Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort sits on the island of Gaakoshibee in Shaviyani (North Miladhunmadulu) Atoll. It is 149 villas across the island, enough to choose a quiet stretch of beach for the session. I have been photographing on Maldivian resort islands since 2013, and every session here runs the same way: I arrive on the resort's own transfer, meet you at your villa or the jetty, and we walk into the light.

I have not yet published a shoot from Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort, but I have worked across Shaviyani (North Miladhunmadulu) Atoll and the shoots from neighbouring islands below show the light you can expect. Tell me your dates and I will confirm access to Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort within six hours.

The travel fee to Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort is US$780, always quoted on its own line, so the package price is the package price.

The light at Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort.

At Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort we start about an hour and a quarter before sunset on the lagoon side, where the water is stillest, move through the shallows as the light turns gold, and finish on the jetty at blue hour. The northern atolls get slightly less rain than Malé in Hulhangu, and the light in Iruvai is as clean as anywhere in the country. Sunrise sessions are quieter still, and the water is at its clearest.

Questions about Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort.

How much does a photographer cost at Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort?

Portrait sessions start at US$320 (Tropical Memories, 20–40 minutes) and run to US$4,250 for a full day with drone and a sunset cruise. The travel fee to Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort is US$780. Weddings are quoted on the ceremony.

Can I book an outside photographer at Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort?

Most Maldivian resorts welcome a photographer booked directly by a guest; a few have an exclusive in-house studio. I confirm Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort's current policy with the resort before you pay anything — usually within six hours of your enquiry — and if the island is exclusive I will say so plainly.

What is the best time of day for photographs at Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort?

The last seventy-five minutes before sunset, then the blue hour. Sunrise is the alternative if you want the beach to yourselves and the flattest water. Midday is for the drone, not for portraits.

How do you get to Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort?

Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort is a 55-minute seaplane from Velana International Airport in Malé. I book the same transfer through the resort and arrive on the day of the session.

When will we receive the photographs?

A sneak peek within 24 hours and the full edited gallery within 48 — often before you leave Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort. Every image is delivered in full resolution with a personal licence to print and share.

Which season is best at Sirru Fen Fushi - Private Lagoon Resort?

Shaviyani Atoll has two monsoons: Iruvai (late November to early April) is the dry season with clear skies and still lagoons; Hulhangu (April to November) brings dramatic clouds, short showers and the best sunsets. I shoot year round; the plan simply changes with the sky.
