Photo shoot on the water

Photo shoot tour

Photo shoot on the water

A classic wooden boat, a photographer's favourite light and the villas of Lake Como as your backdrop. We plan the route around your shots, not around a timetable.

The boat is part of the set

Varnished mahogany, ivory cushions and brass that holds the light make the boat a setting of its own. Shots work on the deck, at the bow and in the cockpit, so a single outing gives you several looks without changing location.

Locations chosen for the light

We sail to the shorelines that photograph best at your hour: the villas around Cernobbio, the quiet front of Bellagio, the villages seen from the water. When the light is right, we slow down and hold position so you have the time you need.

Time to work, not to hurry

Tell us the mood you have in mind and we build the route around it. Weddings, engagements, brand campaigns, personal portraits: the boat is private, so the pace is yours.
