- How can I book a photo shoot? What is the payment procedure?
To book a photo shoot, contact me in any way convenient for you: WhatsApp (wa.me/33631650866), email (annalekse1@yandex.com), Instagram (www.instagram.com/interlaken.photographer/).
We discuss all the details of the photo shoot: the date, place and time of the photo shoot, your preferences for the photos. Next, to book the selected date, the prepayment is 100 chf or euro (at the exchange rate in the day of payment) via PayPal or IBAN.
The remaining amount is paid at the end of the photo shoot in cash or by transfer.
- How to choose places for a photo shoot?
It depends on your preferences.
If you like mountain valleys, fields, waterfalls and typical architecture of Swiss villages, then I can offer Lauterbrunnen, Wengen.
Lakes and mountains — Iseltwald, Brienz, lakes Blausee and lake Oeschinensee.
Mountain landscapes with snowy peaks at any time of the year — First Grindelwald, Mannlichen, Kleine Scheidegg, Schynige Platte, Murren, Rosenlaui.
Snowy landscapes (snow lies everywhere even in summer) — Jungfrau (Top of Europe).
If you prefer beautiful Swiss cities, then I advise you to visit Lucerne, Geneva, Zurich, Montreux.

- Which clothes are better suited for a photo shoot?
You can choose several outfits (can put them in a bag / backpack / suitcase) for a photo shoot. The main thing is that the clothes are combined in style and color scheme.
For summer and spring photo shoots, it is better to choose light (pastel) colors and white outfits, as they look in contrast with the natural landscape of Switzerland. It is better to avoid bright and large prints in clothes. For men I advise to avoid shorts: light trousers look much better on the photos.
For autumn photo sessions, it is better to choose outfits in autumn colors: brown, yellow, dark blue, green, etc.
I also advise to take sunglasses and comfortable shoes with you, since during the photo shoot we move between locations.
Before the photo session, you can send me a photo of the clothes you have chosen if you are in doubt about the choice. So I can understand your style and, if necessary, I can advise.
- What additional things can we take with us for a photo shoot?
If you want, you can take with you a bouquet of flowers, a picnic basket with fruits and a blanket, a bottle of champagne and glasses.
- Where in summer can I find places with green fields and snow-capped mountains on the background?
The flowering time of plants in the fields is from mid-April to mid-June. But it depends on the weather.
Snowy peaks with the background of green fields can most often be seen in Mannlichen, Lauterbrunnen, Murren, First Grindelwald, Kleine Scheidegg, Schynige Platte, Rosenlaui, Adelboden.
- It will be our first professional photo shoot. Do you advise on posing?
During the photo shooting I help and advise on posing (if necessary). On the day of the photo shoot, the main thing for you is to relax, be natural and enjoy the process of photographing :)
- Do you take photos only in the Interlaken area?
I make photo shoots in all places of Switzerland and another countries.
- How long does photo processing take? How do you give the edited photos?
You get the first 10-20 ready-made photos within 1-2 days after the photoshoot. I send all the finished photos within 2-3 weeks after the photoshoot. Editing time may vary depending on the workload of the month and the number of hours of the photo session.
I give the photos in full quality as a link to a private electronic gallery.
- What should do if rain is planned on the day of the photo shoot?
Usually 1-2 days before the photo shoot it’s already known whether it will rain. And in case of bad weather, can reschedule the photo shoot for another day (if there are available dates) or return the prepayment.
