What to Expect from the Experience

This photo session is designed to complement your adrenaline-filled water sports activity with professional-grade snapshots. The process begins with a quick meeting with your photographer, Alessia Battaglia, who is well-versed in capturing action shots in dynamic environments. You will agree on the best day and time for your shoot, based on weather forecasts — a smart move to maximize your chances of great lighting and calm conditions.

The actual shoot lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours, typically at a spot that’s best suited for your sport and current weather conditions. The photographer uses equipment with a 600mm zoom lens, which allows for capturing crisp, action-packed images from a distance without disturbing your flow. You might find the sessions to be quite flexible, with Alessia often staying in touch after booking to refine the timing and location.

One of the standout features of this experience is the opportunity to book for yourself or with friends and family, often at a special rate. If you’re traveling with a group, the photographer can accommodate more people comfortably, making it a fun, shared experience. The session is private, and the focus is on capturing your unique style and moments rather than mass photography.

The Itinerary: What Makes it Special

Unlike typical sightseeing tours, this experience is purely about the water sports session and the photos that follow. Once you’ve arranged your booking, you’ll be prompted to choose a day that aligns with your schedule — but don’t worry if weather conditions change; the photographer keeps in touch to optimize the shoot date.

On the day of your session, you’ll meet your photographer at the agreed-upon location, which is likely to be a well-chosen spot with good visibility and space for action shots. The setting could be on the beach, near the surf break, or at an ideal spot for kitesurfing, depending on the conditions. During your session, Alessia will zoom in on capturing your most exciting moves, smiling moments, and even the splash and spray that make water sports so lively.

The real value lies in the photos themselves. Reviewers often note the high quality of the images, with one commenting on the “amazing editing” that makes each shot pop. Others appreciate how Alessia’s experience shines through in her ability to anticipate the best angles and moments, capturing your natural expressions and movement with clarity.

While the session itself is relatively short, just under two hours, the impact lasts much longer. You’ll receive all your photos in high resolution within 2-3 days, allowing plenty of time for sharing on social media or printing for souvenirs.

Why This Is a Great Investment

When considering the value, it’s worth noting that professional photos of action sports can be pricey, but these images are a worthwhile keepsake. You’re paying for both the skill of the photographer and the convenience of having ready-to-share, edited pictures. It’s especially appealing for those who want to remember their session vividly but don’t want to worry about taking photos themselves.

The experience doesn’t include surf or kitesurf equipment, so bring your own gear, which might be a minor inconvenience but also ensures you’re comfortable and familiar with your equipment. This aspect keeps the cost lower since the focus is solely on the photography.

Pricing is competitive considering the quality and the personalized nature of the shoot. Plus, the option to book with friends or family makes it a fun group activity — and a way to get more value for your money.
