Ask the most relevant photoshoot in Santorini FAQs

 

1. Where do people take pictures in Santorini?

It’s no secret that Santorini is stunning from top to bottom, but there are some all-time favorite spots for any photographer in Santorini. The western coast of the island is much-beloved thanks to its spectacular position for brilliant daytime sun and breathtaking sunset views. This includes Imerovigli Fira, and, of course, the world-famous Oia. If you’re looking for something a bit less crowded, consider the beaches along the southern coast or lesser-known villages like Megalochori or Pyrgos.

 

2. What are the best colors to wear for a photoshoot in Santorini?

Santorini’s monochromatic backdrop makes for a captivating pictorial, and the dress code requires careful consideration. Santorini is known for its stark white houses and pops of blue, so you may consider a colorful wardrobe to stay out amongst the light colors. However, it is truly striking to lean into the fair colors and go monochromatic yourself. Consider reds, yellows, pink, tasteful khakis, and modest beiges for a truly refined Santorini photoshoot look.

Aviod colors that are too similar to the background (only whites, or pale blues that are almost the same as the sky / buildings) without contrast — you might blend in too much. If using white or pale blue, consider adding an accent (belt, jewelry, shawl, or partner wearing something contrasting).

 

3. Where are the most Instagrammable spots in Santorini?

If there was ever an ideal Instagram location, it has to be Santorini! Arguably, the dramatic cliffsides of Oia are the most Instagrammable spot on the island, but they tend to get crowded in the evening. Other Instagram-worthy spots in Santorini include the village of Imerovigli during sunset, Akrotiri Beach during the daytime, or less-visited spots such as the Lighthouse of Akrotiri or the Heart of Santorini in Megalochori, a true-to-its-word romantic natural landmark.

I’ve never had a professional photographer take pictures before and Panos was an absolutely amazing photographer! Answered fast, picture came back fast, punctual, and helped create a perfect proposal. This is the best photographer in Santorini!

Panos was so wonderful to work with! He was knowledgeable, personable, and very informative - giving us great history on and tips about Santorini in between photos. He made both my husband and I feel very confident about posing (and we both get nervous during photoshoots!), and he was very timely in getting the photos back to us. 10/10 would do again!

Panos was a wonder to work with. As first-timers to Santorini, Panos' knowledge with the Imerovigli evening locales and assistance in getting the perfect couple poses made the overall experience very fun and rewarding. Highly recommend again and again!

We had the pleasure of working with Panos for the second time, and once again, he exceeded all our expectations! We first met him in 2021, when he did an incredible job capturing beautiful memories for our family. This year, we contacted him again for a family photo shoot in Santorini, this time with our three little children, and the results are absolutely breathtaking.Panos has a true gift for capturing natural, heartfelt moments, and his photos radiate warmth, joy, and the beauty of Santorini. He made the entire experience relaxed and enjoyable, even with little ones in the mix! Now we have another set of stunning images to treasure for a lifetime.If you’re visiting one of the most beautiful places in the world and want a professional who will deliver exceptional photos and an unforgettable experience, we cannot recommend Panos enough. His work speaks for itself, and we’re already looking forward to our next session with him.

We had Panos as our photographer on our wedding last week at Santorini Gem, he was fantastic. He helped me out by attending just for the hour we had no-one, he arrived early got all of the photos we wanted, every one came out incredible, we are spoilt for choice. Can't thank him enough. We couldn't recommend him enough

Panos is the BEST!! Your go to if you need amazing pictures to remember your trip in Santorini. He’s very good in working with people that have no experience to this, he told us exactly what to do, where to put hands, chin and so on to be able to look at our best. When he sent me the pictures I was shocked how good they came out! They are incredible and the colors are amazing, we hardly recognised ourselves. He’s also super patient and didn’t mind going over the time because some other unprofessional photographers took too long in some spots. As a plus he’s a local and super knowledgeable about the island!

I am so pleased with our family photos. Panos did an amazing job! It was so incredibly windy that I did not think we’d get any good pictures but he did. He was so kind and patient. He knew all the beautiful spots to get good pictures. He got our pictures to us in 2 days and was very reasonably priced. My two teenage girls were pleased with the pictures too! I would highly recommend him!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Pre-wedding shoot = 10/10 experience thanks to Panos!🙌📸From the moment we met, he brought such good vibes, creative energy, and just the right amount of hype to make us feel like absolute stars (even though we were lowkey awkward at first 😂). He knew all the best angles, lighting tricks, and made every shot feel natural and fun.The photos? Chef’s kiss 💯🔥 We’re obsessed. It's like they took our love and turned it into art.

My (now) finance worked with Panos to surprise me with a proposal during a photo shoot. Not knowing what was happening, I was really nervous in front of a camera but Panos made my partner and I both feel really comfortable. He worked with my partner in the lead up to choose some stunning, secluded locations and gave great advice, helped him keep the ring hidden, and setup a beautiful surprise moment. In hindsight it might've been a bit weird to have a stranger there for our engagement but Panos was so lovely - and we got some beautiful shots!

My fiancé and I did a shoot with Panos in Santorini for our engagement. We had the best time! Panos is extremely thorough, experienced, and conversational. He navigated us through the busy streets of Oía with ease because he’s a local which helped immensely given the island is quite crowded during peak tourist season. Ahead of the photoshoot I had some concerns about lighting given my partner and I are different races but Panos completely managed to balance our complexions so neither one of us were washed out or backlit. He turned back our edited photos to us in under 48 hours (more like a bit over a day) which was wonderful! Highly recommend working with him if you’re looking for a couple shoot or solo pictures.

Thank you Panos for a wonderful experience. You did an amazing job capturing our 20 year wedding anniversary pictures. This was our first time taking photos like this since our wedding and you captured some amazing memories. Taking pictures can be stressful and you helped guide us all the way. Very much appreciated and will be recommending you to all our friends.

The photographer put us both at complete ease and knew exactly where we needed to be to get the best shots. The quality of the photos taken is outstanding he really do ensure he capture amazing pictures of you and make you feel amazing. Also, the delivery time of the photos was unexpected fast, he told us 48 hours, we received the photos, retouched, in less than 24 hours ! Amazing job ! This entire experience was really healing, and I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to take that leap and invest in themselves.Thank you!

My husband surprised me for my 30th birthday with a session with Panos! He was amazing. We met early to beat the crowds, spent time at a few different classic Santorini spots, got to talking and learned some things about Greece and got so many beautiful photos (in under 2 days!!) that we will treasure forever!

We had an amazing photo session with Panos. He was very easy to work with and an extremely patient photographer who was willing to guide us - two shy people not used to being photographed - through the session. We felt comfortable and relaxed interacting with him. He's also talented and professional, and we absolutely loved his no-stress-no-fuss vibe. He's super responsive (and his website is very helpful and easy to navigate), and quick in delivering his photos, which we really appreciated. Oh and we LOVE our photos :)))))

We had a wonderful time being photographed by Panos.It was easy to communicate with him prior to our photo shoot and he knew exactly where he wanted to take us for each photo.Our photos are BEAUTIFUL and will be a lasting souvenir for years to come, reminding us of our amazing anniversary in Greece. Thank you, Panos, for your artistic expertise!
We recently had our morning photo shot in Oia with Panos ! From our initial communication, over the planning and details and until the execution and the delivery of our photos everything was spotless and professionally executed ! We couldn't be more positive over our experience and we can only highly recommend him for your own photoshot in santorini ! Apart from an excellent professional, he is also a great person who will make you feel relaxed through out the process ! Thank you very much Panos and rake care until we meet each other again for our evening 📸 sunset session in Imerovigli !!!!!

Perfect for our family photos. Meeting spot was easy to get to. He took all of the combinations of photos that we wanted including some solo photos of my daughter at each location. Received the link with photos very quickly and they turned out great. Such a perfect backdrop in Oia. Highly recommend The Santorini Photographer. Price was great too!

We had a lovely photo shoot with Panos. He curated the most picturesque locations in Santorini. He also accommodated some special requests for our family of 5. He was patient and took his time to ensure that we enjoyed our experience . We are very happy with the experience and the final pictures.

So great! We booked Panos for our family photos and it was such a great experience. We have now added a huge family portrait from the session to our wall in our home. I loved not having to worry about taking photos while on our vacation because I knew Panos would do such a great job and my family was so happy that they only had to do photos once during our vacation. I’m a portrait photographer so I am very picky about who I hire - Panos vibed well with our family of four (including teenagers!) and the photos are beautiful. This is one of the top three best decision we made on our Greece vacation.

We absolutely LOVE our pictures!! Panos was so friendly and easy to work with! He made us feel so comfortable, showing us how to stand and pose to make the pictures just right. He’s also a wealth of knowledge about the area. We had such a great time!
