An In-Depth Look at the Experience

What to Expect: A Day in the Water with a Camera

The process begins with choosing a day and time, which is heavily dependent on weather conditions. This flexibility is crucial because the best photos often come on days with good light, steady wind, and favorable surf or kitesurfing conditions. Once you’ve booked, you’ll stay in touch with Alessia Battaglia, the professional photographer, to fine-tune the details.

When the day arrives, you’ll meet your photographer at a pre-agreed spot — usually a scenic stretch of coast where your water sport activity is happening. The session lasts approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, giving enough time to capture action shots, relaxed moments, and possibly some group photos. The photographer’s use of 600 mm zoom lenses guarantees detailed images even from a distance, meaning you don’t need to be in the water or too close to the action.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The session fee covers professional photography, editing of all images, and delivery of high-resolution photographs within 2-3 days. This way, you walk away with a collection of high-quality images that truly showcase your skills and the beauty of Fuerteventura’s coastline.

However, surf or kitesurf equipment is not included. If you want the photos of you actually riding waves or performing tricks, you’ll need to bring your own gear. For many, this isn’t a big deal because most water sports enthusiasts already have their equipment, but it’s worth noting if you’re planning to rent or buy locally.

Timing, Weather, and Flexibility

Weather on Fuerteventura can vary, and the photographer advises deciding your session based on current conditions. The tour provider emphasizes keeping in touch after booking to refine the timing, which highlights their commitment to getting the best possible shots. This flexibility can be a real advantage, especially if unexpected weather changes occur.
