What to Expect from Your Tulum Photoshoot

This tour is designed for those who want more than just snapshots; it’s about capturing moments with a professional touch. The experience lasts between 1 to 2 hours, giving ample time for different setups, wardrobe changes, and variety in photos.

The core of this service is the personalized approach. You can opt for a beach shoot at a chic beach club, or a more private session at your favorite location—your resort, a private beach, or a special site around Tulum. The photographer will bring professional lighting and a medium-format camera, which means your images will boast clarity, depth, and vibrant colors — far superior to typical smartphone shots.

The Photography Options

The options are straightforward but flexible. For a beach session, you’re looking at about an hour in a scenic, coastal setting that is iconic of Tulum. Expect to be photographed on the sand, with the ocean as your backdrop, and possibly some casual poses that highlight the natural beauty of the locale. The location & private beach option extends to two hours, giving you more time to explore different angles, outfits, or even move to a different spot like a resort or a secluded cove.

The set-up is professional but unobtrusive. The photographer will establish a scene, ensuring your photos look polished without feeling stiff. If you’re a model, influencer, or just want some striking images for social media, this tour offers a chance to look your best in the Caribbean landscape.

The Photographer and Equipment

You’ll be working with a photographer who is not only based in Tulum but also brings a wealth of experience from Italy, specializing in fashion and advertising photography. This means your photos will benefit from artistic vision, expert lighting, and a keen eye for flattering angles.

Using professional lighting and a medium-format camera ensures high resolution and exceptional detail. This equipment, combined with the photographer’s skill, results in images that are suitable for printing or sharing online without loss of quality.

The review quotes highlight the quality of the photos: “We loved the way he was able to make us look natural but glamorous at the same time,” and “The images are stunning — definitely worth the price for the quality.”

The Process and Delivery

After the shoot, you’ll receive 20 images that have been carefully edited, with color balance and retouching. This process takes about five working days, which is quick considering the quality of the work involved. You’ll get private access via WeTransfer, making it easy to download and share your photos.

If you’re looking for more images or additional time, you can request to extend your package for an extra fee. This flexibility gives you control over how many moments you capture and how long you spend posing or changing outfits.
