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.
