FAQ

Is it possible for you to do a photo shoot at my resort?

Certainly, but please note that each resort has its own policy regarding photoshoots. While some resorts may readily accommodate your request, others might require additional arrangements or discussions. It's essential to check with your resort about their policy beforehand, as it may also involve considerations like providing food and accommodation for the photographer. Ultimately, it's important to remember that it's your holiday, so ensure the shoot aligns with your plans and preferences.

Who will be taking my photographs?

Typically, I operate as a solo photographer, but for bigger projects, I will assess the requirement for extra support before finalizing the booking. My clients' comfort is of utmost importance to me, and I take it seriously. I understand that some individuals may prefer a female photographer, and I aim to create a relaxed and comfortable environment during our sessions. After all, when you feel at ease, we can capture you at your best.

How can one access the Maldives' serene resorts?

The Maldives is renowned for its private and secluded resorts, spread across a vast area of 90,000 square kilometers, encompassing 1,192 islands, with approximately 150 resorts. The primary logistical concern for resort photoshoots is transportation. While domestic airports are available throughout the country, there is no public transport to private resorts. Hence, permission and arrangements for transportation to most resorts will be required, which typically falls under the responsibility of the client. To ensure a smooth experience, it is advisable to inquire with your resort about the transportation options and arrangements.

What kind of packages do you offer?

The details of the packages are tailored to each client and can be determined by completing the inquiry form. I offer a versatile range of photography services, including indoor/outdoor, drone photography, and portrait sessions for various occasions. My pricing is typically based on an hourly rate, with a minimum requirement of one and a half hours for a shoot. This duration ensures around 40 finished images to beautifully capture your moments.
