Tenerife: Professional Photo Shoot with 50 Photos
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Diving Atlantis · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Tenerife looks good in any light. This professional photo shoot packs 50 edited photos into one hour, using southern Tenerife’s scenery as your backdrop.
What I like most is the mix of settings—mountains, jungle-feel spots, beach views, city streets, and even volcanic backdrops—and the fact that the team gives you practical posing guidance so you don’t just stand there. I also appreciate how personal it feels for a private group, with the photographer and guide tailoring the session around what will look best.
One consideration: it’s timed tightly (about 1 hour) and they choose the best locations for you, so if you want full control over every scene, this won’t be that kind of shoot.

Why Tenerife Works So Well for a Photo Shoot

Tenerife’s south coast gives you variety without a long logistics puzzle. In a short time window, you can go from coastline brightness to darker volcanic tones, and it all looks like it belongs together on one photo set. That matters, because the goal here isn’t just getting a few “vacation selfies.” It’s leaving with a coherent set of images that actually feels like Tenerife.
I also like that this isn’t dependent on you “finding” a great spot yourself. The team selects one of the best locations and then works through the different looks they can produce with Tenerife’s scenery. You show up, they steer, and you focus on being present in front of the camera.

The 1-Hour Session: What the Timing Really Means

This is built for the real world. You’re on the schedule for about 1 hour, starting before sunset. That timing is smart because the light usually softens right when it stops being harsh, so faces and skin tones look better and the shadows look more flattering.
Plan for a fast, upbeat workflow:
- You’re picked up and get oriented quickly.
- You receive information on how to pose so you’re not guessing.
- You move through different “sets” (think: different backgrounds) rather than repeating the same angle over and over.
- You wrap up after enough variety to leave you with a full story worth sharing.
The upside is that you don’t burn half a day. The trade-off is that there’s no slow wandering. If you’re the type who wants unlimited resets—one more minute to fix hair, one more turn of your body—this may feel a little brisk. You’ll want to bring a calm mindset and trust the process.
Pickup From Puerto Santiago to el Medano: Easy Start, Clear Boundaries

Convenience matters when you’re doing something outside the normal sightseeing routine. Pickup and drop-off are included, and the route is tied to Puerto Santiago up to el Medano. You’ll get the exact meeting hour by email, which is helpful because timing is the whole point with a pre-sunset shoot.
Practically, you should plan to be ready at pickup time—snacks aren’t listed as included, and you’ll be out for only about an hour total. If you’re traveling with kids, it helps to know this is the kind of session where patience matters, and the team seems prepared for that.
In past sessions, the guide named Chris showed real patience when photographing a 2-year-old, keeping angles working even when kids don’t cooperate the way adults do. That’s not a guarantee, but it’s a good sign that the team knows how to handle real families, not just perfect poses.
The Backdrops: Mountains, Jungle Feel, Beach, City, and Volcanoes
The most exciting part is the variety in the backgrounds. The shoot is set up so you can be photographed in front of:
- mountains
- jungle-style scenery
- the beach
- city settings
- volcanic landscapes
This is why it works as “one hour, many moods.” You’re not stuck in one dramatic viewpoint for every photo. Instead, you get a mix that reads like different Tenerife moments: warm coastal energy, greener textures, urban lines, and darker volcanic drama.
There’s also a quiet benefit here: you don’t have to decide where to go. The provider chooses the best location(s), and at least some sessions include driving to spots many holidaymakers would never find on their own. That’s great if you want photos that look specific to Tenerife, not generic.
If you’re hoping to recreate a particular pose you’ve seen online, you’ll still get help—but mentally, go in ready to adapt. The team will guide you to positions that match the background, not the other way around.
The Team Experience: Posing Help That Makes You Look Natural
This isn’t just a camera-and-pray photo session. You get coaching on how to pose like a real photo model. That coaching is valuable because it changes your body language quickly. Instead of thinking about what to do with your hands or where to look, you follow simple direction and let the photographer shape the final look.
From the reviews, you can see why this part lands well:
- People praised the relaxed, easy pace while still getting good angles.
- Chris was specifically mentioned for putting effort into making things fit the group.
- One highlight was the calm patience when photographing a young child.
So yes, you’ll be “the star for the evening,” but the way it’s delivered matters. A good shoot shouldn’t feel like a production where you’re constantly correcting yourself. It should feel like a friendly team making you look good without stressing you out.
The 50 Professionally Edited Photos: What You’re Buying
You take home 50 photos, edited with professional software. Even if you’ve had photos taken before, the difference usually shows up in three places:
- Better color and contrast (your Tenerife tones look like Tenerife, not like a phone filter).
- Cleaner composition and framing.
- Consistency across a set, so your photos don’t look like totally different days.
Because you get so many shots, you’ll also have options. A lot of sessions give you a small number of usable images, and then you’re left trying to choose favorites. Here, you should have enough variety to pick different styles—close-ups, full-body shots, group moments—without feeling shorted.
Also, the editing is part of the value. You’re not paying for “time behind a camera.” You’re paying for the finished product: a ready-to-share set of images that will last longer than the sunset itself.
Price and Value: When $235 for Up to 4 Makes Sense

The price is $235 per group up to 4, for a duration of about 1 hour, with hotel pickup/drop-off and 50 edited photos included. On its face, it’s not a bargain-basement activity. But for what you actually get, it can be solid value—especially if you’re splitting cost.
Here’s how I’d judge whether it’s worth it for you:
- If you want professional results you can’t reliably recreate with your own camera, this saves time and stress.
- If you’re traveling with a partner or family, the group format helps. Couples and families tend to like this because everyone gets represented without one person becoming the constant photographer.
- If your trip is short and you only have one “big memory day,” having a dedicated photo session can be more efficient than trying to book random photo times on your own schedule.
One practical note: it’s stated that clothing, makeup, and hair services aren’t included. So keep that in mind. You don’t need to hire styling to do well, but if you want a polished look, bring the outfit and basics you’ll want on camera.
What to Bring (Besides Your Best Smile)
You’ll be outside around evening time, and the company recommends bringing some warm clothing because it can cool down. That’s not a tiny detail. Tenerife evenings can surprise you—especially if there’s wind.
Also think about comfort:
- Wear shoes you can stand and walk in for quick location changes.
- Bring calm energy. The session moves through multiple backgrounds, and your job is to stay relaxed when directions come fast.
- Alcohol and drugs aren’t allowed, so keep it simple and focused on the shoot.
If you’re traveling with kids, pack the usual: patience, water if you need it, and a backup plan for attention spans. The good news is the team appears used to keeping photos working even with little ones.
Who This Photo Shoot Is Best For
This works best if you want professional photos without turning your vacation into a photo project.
It’s a good fit for:
- couples who want a clean set of romantic travel photos
- families who want everyone included (not just whoever holds the camera)
- solo travelers who want high-quality images that feel curated, not accidental
- travelers who don’t want to spend time scouting locations
If you’re the type who loves planning every viewpoint, you might feel limited because the team chooses the location(s). But if you’d rather trade decision-making for results, this is a strong choice.
Should You Book This Photo Shoot?
Book it if you care about leaving Tenerife with photos that actually look professional and varied, and you’re happy to let the team handle the scenery and pacing. The combination of 50 edited photos, pre-sunset light, pickup included, and posing help makes it a vacation-friendly way to get “memory-level” images.
Skip it if you want full artistic control over every location and timeline, or if you dislike timed activities. Also, if you’re hoping the team provides makeup or styling, that isn’t included—so plan your outfit and look accordingly.
