Your next photoshoot is one video call away.
I'm Arslan Manzoor, a fashion photographer for over ten years, published in Photo Vogue, Grazia and Hello! magazine. For the last six I've been directing live shoots with models in their own homes and cities, across 30+ countries. You bring a phone and some light. I direct every pose, angle and frame.
No studio, no travel, no gear to buy. Edited photos in your private gallery within 7 days.

This image was shot remotely, the same way as every session I offer, and selected for Photo Vogue, Vogue Italia's curated platform for photographers.
Book your sessionSelected work
Every image here was shot remotely.
Bedrooms, hallways, balconies, beaches. The model was there. I was directing from the other side of the world.
Yes, you can do this
Your room is a better studio than you think.
Most of my shoots happen in ordinary rooms. A window, a desk lamp, an LED panel or a ring light all work. I'll show you where to stand, how to angle the light and how to move. You don't need any modelling experience.

The process
What happens, from booking to delivery.
Never done a virtual shoot? Here's every step.
01Choosing your session
Mini is a quick, low-cost way to try it. Signature suits most portfolios. Editorial is for a fully planned shoot with styling and more than one location. Not sure? Send me a message and I'll point you to the right one.
02Booking and payment
Choose a time on the booking calendar. It shows times in your own time zone. Pay securely by card to confirm, and you'll get an email with everything you need.
When you book, you'll also accept the Session Agreement. It covers how the photos can be used, your boundaries, and your rights. Every session uses the same one.
03Before the shoot
You'll receive a short prep guide. For Editorial and Campaign sessions we also agree a moodboard, outfits and locations, and do a quick test call.
- Outfits: bring two or three options per look
- Hair and makeup: done before we start
- Phone: charged, with some free storage
04Setting up your space
You need less than you think. Clear a small area and find your light: a window, table lamps, an LED panel or a ring light all work, and I'll help you get the most out of what you have. Something to rest your phone on helps, like a tripod or a stack of books.
05Joining the session
Before the shoot, I'll send you a link to the app I use for sessions, with simple setup steps. It takes a few minutes, and we'll check everything works before we start.
06On the day
I direct you live: where to stand, how to angle your body and face, where to move the light. You focus on the pose. I take care of composition and capture the frames. Outfit changes and short breaks are built in.
07Editing and delivery
Your edited, high-resolution images arrive in a private online gallery within 7 days, ready to download. Need them sooner? Add urgent delivery when you book.
08Using your photos
Your images are licensed for personal and portfolio use, including social media and agency submissions. Brands need a commercial licence, included with Campaign sessions. The full details are in the Session Agreement.

FAQ
What people ask before booking.
What is a virtual photoshoot?
A real photoshoot where the photographer isn't in the room. We connect live, I direct your poses, light and framing, and the images are captured on your phone's camera. You get edited, high-resolution photos, just like a studio shoot.
What equipment do I need?
A smartphone, a stable internet connection, and a light source: a window, lamps, LED lights or a ring light. A tripod helps but isn't required.
Is the quality good enough for a modelling portfolio?
Yes. Models and agencies use these images for portfolios and submissions. A modern phone camera, careful direction and professional editing produce results that hold up next to a studio shoot.
Do I need modelling experience?
No. I've been directing models for over ten years, including many first-timers. I'll guide every pose.
Can we shoot outdoors?
Yes. Streets, rooftops, parks and beaches all work with a mobile data connection. Editorial sessions include an outdoor setup.
How long until I get my photos?
Within 7 days. Urgent 72-hour delivery is available for every session.
Can an agency book several models?
Yes. Campaign packages cover multiple models, in one city or several. Book a free discovery call or send a message below.
What if I need to reschedule?
You can reschedule for free up to 24 hours before your session using the link in your booking email.
