The same session (the dress, the direction, the assistant, the hundred-plus photographs) in three landscapes that produce completely different pictures. What changes between them is the light, the horizon, and how much of your day it takes.
45 minutes from Cairo
Open dune country close enough to Cairo to shoot at first light and be back for breakfast. No skyline, no other people, nothing in the frame that dates the photograph, just sand, wind and whichever colour you chose.
Getting there. Approximately 45 minutes from central Cairo, towards New Cairo.
An hour before the gates open
The Giza site does not open until eight. From a rooftop there is no gate, so at seven the pyramids are catching the first low sun, the plateau below is still empty, and the only person in your photographs is you.
Getting there. A private rooftop with views of the Pyramids of Giza. Door-to-door transport included; no entry ticket to the archaeological site is needed.
Three hours from Cairo
The furthest of the three and the strangest-looking. Pale dunes running down to still water, with a horizon that does not look like anywhere else in Egypt. A full day rather than a morning, and the photographs are the reason people take it.
Getting there. Approximately three hours from central Cairo. White sand dunes, waterfalls and lakes.
The same in all three
Collected from your hotel or address and brought back afterwards. Nothing to arrange and nothing to find.
Not a handful of selects. More than a hundred edited frames from one session.
Rented from the collection for the shoot, in the colour you choose. Included in the price. Choosing one does not change what you pay.
One person whose whole job is the fabric: holding the train, throwing it, keeping it out of the sand between frames.
Directed throughout. You do not need to know how to pose. That is the photographer's job and the dress does the rest.
Your edited gallery, within six to ten days of the shoot.
