Flytographer

Flytographer is a holiday photography company that works with a network of local photographers around the world. In Spain it has photographers in Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Bilbao, San Sebastián, Málaga, Marbella, Sitges, Palma, Menorca, Ibiza and Tenerife. You book through its website: you choose a city, one of its photo routes and a photographer from those shown with their photos, and the company takes care of the rest.

The packages

The price is the same in every destination and is charged in US dollars. There are four sizes: 30 minutes with 20 photos, for $325; one hour with 35 photos, for $425; an hour and a half with 50 photos, for $590; and two hours with 65 photos, for $715. Each package allows a maximum number of people (six in the shortest, ten in the one-hour package) and each extra person costs $75. There are dedicated packages for a surprise marriage proposal, from $425, with a conversation beforehand with the photographer to prepare it.

What you receive

After booking, you get an itinerary for the session with the meeting point and time, and you can talk to the photographer through a chat. You meet ten minutes beforehand so you can tell them what photos you want. They choose the best ones and deliver them with colour correction and light editing, in a private gallery sent by email within five working days. Skin or body retouching is not included. Some photographers charge a travel supplement, which appears on their profile.

Cancellation

With more than fifteen days' notice you get 90% back. Between fifteen and seven days, half if the booking had already been confirmed; within the last seven days, nothing. If the weather makes the session impossible, the refund is full. It is best to book at least a week ahead, and four weeks ahead in high season.
