Rome in the morning is just magical. The city wakes up at sunset and you have it all to yourselves, or something like that. Sunset and early morning are indeed great times to enjoy the city without the crowds, and a great opportunity to be photographed at iconic landmarks with virtually nobody in the proximity, so with plenty of privacy. Under certain circumstances, a touch of flash may be necessary to compensate for the lack of light, but just a kiss of extra light, only to complement the existing one. Please note that depending on the season and the time, there may be surcharge for the early hour start. Furthermore, this slot is highly requested, so make sure you enquire about availability for your date.
This is indeed the busiest time of the day. Privacy is an abstract concept during the day, after all Rome attracts millions of tourists each year. Lightwise, the morning and afternoon sun can be a little too harsh at times, but it can be tamed too. With the aid of our assistants and the use of reflectors, diffusers and a kiss of flash we can make beautiful portraits at all iconic locations in Rome. Expect to elbow your way through the crowds at times.
This is without doubt the most romantic time of the day, and also the most dramatic. You get to experience both the most flattering light and the blue hour ( after sunset ), all within the space of an hour. This also means it's second most popular slot of the day and goes very quickly. Note that given the nature of low light conditions an assistant may be required to operate lighting equipment.
Rome at night is absolutely stunning and after sunset is when Rome is more alive and fun. The compulsory use of flash, when used creatively, can be fun and make your images truly unique. On photo sessions by night one or two assistants may be required to guarantee that the flow of the session runs smoothly. Please note that the total net photography, as in the number of final images produced, is much lower on evening and nighttime photo shoots.
When it comes to attire for your Rome Photo Session, much depends upon the nature of the photo shoot, the season, your style. As long as it reflects your personality both individually and as a couple, there are no hard and fast rules. There are however a few considerations to be made regarding comfort and attire:
