Other factors include the need for a photo assistant, additional specialized equipment, the complexity of the retouching, and other specific requirements.

Questions & Answers (FAQ)
If you are on vacation and want a completely relaxed, effortless photoshoot without long travel times, the best option is to host it right at your hotel. Resorts feature the most beautiful, well-maintained beaches and grounds, which always look stunning in frames.
However, if you are ready to invest some time to explore the heart of the island and see something more, I will offer you unique locations from my personal catalog: from wild rocky shores and jungles to waterfalls and atmospheric local streets.

This is an important detail. While 90% of hotels are perfectly relaxed about photoshoots, some resorts in Mauritius charge an access fee (day pass) for outside professionals.
It is best to check the policy regarding invited professional photographers with your reception desk or guest manager in advance. But even if your hotel’s conditions turn out to be inconvenient, that is no reason to miss out on beautiful photos! Mauritius has plenty of stunning public beaches, so we can easily select an alternative location.

All your photos will be delivered via a beautiful and user-friendly online gallery (cloud storage), from which you can easily download them in original quality to your phone or computer.
- Sneak Peek: You will receive the first 5–7 polished frames just 3 days after the shoot, so you can share them on social media right away.
- Full Series: The rest of the collection will be ready within 10–14 days.
I deliver all successful frames with my signature color correction—you can check the exact image count in the service packages. Additionally, I personally select the best portraits for high-end magazine-quality skin and detail retouching, depending on your selected package. The images you see throughout my portfolio reflect this final, fully retouched quality.
I deeply respect your privacy. Your photos will only appear on my website or social media if you explicitly grant your permission. As a token of appreciation in such cases, I include a few additional fully retouched images on top of your selected package. If you prefer a completely confidential shoot, just let me know in advance—there are absolutely no extra fees for privacy.
Yes, you can print these photos in any size—even on a full-wall canvas. I shoot exclusively with professional full-frame, high-resolution Canon cameras and premium, fast prime lenses. This guarantees flawless quality even when printing large-format images.
Of course! I will guide you constantly, suggesting ideas and adjusting your poses throughout the process. Usually, people find it very easy to relax during my shoots. In every location, we will make sure to capture a mix of classic posed portraits and more candid, "live" moments.
The only thing required from you is trust. I select locations and angles based on the artistry of the lighting and background elements, so simply follow my recommendations, and everything will go perfectly!

The most crucial step in preparation is selecting your outfits, as the overall color harmony of the frame depends on it. I will send you complete styling guidelines, and before the shoot, I will ask you to share photos of your chosen clothes. I’ll guide you on what works best and which accessories will complement your looks.
I also highly recommend not scheduling the shoot for your first few days after arrival. This gives your skin time to adapt to the tropical sun and allows you to adjust to the new climate.

Mauritius is generally very sunny, but occasionally the weather disrupts our plans. Don't worry about this at all—we can always find an open slot to reschedule. During the months when rain is more frequent, I proactively reserve a backup window for every booking just in case. Rescheduling due to weather conditions is entirely free of charge.
Every location on the island has a specific time when its beauty is revealed at its absolute best — it all depends on the position and angle of the sun. Some spots (such as the beaches at Le Morne Brabant) are perfect for the crisp morning light, others shine during the golden pre-sunset hours, and a few locations actually yield the best results right in the middle of the day!
Just let me know where you are planning to stay, and I will recommend the perfect timing for your session.
