Book a Studio Portrait Session
in Paxos & Antipaxos

Professional photoshoots on Paxos start from €279. Packages differ by duration and the number of edited photos — one to two hours, roughly €279 to €450, covers Gaios and the channel in front of the Panagia islet, or Loggos harbour and an olive terrace above it. A boat session over to Antipaxos is quoted separately, because the boat is an extra cost.

Gaios waterfront, with the wooded Panagia islet across the channel, is the classic opening. Loggos gives a harbour the size of a courtyard and stone quays. The Erimitis cliffs on the west coast take the sunset head-on. On Antipaxos, Vrika and Voutoumi supply the turquoise water people come for, and the terraced olive groves work all day in dappled light.

Gaios and Loggos face roughly east, so they are calm and warm at sunrise and shaded by late afternoon; Erimitis is the sunset side. Antipaxos beaches look best between nine and eleven, before the day boats arrive and while the water still reads clear. May, June, September and early October give warm sea without the August crowd, and most tavernas close by November.

Only by boat. Day caïques leave Gaios and Loggos through the morning and return mid-afternoon, and water taxis run on demand for a fixed fare; a small hired boat buys you the beaches before the crowd lands. Vrika and Voutoumi have no road access and almost no shade at midday. Check the last return time before you plan anything near sunset.

It depends on the photographer, and their Photo Greece profile states it explicitly — read the package description before booking. Photographers with their own studios include the space in the session price; those who rent third-party studios either build the cost in or list it as a separate line so you can choose the space tier. When comparing prices, compare the whole package: a session that looks €50 cheaper but adds studio rental on top isn't cheaper. If a quote is ambiguous, ask directly in the booking chat — 'is the studio included, and which studio is it?' — and you'll get a concrete answer with photos of the space. Address and access details arrive with your booking confirmation.

The practical limit is time, not a rule: in a 60-minute studio session, two to three outfits is the sweet spot — each change costs five minutes plus a lighting adjustment, and more changes than that eat into actual shooting. For headshot sessions, bring three tops in different tones against the planned backdrop and change only from the waist up in seconds. Portfolio and branding sessions that genuinely need four or more looks should book 90 minutes or two hours; your photographer will say so honestly when you describe the goal. Studio tip: bring everything pressed and on hangers, arrive in the simplest look, and start with it — the first fifteen minutes are warm-up frames anyway, and your strongest outfit deserves your warmed-up confidence.
