Your photoshoot
on Gan
Professional photography on Gan, Addu Atoll — honeymoon and couples sessions, proposals, families, and drone aerials, photographed by locals who know the island's best light.
About Gan
Gan is the southernmost island of Addu Atoll and the site of Gan International Airport, the main gateway to the far south, with around 1,100 people on 2.3 km². From 1941 to 1976 it was a British military base, and the legacy remains in its wide roads, old barracks, war memorial and the Equator Village hotel built into the former officers' quarters. It is connected by the link road to Feydhoo, Maradhoo and Hithadhoo, so it doubles as the starting point for the whole of Addu's lagoon, reefs and the British Loyalty wreck.

Photoshoot on Gan — FAQ
We arrange boat or domestic transfer, or pair you with a Coora photographer already in Addu Atoll. If you're already staying on Gan, we simply meet you there — we photograph guests on their own island.
Golden hour — roughly the last 60–90 minutes before sunset, and the first hour after sunrise. We schedule every Gan session around it and move between jetty, beach and palm lines as the light changes.
It depends on the beach: swimwear is only allowed on designated tourist beaches on inhabited islands. We confirm Gan's rules before your shoot and plan looks and locations to match.
Often yes. Drone rules vary by island and resort; we check Gan's current permissions before your session and, where flying isn't possible, plan aerials from a nearby sandbank.
