Mariya Harley is a London-based hotel photographer who works across Dubai and the UAE, delivering editorial photography and cinematic Reels for luxury hotels and resorts. Past UAE work includes Raffles Dubai (beach and grounds). A residency returns 20–30 retouched photographs, 2–3 Reels and full commercial usage rights.
Her audience advantage is specific to this market: 105K followers on @mariyaharleylife concentrated in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. For a Dubai property that wants both professional assets and reach into the regional luxury-travel audience, a single collaboration covers both.
Proof
A single two-night stay at Rixos Premium Dubrovnik produced 170K reach, 3,300 likes and 300 saves — alongside 20–30 retouched editorial photographs and 2–3 cinematic Reels the property keeps with full commercial usage rights. That is the model: professional assets your marketing team uses everywhere, plus distribution to an audience that is already planning luxury travel.
Frequently Asked
Mariya is based in London and travels to Dubai and the UAE for hotel commissions and residencies. Four to six weeks’ notice is ideal for international shoots. Her audience is concentrated in the Gulf, so a UAE collaboration reaches the regional market directly.
A standard package includes 20–30 retouched editorial photographs (suite, F&B, common areas, architectural details), 2–3 cinematic Reels of 15–30 seconds, Instagram Stories coverage with location tags and a booking link, plus full commercial usage rights for the hotel’s website, OTAs and brochures.
A full-day editorial hotel shoot in London typically runs £1,500–£3,500 depending on deliverables, usage rights and crew. Gifted collaborations — a two-night stay minimum — are available for boutique and luxury properties in exchange for editorial content, social distribution and full commercial usage rights.
Gulf travellers are among the highest-spending luxury guests in Europe and the Middle East. Mariya Harley’s 105K-follower audience on @mariyaharleylife is concentrated in Saudi Arabia (~43%), the UAE (~12%) and Qatar (~9%), so a collaboration puts a property directly in front of that exact market — something few UK-based photographers can offer.
