Your photoshoot
on Gan
Professional photography on Gan, Laamu Atoll — honeymoon and couples sessions, proposals, families, and drone aerials, photographed by locals who know the island's best light.
About Gan
Gan in Laamu Atoll is one of the longest islands in the Maldives, a green ribbon of about 4,800 people some 250 km south of Malé, joined by causeway and road to Kadhdhoo airport, Fonadhoo and Maandhoo in the longest road link in the country. Its length gives it long, empty beaches and shady lanes, and its past includes Buddhist stupa ruins among the interior woods. Laamu's outer reefs carry surf — the Yin Yang break is the best known — and the atoll's channels and sandbanks are within easy reach by boat.

Photoshoot on Gan — FAQ
We arrange boat or domestic transfer, or pair you with a Coora photographer already in Laamu 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.
