Bangkok pool photoshoot, done at the right place

We are picky about pools. Most of them are mediocre, with bad light, cluttered backdrops, or no room to move. Talk to us before you book your spot.

Where we shoot

At your hotel pool

We shoot pool sessions at your hotel pool. The best pools are uncovered and quiet, so you have good light and room to move.

Some hotels restrict professional photography at the pool, so double-check the rules first. Many block professional cameras but allow smartphones, which makes no real difference but is enforced anyway.

Before you commit to a pool, check three things:

The pool is uncovered, so you are not stuck posing in shadow
The sun is not directly behind you the whole time
There is room to move around without crowds, chairs, or umbrellas in every frame

If you are unsure, send us photos of your pool and we will check it and tell you honestly if it is worth shooting at.

Honest note

"Most pools we get asked about are mediocre. Bad light, boring backdrops, or no space."

Hotel and condo pools that look great on Instagram often shoot poorly in reality. We would rather tell you up front than waste your session on a pool that does not work.

What to bring

Styling that works against blue water

Colors that contrast with the water photograph best. Reds, whites, warm yellows, and earthy tones stand out against the blue. Both color and black and white work well for pool sessions.

Outfits

Two changes works well. One dry look, one swim-friendly. We will plan the order so the dry shots come first.

Props

Towel, sunglasses, hat, a drink. A floating breakfast tray if you want one. Skip giant inflatables unless that is the look.

Makeup

Waterproof if you plan to get in. The session is in the afternoon, so it should hold up through both dry and wet shots.

Packages

Three options, fixed prices

All packages include high-resolution edited files. Makeup is available as an add-on.

The session takes place at your hotel pool. Send us photos of the pool before booking so we can check it works.

When we shoot

Afternoon and golden hour

All our pool sessions run in the afternoon or later. Light direction matters at the pool a lot, so we time the shoot to the sun.

Mid to late afternoon

Bright, direct light that turns the water a clear blue. Works for energetic, high-contrast shots.

Golden hour

The hour before sunset. Warm tones, low sun angle, no harsh shadows under the eyes. Best window for portraits.
