Warning for anyone considering a flying dress shoot in Santorini: Do NOT choose Santorini Habibi. Choose someone else.
I know flying dress shoots get mixed reactions here, but if you’ve already decided to do one in Santorini, I wanted to share my experience with Santorini
Habibi.
He has a terrible attitude. He tells you not to be late, then shows up late himself. He stacks his bookings, so if the shoot before yours runs over…tough.
He also made several inappropriate comments toward me, including comments about my name & what he expected me to look like….I had already paid my deposit, so I tried to make the best of it but we had some words.
The biggest issue for me was the lack of privacy. There was no changing room, pop-up tent, or private area. I had to change on the side of the street while he held the dress over me and physically helped/touch me while I was changing. What’s frustrating is that I looked over & saw another flying dress photographer nearby who did have a pop-up tent for their client.
He also had noticeable body odor 😭 which made the experience even more unpleasant.With that being said, he does take great shots and he knows how to get you to pose, but if you’re spending your money on a flying dress shoot, please choose another photographer. I wish I had known all of this before putting down my deposit.
Update: this post did what I intended for it to do and that was to share my experience with those interested in doing a flying dress shoot. For those that are not, we can argue until we’re blue in the face on the originality, cost and why anyone would do it… you don’t have to get the appeal….Everything is subjective. The cost ranges from $80 to $3k and not a dime came out of your pocket. With that being said I’m no longer responding but will continue blocking rude comments.
💃🏾 oh look there’s even a flying dress emoji.
