Book a Studio Portrait Session
in Spetses

Professional photoshoots on Spetses start from €279. Packages vary by duration and the number of edited photos — one to two hours, roughly €279 to €450, is enough to walk from the Dapia waterfront past the Poseidonion and along to the Old Harbour. Agioi Anargyroi is on the far side of the island, so add the water-taxi or road time to the booking.

The Old Harbour at Baltiza, with wooden hulls on stocks in the open boatyards and masts against tiled roofs; the belle-époque facade and gardens of the Poseidonion; the pebble-mosaic quay and cannons at Dapia; the back lanes where the horse carriages wait; and Agioi Anargyroi, the pine-backed beach on the south-west coast.

The Old Harbour works late: it faces roughly north, holds soft light all afternoon and glows once the tavernas switch on. Dapia and the Poseidonion take clean morning sun before the first hydrofoil unloads. Weekends from June to September bring an Athens crowd; May, early June and September are the quiet months with warm sea and no queue for a carriage.

You mostly walk. Private cars are heavily restricted on the island, so the town runs on foot, bicycle, scooter and horse carriage, and Dapia to the Old Harbour is about twenty minutes along the sea. A carriage between the two makes a shoot of its own — agree the fare first. For Agioi Anargyroi take a water taxi from Dapia or the small bus, and check the last return time before you book a sunset slot.

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.
