What to Expect During Your Photoshoot
This isn’t your average snapshot session. The guide, Danielle, or the photographer leading the experience, will take you on a walk through Malta’s most photogenic spots. Starting at notable landmarks like the Triton Fountain in Valletta or the Mdina Gate, you’ll move between some of the most iconic and hidden gems—think secret corners, scenic overlooks, and charming streets that only locals might know.
The route is flexible: you’ll walk through Valletta’s scenic streets, stopping frequently to capture the perfect shot. The photographer’s experience becomes evident here—she knows where the best light hits and the most flattering angles. You’ll also have time to change outfits if you want varied looks, which really helps diversify your photos.
The walk ends at the Lower Barrakka Gardens—an excellent spot to wind down and take in the views. The whole process is designed to be relaxed and unhurried, so you can enjoy the scenery and feel at ease in front of the camera.
The Locations
You have the choice of a single location of your preference or, for an extra fee, the possibility of visiting two. The variety includes Valletta, Mdina, Golden Bay, Riviera Bay, and Sliema. Each offers different vibes—Valletta’s historic charm, Mdina’s medieval streets, or the beaches of Golden Bay and Riviera Bay.
According to reviews, the guide will introduce you to some hidden spots along with the main attractions, which can make your photos more unique. These lesser-known areas often provide a more authentic and less crowded backdrop—great for those who want more than just tourist clichés.
The Photos & Delivery
You’ll get 25 professionally edited images in high resolution, which is quite generous for a one-hour session. The photos are delivered in a private online gallery, making it easy to share with friends or print your favorites. The turnaround is quick, between 2 to 4 days, which is handy if you want to get your photos before heading back home.
Note that RAW files are not included—the images are pre-edited for the best look. If you’re a photography buff, this might be a downside, but for most travelers, the professionally retouched photos are ideal.
