Discovering the Magic of a Private Maspalomas Photo Shoot
If you’re thinking about adding a little sparkle to your trip to Gran Canaria, a private photo shoot in the iconic Maspalomas sand dunes might be just the ticket. While we haven’t personally been on this exact tour, the reviews and details paint a pretty compelling picture. It’s designed as a personalized, professional session that promises your own set of high-quality, edited photos—perfect for making memories or sharing your trip with friends.
What really stands out is the expert guidance from a local photographer who knows the best spots for those stunning views. Plus, it’s tailored solely to your group, so you don’t have to worry about strangers in your photos. However, keep in mind that these sessions book up well in advance—on average, about 85 days ahead—so planning early is a smart move. This experience is best suited for those who want to feel like a model for a day or simply want quality photos that truly capture their time on the island.
One potential consideration is the timing—sessions start at 7:00 pm, which is perfect for that magical golden hour light, but if you’re not a fan of evening plans, it’s worth factoring into your schedule. Overall, if you’re after memorable photos, a professional guide, and a private, relaxed atmosphere, this tour hits many right notes.

What You Can Expect from Your Private Photo Session in Maspalomas
From booking to the final shot, this experience is designed to be straightforward but memorable. The meeting point is at Av. de Tirajana in Maspalomas, and the session typically lasts around an hour. You’ll meet your photographer at the designated time, and right from the start, it’s all about you and your group—no strangers, no crowds. The focus is on making sure you feel comfortable so that your photos are natural and relaxed.
Once you’re at the Maspalomas dunes—a landscape famous for their sweeping sands and distinctive natural beauty—the fun begins. Your photographer, well-versed in the island’s best backdrops, will take you through different poses and locations, capturing moments that reflect your personality and the mood you want to convey. Whether you’re feeling playful, romantic, or just want some striking scenic shots, this is your time to shine.
One thing our review mentions is how professional and guiding Sergiu was. He kept it light and fun, making everyone feel at ease. As one customer said, “He guided us through every photo, made it light, fun, and comfortable.” That kind of approach turns what could be an awkward photo session into an enjoyable experience.

How the Photos Are Delivered
After the session, you’ll receive a selection of photos—at least 20, but likely more—manually edited to bring out the best in each shot. These high-resolution images are perfect for printing on canvas, sharing on Instagram, or simply keeping in your digital album. The fact that there’s no limit on how many photos you’ll get means you’ll have plenty to choose from and cherish.
The Location: Maspalomas Dunes in Focus

The Maspalomas sand dunes are a stunning natural spectacle, and they make for a dramatic backdrop for photos. The location’s expansive sands, shifting with the breeze, lend a sense of vastness and wonder. It’s a place that naturally lends itself to striking shots, especially during the late afternoon and early evening when the light is softer.
Your photographer is familiar with the area, so expect to explore different angles and spots that might not be obvious to visitors simply passing through. The evening timing helps to avoid the harsh midday sun and allows for softer, more flattering lighting.
Who Will Love This Experience?

This private photo shoot is ideal for those who want personalized, high-quality images captured by a professional. It’s perfect for couples, families, friends, or even solo travelers wanting a professional documentation of their trip.
If you’re someone who values the memory of your trip and appreciates beautiful, well-shot photos—perhaps for a special occasion or just because—you’ll definitely enjoy this experience. The private nature makes it a comfortable choice for those who prefer not to be in a large group or tour.
However, if you’re on a tight schedule or prefer daytime shoots, note that this session takes place at 7:00 pm, coinciding with the sunset, which is actually a bonus for many, but might be a consideration if your plans differ.
The Cost and Value
At $137.57 per person, this might seem like a premium, but considering the personalized attention, the expertise of the photographer, and the 20+ high-quality edited photos you’ll take home, the value here is solid. It’s a meaningful souvenir that’s more personal than most generic tour photos, especially given the professionalism and flexibility of the session.
