Dubai Autism Centre
arabianEye photographer Siddharth Siva recently did an amazing charitable photo shoot for Dubai Autism Centre, to support our initiative to helping charities visually brand themselves. Our client's feedback is the best reward: "This is to inform you that the photo shoot went very well and Siddharth was great. He was at the center with his assistant 7:30 in the morning and worked non stop till 3pm. He worked wholeheartedly and our team was so impressed with his dedication and patience. Please relay our sincere appreciation of all his efforts."

Unicef and World Food Programme
arabianEye and our photographers have been donating their time and images to both programmes throughout the years. We have organized photographers at events, stock images, as well as training programmes across the Middle East.

Start Charity
Start charity had a 5-day summer camp for children and special need children aged 11-16, the fifth day being an exhibition of the works created during the week. Different artists from various fields volunteered their time to participate in creating a workshop for the kids to learn more about a particular form of art.

arabianEye is unique in that it is a photo library focused on Arabian images. Everyone at arabianEye is incredibly accommodating and I often get the pictures I find so hard to find elsewhere.

In a market place where time is of the essence, every second counts. Quality and professional services are key and that is why we use arabianEye extensively. Their creative offerings are unique, backed up with a service second to none.

Antony Lawrence, TDIC, UAE
arabianEye have one of the best collections of Arabian images and portfolios of photographers anywhere in the Middle East. I find that they always have stunning and original photographs and are well connected with some of the top international and Dubai photographers. Whatever you want a picture of, they will either have it, commission it, or deliver it to you in the most professional and creative way they know how.

"I have used many different web search engines for stock images and I invariably come back to Arabianeye, the best place to find Arabs culture images…..”

Megha Abraham, Liquid Campaign, UAE
“My experience with arabianEye is relatively new; however what I do appreciate about their service is the proactive approach to creating an experience for their clients. Not only do they provide image services, but are extremely conscientious about updating their resources as well extending the arabianEye experience to events and dialogues with several themes, sectors and topics. This not only enhance our confidence in arabianEye's product, but also reinforce our confidence in their expertise. I'm looking forward to working with them for our future projects.”

‘Arabian Eye has offered us a very professional service, with image selections tailored to our needs for each of our projects that we have worked on with them. The staff have been really friendly and helpful and due to this and their professional work we’ll continue to use them for any Arabian style stock photography requirements, and I would recommend others to do so too’ overall we have been very happy with your services.

Mohammed Ansaihi, Red Impact, Saudi Arabia
"We lived on our thirst for arabian image library for too long. The MENA advertising industry, specially in the Gulf area, has evolved, and clients are becoming more demanding, the audience want to see relevant ads, relevant imagery, in a local context. We have been using stock images from international libraries and then retouching, "Arabizing" the talents... you creatives can understand how frustrating is the image alteration. So going for photoshoot was the ideal solution, for which only few clients pay.

Cheer up chaps, the scenario has changed few years ago, since I received on my desk a brochure of ArabianEye.. I was curious to see what's inside, et Voilà! images of Arabs, kids, adults, parents, lifestyle, props, locations... everything I was dying to present to my clients! I wouldn't say they are the first to shoot local images, but YES, they are definitely the first to shoot them with style! This is not everything that makes ArabianEye.com my favorite online library. The sense of commitment from their staff is really high. I usually sign in to search to enjoy all the features offered in their interface; but if I close my browser without downloading anything, I get a phone call almost immediately: "Hello Mr. Mohamed, this is Arabianeye..." I almost see a smile on the handset.. they propose help, send me lightboxes with images close to what I'm looking for, and inform me of their latest news...

I never felt closer individuality from other service providers, specially image libraries, and that's why I will always recommend this website."

Satyen Adhikari , Ogilvy One Middle East, UAE
"It was a wonderful as a creative to see the team from Arabian Eye right from the producer, stylist, make up artist to the photographer show great enthusiasm in turning around a tricky brief on a tight schedule with time to spare. Everything from the PPM, casting and the shoot itself went like clockwork and I was really pleased with the end result. Looking forward to my next project with the team. Honestly, great stuff guys.
