Review of Istanbul’s private two-hour photoshoot, with Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Ortaköy, transport, posing help, and practical tips.

“We were on a trip to Istanbul and wanted to have some special moments captured at the beautiful venues of this city. Thankfully we booked this service! The communication with the photographer was very easy and quick. We agreed on a meeting spot, where he arrived punctually. He was very kind and professional from the beginning to the end. He was neither annoyed nor rushed us to anything and took photos very patiently. Due to his experience he knew which time was the best to visit the various spots (in the morning, as there are less tourists around.) We also had the ooprtunity to change our outfits, again there was…”

“Rose and Zul fi ya exceeded all expectations! They knew all of the best locations for iconic photos of Istanbul’s landmarks. Some of the locations they took me to were secret, and not accessible to the general public. They went above and beyond to make my pictures exceptional. In one of my photo shoots, they hired a local to throw bird food in the air so that the birds would be captured in my pictures. Rose and Zul fi ya are true professionals and were able to produce some truly iconic photos. I highly recommend them to anyone.”

“I often travel alone but I don’t trust strangers to take photos to my satisfaction so I hire a photographer whenever I can that will take me to all the iconic/interesting places of the respective place. It was no different for my trip to Istanbul. I could not be happier with the service and professionalism provided by Raha! He was so easy to work with and made me feel comfortable. He took sooooo many photos for me to choose from and provided them on my phone the very same day. I’m not sure if I can provide tips since he gave them all during the photoshoot. One tip I can…”

“Our Photographer was just the best. He picked some great locations and made us feel very comfortable and at ease. The pictures turned out great, and I’m excited to share them with friends. When on vacation sometimes it’s really hard to get a good picture. You either have to do a selfie or ask strangers and the pictures are never the best. So hiring the photographer is the perfect way to capture. Great memories.”
