What’s the experience like?

“Just stand there — yeah, right by the old column,” Ana said, waving me into a patch of sunlight that spilled across the stones in Diocletian’s Palace. I felt a little awkward at first (I mean, who doesn’t?), but she grinned and told me not to worry about my hands. The square was humming — footsteps echoing off marble, someone playing accordion somewhere close. I could smell coffee drifting from a café tucked under an archway. Ana snapped a few shots while we tried to dodge a group of kids chasing pigeons. She knew all these tiny passages, places I’d never have found on my own.

We wandered through the Peristyle and then down these narrow lanes where the walls almost touch your shoulders. At one point, she showed me how to lean against this ancient doorway for a photo — “It’s older than most countries,” she joked. There was this moment when the light hit just right and everything felt golden for half a second. It sounds cheesy but… I still think about that view sometimes, especially when I look at the photos now.

Afterwards we headed out to the Riva promenade — palms swaying, sea air mixing with the smell of grilled fish from somewhere nearby. Ana had me laugh for one shot (“Pretend you just heard good news!”), which honestly worked better than any pose advice. The whole thing felt more like hanging out with a friend than some stiff photoshoot. She promised to send the edited pictures within 24 hours (she did), and even gave me tips on how not to look like a statue next time someone points a camera at me. So yeah — if you want vacation photos in Split that actually feel like you, this is it.
