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.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Panos! We hired him to capture the beauty of Santorini while celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, and he exceeded every expectation.

From the moment we met, his warm, relaxed nature put us completely at ease, allowing us to genuinely enjoy the experience and be our best selves in front of the camera. His local knowledge was invaluable—he knew all the shortcuts and hidden spots to avoid the crowds, making the entire shoot feel effortless.

Within just a few days, we received a gallery of absolutely breathtaking photos. The quality is truly exceptional—every image looks like it belongs in a luxury wedding album. These are memories we will treasure forever.

If you’re visiting Santorini, I can’t recommend Panos highly enough. Booking a photo session with him will be one of the very best investments of your time on the island!

I picked panos by his amazing pictures and wanted to make sure he would be our actual photographer. He responded promptly and assured us he would. He had great communication and was early to our appointment. He knew all the best locations for our photos. He was polite. Professional. He even shared Santorini facts as we walked around. He knew what he was doing. He helped direct us so we took the best pictures. I was so happy with everything. I would highly recommend panos. He is amazing. The pictures were sent to me within 48 hours as promised and they look beautiful.

This was such an amazing experience! I was very apprehensive at first but Panos made myself and my Fiancé feel super comfortable and relaxed from the beginning which I believe you can see in the photos. I had proposed to my girlfriend on the day so this was a surprise engagement photoshoot and all the photos perfectly reflected that , Panos absolutely understood the type of images we wanted and he delivered. Receiving the collection of professionally edited photos only two days later while we were still on holiday was such a special touch from Panos and phenomenal customer service. The photos themselves were amazing, we both absolutely love them and will be getting them framed and sent to family immediately. Panos clearly knew the local area of imerovigli well, and took us to all kinds of different locations and captured some truly beautiful photos. I couldn’t recommend Panos and this service enough!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely incredible experience with Panos! If you are looking for the absolute best engagement photographer in Santorini, look no further than Panos. From the second we met him, he completely eased our nerves and made us feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera.On the day of our shoot, we faced intense winds, and we were worried it would ruin the photos. Panos didn't miss a beat! He worked his magic with the wind, guided us effortlessly, and turned a challenging weather day into a stunning creative backdrop. The final photos are absolutely astonishing—cinematic, breathtaking, and perfectly captured. We truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you so much, Panos, for giving us memories we will cherish forever!

We had an absolutely amazing morning photoshoot with Pano in Oia. Our photographer was not only incredibly talented but also so kind and patient with our 3.5-year-old toddler — even while we were managing a stroller through the narrow streets!

He guided us to hidden photo spots with hardly any people around and even took us through a special path to capture the famous 3 blue domes — without waiting in the long tourist lines. The results were breathtaking — every photo perfectly captured the beauty of Oia and the joy of our family moments.

We couldn’t be happier with the experience and the stunning pictures. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional, family-friendly, and fun photoshoot 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!

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.

Incredible photographer and a delightful person to work with! He was fast yet so talented and we shot at many locations. The pictures were provided in just a few days. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
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!

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.

Panos is an amazing photographer and captured the most stunning photos for us in Santorini. He was extremely personable and made us feel comfortable. My fiancé and I enjoyed our time with him. We couldn’t recommend a better photographer.
We had an amazing experience with Panos, the Santorini Photographer!
He is so friendly and kind right from the second you book your appointment, he keep in touch and give you all the information you need.
We honestly could not be happier with the result. 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!

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 :)))))
I really wanted to propose in Santorini and I came across Panos’ profile, I’m so glad I went with him! He made sure I did it smooth as possible , huge thanks to him. I’ll definitely recommend.

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!

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.
