The Good Stuff
CV help
Customers without a clear CV plan say the service includes practical ideas and suggestions to make the finished CV more attractive.
Visa photos
One customer said a visa photo accepted by the Amer Center portal worked on the first attempt after another studio’s version failed.
Phone editing
The studio can print a 2x2 photo taken on a phone and edit it to look freshly taken in the studio.
Careful finishing
For small locket-size prints, a reviewer noted that a dark image was brightened and the photos were cut to fit precisely.
Photo quality
Reviews mention crisp, professional-looking photos, with one customer specifically praising the colour and quality.
Custom gifts
Customers have mentioned personalised photo products such as mugs, T-shirts, water bottles, custom pillows and mobile cases.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check visa specs. For an Amer Center visa application, ask for a portal-ready photo; one review says the studio’s version worked in one go.
Bring your photo. You can bring a 2x2 image on your phone and ask for editing and printing rather than taking a new photo.
Confirm bookings. If you have a photoshoot appointment, confirm it shortly beforehand: one customer arrived to find the studio closed.
Check framing. Before leaving with a frame, verify the size against your photo; one customer reported receiving the wrong-size frame.
Ask about edits. For small or dark images, ask whether brightening and precise cutting are possible; a locket-print customer received both.

The Bottom Line
Kamal Photography Studio in Bur Dubai is geared towards practical photo-shop jobs rather than elaborate studio production. Customers come for passport, visa and passport-size photographs, CV making, document editing, printing and framing. The strongest pattern is speed: one reviewer received printed copies in less than 10 minutes, while another finished a resume in 20 minutes and a passport photo in five.
The studio is also useful when you do not have a ready-made image or polished CV. A customer brought a 2x2 photo on a phone and had it edited to look freshly taken in the studio. Another arrived with no idea how to build a CV and received help shaping a more attractive version.
Visa-photo accuracy is another practical draw; one review says a photo that had failed on the Amer Center portal elsewhere worked here on the first attempt. Reviews also mention photo frames, personalised prints and gift items such as mugs and mobile cases. Pricing is repeatedly described as affordable or reasonable, though no exact amounts are given.
There are two cautions: one customer received a wrong-size frame, and another said a pre-booked shoot was cancelled by the studio without timely notice. Confirm appointments and check finished items before leaving.
