22.12.2025
In the era of visual content, a high-quality photo shoot becomes not just a pleasant memory, but also a tool for self-expression. ​Dubai, with its contrasting landscapes and futuristic architecture, has long been one of the world's main locations for photography. ​More and more travelers and bloggers are planning car photo shoots, because the combination of luxury cars and impressive backgrounds allows you to create truly cinematic shots.

BKF‑Auto ​helps to turn such ideas into reality. ​We offer a wide range of cars for shooting and advice on organizing the process – from selecting a model to recommending locations. ​With us, your photo shoot will be a pleasant adventure, not a troublesome event.

The best car models for photo shoots in Dubai

Choosing a car is a key stage in preparation. ​The car should not only look impressive, but also harmonize with the concept of shooting and the background. ​Let's consider the most popular categories.

Electric cars: Tesla Cybertruck Beast

The Tesla Cybertruck Beast electric car ​is a bright choice for photography. ​Its design immediately catches the eye: the strict angles and laconic lines look futuristic. ​

In Dubai, this car fits perfectly into any landscape. ​Next to the skyscrapers, the Cybertruck Beast emphasizes the modern city. ​

If you want contrast, go to the desert. ​Against the backdrop of sand dunes, the metal body of the car looks particularly unusual. ​The spaciousness and smooth lines of the landscape emphasize the angular silhouette of the car.

With Tesla Cybertruck Beast, it's easy to take a modern and memorable photo. ​The car catches the eye and makes the shot spectacular without unnecessary details.

Luxury supercars: Ford Mustang, Dodge

Luxury supercars are a great option for bright and dynamic photos. ​​The Ford Mustang ​​and ​​Dodge ​​immediately attract attention and make the shot more expressive.

The Ford Mustang is recognizable by its aggressive silhouette. ​​In the city, it looks best on wide roads and avenues. ​​If you shoot it against the background of high-rise buildings or along the embankment, you will get a spectacular shot: the architecture will emphasize the sporty character of the car.

The Dodge looks more massive and brutal. ​​Its large radiator grille and impressive silhouette immediately catch the eye. ​​In an urban environment, such a car looks good next to large buildings or industrial facilities - so it looks even more powerful.

Both cars look great in motion. ​​If you shoot them with a tracking shot (when the camera moves after the car), you can convey a sense of speed.

Classic convertibles: Ford Mustang

The open top of the convertible provides ample opportunities for creative shooting. ​The Ford Mustang convertible ​successfully combines retro charm with modern aesthetics and can be used in different urban locations in Dubai.

Premium‑SUV: Cadillac, BMW X7, Audi Q3

Premium SUVs are perfect for elegant and high-status shoots. ​Their thoughtful design and solid appearance work for the image in any location.

The Cadillac Escalade in the desert contrasts with the sandy landscape due to chrome parts and massive body lines. ​It conveys the idea of “luxury in extreme conditions” well.

In the city, it looks impressive against the background of glass facades and wide avenues. Suitable for glamorous shoots – for example, at luxury hotels or shopping centers.

The BMW X7 ​in the desert demonstrates spaciousness and comfort even in off-road conditions. ​Against the background of the dunes, it emphasizes reliability and readiness for travel. ​The angles with the doors ajar look good - they focus attention on the spacious interior.

In the city, it is versatile for different subjects. ​Suitable for family or business shots.

The Audi Q3 ​in the desert, thanks to its compact size, is not lost in space, and the laconic design creates a balance between modernity and natural aesthetics. ​It is good for minimalist shots where clean lines and the play of light are important.

In the city, it easily fits into the urban landscape. ​Its restrained elegance is appropriate both in historic neighborhoods and in modern areas with high-tech architecture.
AUDI Q3
General tip: ​When shooting in the city, choose locations with contrasting backgrounds (for example, concrete structures next to green areas) to emphasize the lines of the car. ​In the desert, focus on the interaction of the car with the landscape.

Tips for organizing a photo shoot with a rental car

To ensure that your photo shoot with a rented car goes smoothly, it is important to consider several key points in advance.

When organizing a car photo shoot in Dubai, it is worth carefully considering the time of day. The best option is the “golden hour,” which is the hour before sunset. At this time, the light becomes especially soft, expressive long shadows appear, and the colors in the photos turn out rich and natural.

Early morning is another good alternative. At this time, there are fewer tourists at popular locations, and the panoramas look clean and unclouded. If you want to experiment boldly, try shooting the car at night. The neon lights of Dubai create striking contrasts and give the shots a dramatic atmosphere.

To rent a car from BKF-Auto, you will need a minimum set of documents. You will need a passport, an international driver's license, and a credit card to make a deposit. We have made sure that the process is as comfortable as possible for our customers: you will be provided with a complete set of documents, including insurance and a rental agreement.
