Looking for a photographer at Yash Nature Resort? The resort is on the island of Dhoores in Dhaalu (South Nilandhe) Atoll — a small island of 33 villas, which means empty beaches at sunset and no queue for the jetty. I am Maldivian, based in Malé, and I have spent thirteen years working sessions like yours on islands like this one.
There is no Yash Nature Resort gallery on the site yet. The islands around it in Dhaalu (South Nilandhe) Atoll are below, photographed in the same weather and the same light. If you are staying at Yash Nature Resort, send me your dates — I will confirm the resort's photographer policy and come back with two or three session options.
The travel fee to Yash Nature Resort is US$847, always quoted on its own line, so the package price is the package price.
The light at Yash Nature Resort.
At Yash Nature Resort we start about an hour and a quarter before sunset on the western beach, move through the shallows as the light turns gold, and finish on the over-water walkway once the lights come on. Central atoll islands have the classic Maldivian sunset — long, gold, and over the water. Sunrise sessions are quieter still, and the water is at its clearest.

Questions about Yash Nature Resort.
How much does a photographer cost at Yash Nature 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 Yash Nature Resort is US$847. Weddings are quoted on the ceremony.
Can I book an outside photographer at Yash Nature Resort?
Most Maldivian resorts welcome a photographer booked directly by a guest; a few have an exclusive in-house studio. I confirm Yash Nature 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 Yash Nature 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 Yash Nature Resort?
Yash Nature Resort is reached from Velana International Airport by resort transfer; I travel the same way, on the day. 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 Yash Nature Resort. Every image is delivered in full resolution with a personal licence to print and share.
Which season is best at Yash Nature Resort?
Dhaalu 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.
