You meet your photographer under a bright Cretan sky, salt air tugging at loose hair and the Aegean light sharpening every edge. Hersonissos presents a mix of sunwashed beaches, narrow old-town lanes, and low limestone headlands where wind-bent tamarisk trees seem to pose for the camera. The hour unfolds as a relaxed, guided session: candid frames on the promenade, posed portraits against ochre stone, and silhouette shots at water’s edge as the light shifts.
