Family & Group
on Dhigurah
Candid-first sessions that work with kids, grandparents, and friend groups. We shoot loose and playful, then gather the classic all-together frames. Photographed on Dhigurah, Alifu Dhaalu Atoll, by locals who know the island's best light.
Dhigurah, literally 'long island', is a slender 3 km ribbon of jungle and sand in South Ari Atoll, about 97 km from Male, with a village of 761 people clustered at its northern end.
Planning a family photoshoot on Dhigurah? The island sits about 97 km from Malé in Alifu Dhaalu Atoll, roughly 120 minutes by speedboat. It has a designated bikini beach, so swimwear frames are possible on the tourist stretch. Tell us your dates and we'll schedule your family photoshoot around Dhigurah's golden hour.
Everything, handled
How it looks
Family & Group on Dhigurah: quick answers
We shoot loose and playful first (running, splashing, building sand) and gather the classic all-together frames when everyone is warmed up. Sessions are paced around the kids, not a shot list.
Early morning is often best with small children: softer light, cooler air and empty beaches. Late afternoon golden hour works well for older kids and groups.
Speedboat from Malé in 120 minutes (~$65), or the public ferry (390 min). If you're already staying on Dhigurah, we 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 Dhigurah session around it and move between jetty, beach and palm lines as the light changes.
