A Private Experience Designed Around You
Every project begins with a conversation.
You may be looking for elegant photographs at your villa, relaxed lifestyle content on a yacht or a polished photo and video production at a resort. The format is adapted to you rather than built around a standard template.
Your project may include:
- Professional photography
- Cinematic video
- Vertical social media content
- Drone photography and video
- Hair and makeup
- Fashion styling
- Professional lighting
- Photographer and videographer
- Assistant or gaffer
- Location recommendations
- Professional post-production
The scope, team and final result are discussed individually.
What Your Luxury Photoshoot Can Include
There is no fixed number of photographs or standard set of deliverables for every project.
The final selection depends on the concept, coverage time, production format and your priorities. After discussing your ideas, I will recommend a realistic result that suits the project.
Photography is carefully selected and professionally edited. Video options may include a cinematic film, vertical Reel, social media content or drone footage.
Standard delivery is within 10–15 days. If the project requires a different schedule, this will be confirmed before booking.
If you are looking for a simpler session focused mainly on individual portraits, visit my Portrait Photographer Phuket page.
Locations and Private Experiences
Phuket offers beautiful settings for different styles of photography: private villas, resorts, restaurants, beach clubs, yachts, golf clubs, tennis courts and tropical landscapes.
I do not own or provide shooting locations, but I can recommend suitable options for your concept and share trusted contacts.
Access is arranged directly with the venue. Some places allow photography only for their guests, while others may request advance approval or an additional shooting fee.
Villas and Resorts
A private villa or resort offers comfort, privacy and a relaxed atmosphere. Pools, gardens, modern interiors, terraces and sea views can all become part of the visual story.
If you already have accommodation booked, send me its name or website. I will review the location and suggest the best time and shooting format.
Yacht Experiences
A yacht creates a private setting with open sea, tropical light and very few distractions. Photography, cinematic video and drone footage can be combined within the same experience.
I can recommend yacht operators and share contacts. The charter is booked and paid for separately.
You can find examples and planning information on my yacht photography in Phuket page.
Convertibles and Premium Cars
A convertible or premium car adds movement, character and a sense of travel to the shoot. It works particularly well with Phuket’s coastal roads, tropical scenery and modern architecture.
The vehicle is rented separately and should be approved for professional photography by the rental provider.
View my Car Photoshoot Phuket page for examples and additional information.
Restaurants, Golf Clubs and Sports Locations
Restaurants, rooftops, golf courses and tennis courts can create an elegant lifestyle setting with a more editorial feel.
I can help you choose a place that works with the light, clothing and mood you want to create.
Indoor photography can also be arranged inside hotels, villas, restaurants or studios. Learn more about Indoor Photography Phuket.
Styling, Hair and Makeup
The right styling makes the photographs feel complete without making them look artificial.
Depending on your project, I can recommend:
- Fashion stylist
- Makeup artist
- Hair stylist
- Wardrobe consultation
- Accessories
- Touch-ups during the shoot
Every detail should work naturally with your appearance, the location and the atmosphere we want to create.
For a stronger editorial direction, you can also explore my fashion photography in Phuket portfolio.
Professional Lighting and Creative Team
Natural light is often enough for an elegant and relaxed result. When the project needs more control, I can bring a professional lighting setup and an experienced team.
The team may include:
- 1-2 Photographers
- 1-2 Videographers
- Drone operator
- Assistant or Gaffer
- Stylist
- Hair and makeup artist
The team is selected around the project. I do not add specialists or equipment unless they bring a clear benefit to the final result.
Photography, Video and Drone by One Team
Photography and video can be created together in one consistent visual style.
Working with one coordinated team keeps the process simple. Lighting, camera positions, direction and timing are planned together, allowing you to focus on the experience rather than the production.
Available formats include:
- Edited photography
- Cinematic video
- Vertical Reels
- Social media content
- Drone photography and video
For projects focused mainly on video, visit my Phuket videographer page.
Drone coverage depends on the weather, location, venue approval, safety conditions and local restrictions.

3. Location and Team Coordination
I can recommend suitable venues and share contacts for hotels, restaurants, yachts, cars, golf clubs and other services.
Third-party services and location access are arranged and paid for separately unless stated otherwise in your quotation.
4. The Shooting Day
I guide you throughout the shoot while keeping the experience relaxed.
The plan gives us structure, but we can still adapt to the light, weather and how you feel in the moment.
5. Editing and Delivery
After the shoot, I select and edit the final material according to the agreed format.
Standard delivery is within 10–15 days.
Privacy and Discretion
Privacy can be built into the project from the beginning.
The standard quotation applies when selected photographs or short video excerpts may be used in my professional portfolio, website or social media.
Fully confidential coverage is available with a 50% privacy surcharge. In this case, no photographs, videos or information about the project will be published.
Please mention your privacy requirements before booking so they can be included in the agreement.
Local Experience in Phuket
Producing a smooth photoshoot in Phuket requires an understanding of local light, weather, traffic and venue restrictions.
I have worked in photography and video production since 2015 and have lived and worked in Phuket for more than ten years.
This local experience helps me recommend the right time and format, avoid unnecessary complications and keep the shoot comfortable.
Client Experiences
Octav took the time to understand exactly what we wanted before the shoot. He helped us choose the right format, recommended a yacht and explained how everything would work. The experience felt personal from the beginning, and the final photographs reflected our wishes
Booking photography and video with one team made the process much easier. The photographers and videographers coordinated their timing, lighting and direction without competing for the same moments. The photographs and film feel like parts of one story, with a consistent style and atmosphere.
