What we make.

You are hosting a private stay — a family, a celebration, a wellness week, a yacht charter — and want it documented quietly.

Private island stays

Velaa, Soneva, Cheval Blanc, Waldorf, One&Only, the Four Seasons — whole-stay coverage arranged with the villa host and butler team.

Yacht charters

On board for the crossing, the sandbanks and the evenings at anchor; delivered daily to the owner's suite.

Milestone celebrations

Fortieths, fiftieths, vow renewals and reunions on a rented island — the guests, the dinners, the fireworks.

Wellness & retreat groups

Yoga, breathwork and coaching retreats: sessions, the island, and portraits of every participant for the host's next programme.

Family holidays

A week of grandparents and children, photographed lightly every day rather than in one posed hour.

Books & film

A designed hardback book and a short film delivered after the stay, with every frame in a private online gallery.

Questions.

How is a retreat priced?

By the day, from US$1,850 for a full day and reduced for multi-day stays, plus the transfer to your island or vessel. A designed book and film are quoted separately.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes — an NDA and a private, password-protected gallery are standard for every retreat. Nothing is published without written consent.

Can you photograph on a yacht?

Yes. I have worked on charters across the central atolls and can join for the whole itinerary or meet the vessel at an island.

Plan a retreat

Tell me the dates and the island.

A session, a campaign, a private stay or a conference — send the dates, the island and what you need. I come back within six hours with options and hold the date for five days.

I reply personally — 07:00–22:00 Maldives time.
