“I booked my experience and asked about a makeup artist. She was AMAZING. She even caught that it would be dark at 7 and suggested the photo shoot be moved to 8 am. The owner agreed with her recommendation. Everything was fine and professional until the day of my shoot. In the advert it says German fountain, blue mosque, Bosporus bridge, location of choice and a few other locations free. That rooftops would be extra. It also says you will get over 400 raw photos of which you need to select 25 for editing. My photographer was 26 minutes late. I was not taken to all the locations, I only…”

“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.”

Capture Istanbul’s mosques, fountains, seagulls, and Bosphorus views with Batuhan in a private two-hour photo shoot.
“Batuhan is a professional - my photos look awesome even if unedited. He arrived at the meeting place early so we started before the set time. He spoke english well and it was easy to communicate with him. He was very nice and made me feel comfortable throughout the shoot. At the end, he offered to transfer the raw photos on the spot, but I didn't have enough storage space so I waited for him to send the files online - I received them the next day. Great experience! I highly recommend that you book him when you go to Istanbul!”
Pose in Istanbul with a flying dress, Bosphorus views, Turkish lights, edited photos, videos, and a clear look at the extra cash fee.
“Unfortunately the experience was quite disappointing. The day of my photoshoot rain was forecasted for the afternoon. I expected the session would be cancelled / rescheduled as it does say that this activity requires good weather, so I was a quite surprised when the photographer didn't cancel or reschedule and instead confirmed my booking for that afternoon. The directions to the location were good and the building was easy to find. Whilst I felt there was a lack of choice in flying dresses to choose from (and the color I wanted was unavailable) there were lots of accessories you borrow (earings, necklaces, crowns) which was nice. It started to rain…”

A private Istanbul photo session with Tural Nasibli visits Hagia Sophia, Suleymaniye Mosque, and Sultanahmet for 75-plus images.
“We bought this activity to do during our first morning in Istanbul. When I bought it I was given a meeting time (8:30 AM) and a location to meet. About 2 weeks before the activity the tour operator change the meeting time for 10:00 AM and changed the meeting location. That was to be very inconvenient since we had another tour scheduled starting at noon, but we decided to go ahead even if it meant less time with the photographer. We were not sure about how to locate the meeting location so we left our hotel at 8:30 AM anyway. The directions given were so confusing our taxi driver could…”
