Photographer on the Turkish Riviera
I'm Maria. I photograph couples, families and solo travellers in Antalya, Alanya, Side, Belek and Kemer. I'll suggest the spot, the time and the outfit, and meet you at your hotel.
Portfolio
No stiff posing. The shoot feels like a walk, and I'll tell you where to stand and what to do with your hands.

About me
I'm a photographer on the Turkish coast, working with travellers in five resort towns. My job is to let you relax instead of posing: I'll find the light, the angle and a spot without crowds.
I speak Russian and English, so the shoot is easy for the whole family, even if you're travelling with friends from different countries.
What I shoot
A sunset walk for two, a honeymoon, an anniversary, or a proposal captured in secret.
Relaxed with kids of any age: playing by the water, hugs and real emotions.
Portraits for yourself and social media, flying-dress shoots on the cliffs and in the old town.
Destination ceremonies, elopements, or a bridal look by the sea.
Prices
Price is per session, not per person. Couples, families and groups pay the same.
Transfer is extra if the location is more than 15 km from your hotel. No deposit needed: pay in cash or by transfer after the shoot.
Towns
I know the spots without crowds at sunset. We can also shoot at your hotel.
Reviews
Yesterday I had a photoshoot in Side, and today I already have the photos. A wonderful memory of the trip! Working with Maria was easy and comfortable. I'll book again next time!
Translated from Russian
We spent a long time looking for a photographer in Alanya: not everyone likes or knows how to shoot big groups, and we wanted a mix of different photos. Somehow we found you. Thank you for the emotions, the fair prices and the moments captured to remember!
Translated from Russian
Thank you for the photoshoot! The photos are great and beautiful. Maria helped us choose the location. I recommend her!
Translated from Russian
Great work! I was really nervous, but everything went easily. Super!
Translated from Russian
I needed a photoshoot urgently, and Maria didn't turn me down: she fit me in within a couple of days. Thank you so much for being so quick and for your work!
Translated from Russian
Everything went wonderfully! Lovely to work with, and the photos turned out beautiful. I definitely recommend her, and we'll book again!

When to shoot
The best light comes an hour before sunset: soft, warm, no harsh shadows. Summer days are hot, so I shoot at sunrise or in the evening.

| May | 19:55 | 18:50 |
| June – July | 20:15 | 19:10 |
| August | 19:50 | 18:45 |
