Question 1

What makes you the best Istanbul photographer?

Accepted Answer

With 8+ years of experience and over 500 successful photography sessions, I specialize in capturing Istanbul's unique beauty. My deep local knowledge of the city's most photogenic locations, from rooftop venues with Bosphorus views to historic landmarks, ensures exceptional results every time.

Question 2

Which locations do you recommend for Istanbul photoshoots?

Accepted Answer

I offer sessions at premium rooftop venues with stunning Bosphorus views, historic areas like Sultanahmet (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia), Galata Tower surroundings, Ortaköy Mosque, and hidden gems throughout the city. Each location is chosen for its unique character and photogenic qualities.

Question 3

How long does an Istanbul photography session take?

Accepted Answer

Session durations vary by package: Essential (30 minutes), Premium (1.5 hours), Luxury (2.5 hours), and custom rooftop sessions. This allows ample time for multiple poses, outfit changes, and capturing the perfect shots at your chosen locations.

Question 4

What's the best time of day for Istanbul photoshoots?

Accepted Answer

Golden hour (1 hour before sunset) provides the most flattering light and stunning city views. For rooftop sessions, sunset timing offers magical Bosphorus reflections. Morning sessions (8-10 AM) are perfect for fewer crowds at historic locations.

Question 5

How quickly will I receive my edited photos?

Accepted Answer

Premium and Luxury packages include same-day preview (5-10 preview photos). Full galleries with professionally edited, high-resolution photos are delivered within 5-7 business days via secure online gallery with download options.

Question 6

What happens if weather conditions are poor?

Accepted Answer

I monitor weather closely and provide covered location alternatives for rainy days. Rooftop sessions can be rescheduled at no extra cost. Indoor venues and covered historic areas ensure your session happens regardless of weather.

Question 7

Do you photograph both couples and individuals?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I specialize in couple photography, individual portraits, lifestyle sessions, and wedding photography. Each session is tailored to your specific needs, whether it's romantic couple shots or professional individual portraits.

Question 8

How far in advance should I book my Istanbul photoshoot?

Accepted Answer

I recommend booking 2-3 weeks in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons (spring and fall). This ensures availability for your preferred date and time, and allows proper planning for location permits if needed.
