What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the salt in the air — that mix of sunscreen, sea breeze, and something sweet from a nearby café. Our driver pulled up right outside our hotel in Alanya (didn’t expect that to be so smooth), and before I knew it, we were winding through town toward Cleopatra Beach. The sun wasn’t too harsh yet, but you could already hear kids laughing somewhere behind the palms. Our photographer met us at the garden, camera already in hand, grinning like he’d just seen an old friend. He asked if we wanted to start with hats or sunglasses — I panicked and picked both.

I’m not usually comfortable in front of a lens (my partner says I blink too much), but somehow this felt different. The guide kept things light — cracked a joke about my “fashion show” outfit changes (you can swap clothes up to three times if you want). The sand underfoot was warm but not burning, and when he asked us to walk along the shore for some candid shots, I forgot about posing altogether. There was this one moment where the light caught just right — honestly, I still think about that view over the water. It’s weird how quickly you relax when someone local is leading you around their favorite spots.

Afterwards, we followed him back to his office — nothing fancy, but it smelled faintly of coffee and there were sample prints pinned everywhere. We scrolled through all the photos on his computer (I may have groaned at my own awkward smile), picking out our ten favorites. If you want extras it’s €6 each — which sounded fair after seeing how many he took. He transferred them straight to our phones while we sat there chatting about Alanya’s best kebab stalls. So yeah, not what I expected from a “holiday photo shoot.” Felt more like hanging out with someone who knows exactly how to catch those small moments.
