Private photoshoot
A long dress, the trade wind and four hundred hectares of dune
A flying dress photoshoot is built around one thing: several metres of light fabric, lifted and held open by the wind. Gran Canaria is one of the best places in Europe to do it, because the north-easterly trade wind blows across the Maspalomas dunes almost every day of the year. The dunes give you a clean background in every direction — pale sand, sky, no buildings, nothing to date the photograph. The shoreline at Playa del Inglés gives you the same fabric against moving water, which reads differently and is worth doing in the same session if you have the time. The practical trick is wind direction. Your photographer positions you so the fabric blows across the frame rather than into you, and works in bursts — the dress is thrown and caught, thrown and caught, and the frame that works is the one a half-second after the throw. Low sun makes it. Early morning or the last two hours of the day, when the sand holds its ridges and the light comes through the fabric rather than bouncing off it.

Flying Dress photoshoot FAQ
How much does a Flying Dress photoshoot in Gran Canaria cost?
A 45-minute Flying Dress photoshoot in Gran Canaria costs €179 and includes 20 edited photographs. Published packages range from €179 to €279.
Do you provide the dress?
Tell us when you book and we will confirm what is included for your session and what you may want to bring. Many people arrive with a dress they already love, and if you are buying one, look for several metres of light chiffon or silk in a single strong colour.
What colour works best in the dunes?
Strong, saturated colour. Red, cobalt, emerald and yellow all separate cleanly from pale sand and blue sky, and they photograph beautifully when the sun comes through the fabric from behind. White and cream wash out against bright sand, which is the one thing to avoid here.
Is it windy enough?
Almost always. The north-easterly trade wind blows across the south of the island most days of the year, which is exactly why flying dress photography works here and why it is harder in sheltered Mediterranean resorts. On a rare still day your photographer creates the movement by hand.
Can we shoot in the dunes if they are protected?
The dune field is a nature reserve with marked access routes and restricted areas. Your photographer knows which routes are open and keeps to them. A few minutes along a permitted corridor already puts you out of sight of the resorts, so this is no limitation in practice.
Can more than one of us do it?
Yes, and it photographs well — two or three dresses in different colours moving together is a stronger image than one. Tell us how many of you there will be when you book so your photographer can plan the positions and the wind direction.
