Exploring Malta Through the Lens: What to Expect
This photoshoot isn’t just about snapping pictures; it’s a chance to experience Malta’s charm through your camera lens. When you book, you’ll be asked to select your preferred location—be it Valletta, Mdina, Birgu, Sliema, Riviera Bay, or Golden Bay. The photographer, Carlos Mahe, will then meet you at a predetermined point, ensuring a smooth start to your session. Timing is flexible, with check availability for the start times, but generally, the activity lasts about an hour, making it an easy addition to your day.
The Locations
Each location offers a different flavor of Malta’s beauty. Valletta is renowned for its elegant architecture, narrow alleys, and vibrant street life, while Mdina provides a more medieval feel with its ancient walls and quiet, atmospheric streets. Birgu (Vittoriosa) offers a glimpse into Malta’s maritime history, with charming waterfront views and historic buildings. For those seeking a more relaxed vibe or scenic coastlines, spots like Riviera Bay or Golden Bay are also options.
The Photoshoot Experience
During the hour, the photographer will guide you through the streets, helping you find the most scenic angles and authentic moments. Reviewers have mentioned that the photographer is skilled at capturing natural expressions, avoiding stiff poses. One person noted, “The photographer was very laid-back but professional, making us feel comfortable and relaxed.” This approach yields images that truly reflect your personality and the Malta backdrop.

Feeling fashionable? You’ll be encouraged to change outfits if you like, giving a variety of styles in your photos. If you wish to shoot in two locations, that can be arranged for an extra fee, allowing for a wider variety of scenes—perhaps a formal look in Valletta and casual at a nearby beach.

Photo Delivery & Quality
Within 2-4 days, you’ll receive 25 digitally edited images of high resolution. Clients consistently mention the quality—“The photos are stunning and very professionally edited,” says one reviewer. These images are a great keepsake, suitable for framing, social media, or sharing with friends and family.
Why This Photoshoot Stands Out
While many tours focus on sightseeing, this experience emphasizes capturing your personal moments amidst Malta’s beautiful scenery. The personalized approach makes it a more meaningful souvenir, especially compared to generic selfie sticks or quick snapshots. Plus, the flexibility of location and the ability to agree on two spots beforehand adds a level of customization that many other activities lack.
What We Love About the Experience
- The relaxed walk through Malta’s charming streets makes the photoshoot feel more like a leisurely exploration than a formal session.
- The professional editing ensures your photos look polished but still authentic—no overly staged images here.
- It’s a great gift option—surprising a loved one with a professional photoshoot in such a historic setting is truly special.
- The delivery time of just a few days means you don’t have to wait long to see your images and relive your Maltese memories.
What Could Be Better
A thing to keep in mind is that transportation to and from locations isn’t included. If you plan to visit multiple spots, you might need to arrange taxis or use public transport, which could add a little complexity and cost. Also, entrance fees to certain sites are not included, so if you want photos at specific historic locations, budget for that separately.
The Practicalities: Who Is This Best For?
This photoshoot is ideal for couples looking for romantic keepsakes, families wanting to document their trip, groups of friends celebrating a special occasion, or even solo travelers who want professional images to showcase their journey. The private nature of the session ensures a tailored experience, and the ability to change outfits or customize locations lets you make it uniquely yours.
Pricing-wise, considering you receive 25 high-quality digital images with professional editing, this activity offers excellent value for those wanting memorable, high-caliber photos. It’s a little more than just a snapshot session, but the quality and personal touch justify the cost for many.
Final Thoughts
This private Malta photoshoot service combines a relaxed, personalized experience with the chance to capture your trip in one of the Mediterranean’s most photogenic settings.
