Great communication, easy going no stress. He knew how and where to take the pictures. Gave clear posing instructions and made you feel at ease. Took us to seven hills roof top and had magnificent shots with seagulls. Also took us across the river and gave us a mini tour. He is very professional and adaptable. Highs recommended.”

Capture Istanbul in polished photos with local photographer Elmir, from the Red Tram and Galata Tower to New Mosque and Galata Bridge.

“Elmir was an absolute joy to work with! He arrived promptly and had an incredible eye for selecting the best locations for our shoot. His guidance on posing techniques was invaluable, making the experience feel effortless and fun. As someone who loves being in front of the camera, my favorite part was how he showed me previews throughout the session. This feedback allowed me to adjust and bring my best to each shot. Elmir truly captured greatness.”

“Great experience overall, if you’re more behind the camera person than in front of the camera. Then don’t stress, the photographer will give you poses for the shoot. They will make you feel comfortable. Don’t be shy in asking for more photos, and on details it’s say “2-3 shooting locations” make sure you do all three (again don’t be shy in asking for all three locations) Must important thing to remember the photo shoot WILL STILL GO AHEAD EVEN IF THE BALLOONS ARE CANCELLED!!!!! because that happen to me, first I was upset however it’s not the company fault that the balloons were cancelled. The ballon’s were cancelled the very…”

Capture Istanbul with private photos by Raha, choosing iconic sites such as Ortaköy, Galata, Balat, and Süleymaniye.

“I often travel alone but I don’t trust strangers to take photos to my satisfaction so I hire a photographer whenever I can that will take me to all the iconic/interesting places of the respective place. It was no different for my trip to Istanbul. I could not be happier with the service and professionalism provided by Raha! He was so easy to work with and made me feel comfortable. He took sooooo many photos for me to choose from and provided them on my phone the very same day. I’m not sure if I can provide tips since he gave them all during the photoshoot. One tip I can…”

“çok keyifli bir deneyimdi, Pilotum Hüseyin Karadaş'ın donanımlı oluşu uçuşumu oldukça keyifli kıldı, kolay bir kalkış ve iniş yaptık, bir süre paraşütü benim kullanmamı sağlaması güzel bir anı oldu. Deniz aşağıda, yukarıda gökyüzü ve ikisinin arasında ben:) muhteşemdi. Gökyüzünden aşağıyı izlerken bölgeyi göstererek anlatması (Şurası Kelebekler Vadisi, şurası Fethiye merkez, şurası Kıdrak plajı vs ) farklı bakış açısı kattı. Bölgenin sunduğu muhteşem manzara ve havanın da güzel oluşuyla unutulmayacak bir gün yaşadım. Artık bence paraşütle uçmak, 1.sınıf uçmanın farklı bir versiyonu:) teşekkürlerrrrr”
