Cairo Photoshoots

Cairo photoshoots are built around the Giza pyramids and the city beneath them — the Sphinx, the desert plateau, and the Islamic Cairo quarter with its minarets and medieval gates. The pyramids are best at sunrise, when the plateau is quiet and the light rakes across the stone. Later in the day the heat haze flattens everything. The panorama point to the south-west gives you all three pyramids in one frame. Islamic Cairo — Khan el-Khalili, the Al-Muizz street mosques — holds warm reflected light and colour through the afternoon. October to April is the comfortable season. Your edited photographs arrive within 48 hours in a private online gallery.
