About Colombo
Colombo is the commercial capital and the country's port, a low, wide city on the west coast where Portuguese, Dutch and British layers sit under a fast-changing skyline. The Galle Face promenade runs along the sea at its centre, the Pettah bazaar quarter still trades street by street, and the Lotus Tower now marks the horizon from most of the city.

Where we shoot in Colombo
A long ocean-front lawn facing due west, which makes it the city's sunset location. Kite sellers and food stalls fill it in the evening.
Dense market streets, each given over to a different trade. Strong colour and shade; busy from early morning.
Colonial banks and warehouses around the port, quiet at weekends when the offices empty.
What we shoot in Colombo
Practical notes for Colombo
The city faces west, so the sea front is an evening session and the fort streets work better in the morning before the heat.
Parts of the fort quarter and the port are restricted and photography is not permitted. We keep to the public streets and the promenade.
Photoshoot in Colombo: FAQ
We travel to Colombo by road and arrive before your session starts. Tell us where you are staying and we will meet you there. If you are already staying in Colombo, we meet you at your hotel or at the location.
Golden hour: roughly the last 60–90 minutes before sunset, and the first hour after sunrise. We schedule every Colombo session around it and move between jetty, beach and palm lines as the light changes.
Most public beaches and streets in Colombo need no permit. Heritage sites and some private grounds charge an entry or filming fee, which we check before your date.
Drone rules in Sri Lanka vary by site, and some heritage and military areas are closed to flights. We check the rules for Colombo before your date and plan aerials around them.
