If you’re heading to Malta and want to turn your holiday into something truly memorable, a professional photoshoot might just be the experience you didn’t know you needed. We’ve looked into this offering from Polina Mifsud, and while we haven’t done it ourselves, the reviews and details paint a pretty compelling picture for anyone keen to get some quality, natural-looking photos during their trip.
What we love about this experience is the focus on candid, authentic shots—no stiff poses or awkward smiles—just real moments captured in some of Malta’s most beautiful spots. Plus, the quick turnaround of 3–5 days for digital images means you won’t be waiting long to relive those special snapshots. On the flip side, a possible consideration is that the price doesn’t include transportation or entrance fees, so you might want to budget for a bit extra if you plan to shoot at locations that require an entry or transport to get around.
This experience really suits travelers who want more than just photos on their phones. It’s perfect for couples, friends, or families who cherish memories and want a visual story of their trip with a professional touch. If you’re after very polished, studio-style photos, this might not be the right fit, but if natural moments and stunning backdrops appeal to you, keep reading.

The Process
Before the shoot, you’ll have a pre-session consultation. This is your chance to share your style preferences, talk about the mood you want, and plan the wardrobe.

On the day, you don’t need to worry about outfit changes; feel free to switch looks as you go. The photographer will work to capture candid moments of laughter, connection, and joy, which reviews highlight as a major plus. Nitharsini even mentioned, “Appoline was so professional,” which suggests you’re in good hands.

This means those shots will truly pop—perfect for printing or sharing online. The quick turnaround—just 3–5 days—means you don’t have to wait long to start reliving your Malta memories.
While the photos are digital, the experience of having someone capture your moments in Malta’s lush streets or sunny coastal views is priceless. And for those looking for a versatile photoshoot experience—be it romantic, family, or group—the package covers it all.
The Value for Money
At $193 for a 45-minute session with up to six people, it’s a pretty fair deal.

Keep in mind, transportation and entrance fees aren’t included, so plan accordingly.
