Istanbul Rooftop Photography Tour

Elevate your Istanbul experience with a rooftop photography tour, capturing breathtaking views of the city’s skyline, iconic landmarks, and the Bosphorus from exclusive vantage points.

It was a fantastic photoshoot experience with Raha! He reached out just a few hours after I booked, keeping me well-informed via WhatsApp and encouraging me to ask any questions. He patiently explained details about the flying dress, extra outfits, and even the right shoes for the shoot. On the morning of the session, I arrived at the studio with my two brothers. Thanks to Google Maps, it was easy to find. Raha was there with his team of three, who were incredibly helpful—assisting with the flying dress, feeding the birds, and guiding me through poses. Raha was extremely patient and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the shoot. What made the experience even more special was his flexibility. After the rooftop shoot, he generously offered to include a session with the lamps, which wasn’t part of the original arrangement, but I gladly accepted. He even captured some great video footage for me and involved my brothers in the experience. Overall, it was an amazing, well-organized, and enjoyable photoshoot. Highly recommend Raha and his team for a memorable experience!

The studio employees were also so friendly and helpful, assisting with the dress and jewelry selection to ensure everything looked just right. Raha took his time to guide me through the session, helping me find my best angles and capturing truly stunning shots. The rooftop session with Raha is an absolute must-do when in Istanbul—even if it’s just a short stop on a cruise, like it was for me.

This is an absolute must-book when visiting Istanbul! I had been seeing these kinds of photos all over the internet, but many of the other booking options felt like mass-produced "photo factories" with ridiculously high prices—just because they’re trendy on Instagram. Then I found Raha on TripAdvisor, and every glowing review turned out to be 100% accurate! Raha was incredibly communicative and flexible with the booking, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. He was also super easygoing, helping me choose the perfect dress and guiding me to the best angles for truly stunning shots. The final pictures are incredible, and all my friends are absolutely obsessed with them! I'm so thankful I did this because I know my future self will appreciate having such fabulous photos as a keepsake. As a solo traveler, this was a fun, easy, and rewarding experience. I would highly recommend booking with Raha! Honestly, I might even return for another shoot in a different style.

From the very beginning, the experience was well-organized and professional. They first asked for our staying dates to schedule the photoshoot based on the best weather conditions. Communication was smooth through WhatsApp, and they sent us the location, which was conveniently near the Grand Bazaar. When we met the photographer, he welcomed us warmly, making us feel comfortable right away. Luckily, it was a bright and sunny day, which made for stunning photos. The photographer and his team were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the session. He took our pictures beautifully, patiently showing us the shots whenever we asked and guiding us through the best poses. He even recorded some amazing videos for us! The rooftop had a breathtaking view, making the entire experience even more special. Being in a new country, we initially had some doubts about the service, but they completely reassured us with their professionalism and kindness. Overall, our experience was excellent, and the photographer’s style was truly impressive. Highly recommended!

I don’t even know where to start—it was such a wonderful experience! Mr. Raha was a true gentleman, incredibly supportive, and made the entire session so enjoyable. The location had a unique, historic charm that added to the magic of the shoot. What impressed me even more was how quickly Mr. Raha sent the photos, which was perfect for my travel schedule.

It was a shared venue used by multiple photographers, with a variety of dresses to choose from—some modest, others more elaborate and frilly. There were also props like jewelry and crowns, allowing for a fully customized look. I’d recommend checking out the rooftop setting before selecting a dress to avoid any color clashes. If you're planning a shoot, it’s a good idea to put extra effort into your hair and makeup beforehand—false eyelashes, contact lenses, or any personal styling touches—since there may not be women available to assist. Bringing a friend along could be helpful for last-minute adjustments. We initially contacted Raha for the booking but ended up reserving through Firoozeh, whom we found on Instagram. However, we never actually met Firoozeh, and Raha turned out to be our photographer. He was quite mysterious at first but later revealed that Firoozeh is his wife and they work together. Despite fewer birds being around that day, Raha did an excellent job editing them into the photos. We paid in cash and received all the photos via WhatsApp a couple of days later—over 600 shots! After selecting a few for further editing, Raha returned them to us promptly within a couple of days. His communication was excellent throughout the process. Overall, it was a fun and unique experience, and the final photos turned out beautifully!

Raha is incredibly kind and professional, and the entire team was so warm and welcoming! The studio is beautifully designed, spacious, and offers a variety of stunning backgrounds. The rooftop scenery was absolutely breathtaking, adding a magical touch to the shoot. The whole experience was comfortable and easygoing. Raha first took photos of me in my own outfit, and then I had the chance to wear one of their gorgeous flying dresses for a small fee. They even went the extra mile by taking personal videos and pictures with my own phone, which was such a thoughtful touch! I received over 800 vivid and stunning photos in a file within just 24 hours, and Raha quickly touched up some as per my request. The efficiency, quality, and overall experience were beyond amazing—highly recommended!
