessions also receive warm feedback. Customers describe patient teams working with small children, a baby being settled with music and play, and a pet session handled quickly and kindly. The studio has also been used for a silver headshot package and last-minute headshots, with some edited images arriving the same night or the next morning.
There are important caveats for official photos and larger assignments. One visa/Emirates ID photo was rejected twice over hair covering the ears, while other reviews mention extra cropping or image fees. Delivery is not consistently praised: some customers received images immediately or within two days, but others reported missed deadlines and rushed family-photo edits.
Confirm official requirements, turnaround, included edits, selected-image limits and raw-file access before paying. Drivers may find the mentioned basement parking useful.
