Travelling alone can be exhilarating and liberating. You get to make all the decisions about where to eat, what to see, where to go. But it can be really hard to take great photographs of your solo trip without resorting to a cheesy selfie stick. When travelling in Valletta, Malta, Irina, an actress in the United States, came up with a great way to make the most of her vacation and showcase the incredible historic scenery around her.
Actress and Top Model
Using a professional fashion photographer in Malta by the name of Tumer, Irina’s photographs look more like a high-end magazine fashion shoot than typical vacation photos. Wearing a striking black outfit with statement jewelry, Irina used Valetta’s historic streets combined with the modern architecture of the Malta Parliament building to her advantage, not to mention the tropical gardens and views of the Mediterranean Sea.
Valletta is the capital of Malta and features unsurpassed Baroque architecture. This elegant but small city is full of lots of wonderful sights, with hidden gems around each corner, and much of this is captured in Irina’s holiday photographs. Tumer was also able to use the naturally soft pink and yellow stone of the surrounding buildings, combined with colorful doors, shops and even laundry that had been hung out to dry to shoot unique and vibrant images that Irina can treasure for a lifetime, and even use for her future career.
Tumer and Irina were following in familiar company as Valletta has been used as the backdrop for many famous fashion photo shoots, including campaigns by Calvin Klein, H&M, and Esprit. With its stunning scenery, it is easy to see why.
Lots of Choice for That 8×10 Glossy!
Unlike most holiday photo sessions, Irina knew that she wanted images that could be used to showcase her various expressions and personality – things that casting agents look at while perusing photos of actresses for potential roles. Instead of a simple, “normal” background, Irina used Valletta as her unique setting, putting her apart from the standard images. And she will be able to use all of these unique images for her future career, as they show her to her best advantage.
Tumer took photographs in a number of locations, and from several vantage points, including distance shots and close-ups. All of the photographs are of such good quality they could easily be submitted as magazine images. Besides its incredible historic scenery, Malta is also known for its great natural light, which was likewise used well by Tumer to showcase Irina.
