Dubai Flying Dress Private Photoshoot in the Desert

S. Jones

The atmosphere beautiful and the guys was working with us. They got the job done in no time it was really professionally should have bigger tents. That’s already set up for the photo shoot other than that. Everything went smooth and fast. I give it 10 out of 10 I will do it again.

Flying dress DON'T actually Fly!!

Not for groups more that 5. My experience was unpleasant, disappointing and definitely NOT worth the money. There was NO flying dress experience at all. The dresses were pinned down to the ground as we stood in the sand. There was no attempt to catch the wind so the dresses could "fly". The Floganza staff were completely OVERWHELMED and not prepared for a group of 35 women and 4 couples. There was no way 3 people could handle that group size. Several issues: 2-We got up extra early to rush to wait in the desert. We got off the bus, were loaded into ONE car to wait for dresses to be handed out. Please keep in mind the driver had to pickup everyone from the bus and drive passengers to the site, and complete this shuttling before he could hand out the dresses. Additionally, please note that the driver was the dress coordinator and one out of two photographers. 3-Once we all arrived onsite, it wasn't until then that they realized that several names were mixed up or missing from the list. 4-The dress selection was wrong (style and color), so they didn't have the appropriate dress for everyone. Alim (whom was identified as the supervisor or person in charge) stated the only solution available was that multiple ladies should wear the same dress Of course that made matters worst, as that is extremely gross and unsanitized. No self-respecting women would wear a dress another women sweated in. 5-We waited in line to get the "assigned" dress or in many case just what was available. Then again we had to wait to put on the dress. 6-There were no women onsite that worked for the Floganza company that could assist 35 women to dress properly. We were told to remove our bras. However the men that tied up the back of our dress didn't take the time to make sure breast were properly covered or secure. Many of us were of course largely endowed. Dresses were not properly fitted, therefore exposure happened that was extremely distasteful. Thank God I had the sense to wear the proper shaper because I asked but was told just something comfortable (wrong answer). Many women were not aware that would be required to take off their undergarments. 7-After we were dressed, we were then shuffled into another line and had to wait for each photographer. However you would have thought you could go from photographer 1 immediately to photographer 2 but if course they didn't arrange it that way at all. It was not a good feeling, standing and sweating in those dresses waiting unnecessarily. It took a 5 hour wait for a 5 minute photo shoot - make it make sense. 8-We were rushed thru the photo shoot with everyone doing the exact same thing/same pose. 9-The Floganza photographers were in such a rush to get through the shoot that they were not mindful of the dresses were exposing undergarments and private parts as we were told to remove bras but they didn't take any time to fully secure the dress fit. For a country big on women to be respectful and covered up, that was extremely disrespectful and distasteful. 10-We were told that "don't worry" your picture would be Photoshop. Yes professional touch should be expected, but I didn't pay $400 to be Photoshop - I could have done that for free at home. At the very least partial refunds are due to ALL the ladies.

Response from the operator: Dear Yolanda, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we genuinely appreciate the opportunity to respond and clarify a few key points. Floganza has been operating flying dress photoshoots for over six years, and we’ve had the privilege of working with large groups, including through trusted partnerships with major tour operators in Dubai. With over 300 verified reviews and a 5.0-star rating client satisfaction has always been—and remains—our highest priority. That said, we’d like to clarify a few important aspects of how group sessions are managed: 1. Dress Selection & Changes: For groups of this size, final dress selections must be confirmed well in advance. Last-minute changes are unfortunately not possible, as the logistics involve multiple departments—wardrobe, transportation, staffing—and a large number of dresses. While we always strive to accommodate personal preferences, any last-minute swaps would create serious delays and affect the entire group’s schedule. 2. Time Limitations & Lighting Conditions: We are shooting in the desert during specific “magic hour” time windows (sunrise or sunset), where the natural lighting is ideal for photography. This window is limited, and to ensure that each of the 37 women had their moment in front of the camera, our team had to optimize timing while maintaining quality. 3. Desert Transportation: Buses are not equipped to drive in sand dunes. Our 4x4 vehicles are specially modified, including tire deflation, to ensure safe desert access. This is standard across all desert tourism operators in the UAE and is crucial for safety. 4. Dress Flying Technique: The flying dress effect is based on a combination of natural wind and technical shooting methods. On calm days, we use strategic posing and movement to simulate the flying effect. Pinning dresses lightly in the sand is one such method used industry-wide to maintain dress shape and achieve flow in post-production. We cannot generate artificial wind in open desert areas, and this workaround has consistently delivered results when editing is applied properly. 5. Photoshop & Retouching: Every reputable photography company enhances images in post-production. This is not to “fix” the shoot but to highlight your beauty and ensure consistency, especially in challenging lighting or weather conditions. Our editing team retouches with care—removing distractions, correcting colors, and enhancing the dress movement—all in line with industry best practices. We remain committed to fairness. If you or your group organizer would like to have a conversation regarding your experience, we are open to discussing this further in private. Thank you again for your detailed feedback, and we do hope we get the chance to create a better experience for you in the future. Warm regards,
