Lake Salda photoshoot
Lake Salda is a crater lake formed millions of years ago after a large asteroid impact. The white mineral shore and turquoise water look very much like the Maldives.
It is a striking location with bright, saturated colour. The drive from Antalya is about 2 hours, so we set aside the full day for the shoot.

about the location
What you need to know about Lake Salda
-
Turkey’s Maldives
White shore, turquoise water and mountains around it — the picture is clean and very bright. For the richest colour, it is better to shoot in sunlight, closer to midday — it can be hot work, but the result is worth it.
-
The road and full day
The drive from Antalya is about 2 hours each way, so we plan the whole day in advance. The date and timing are agreed by booking.
-
Who it suits
The location works well for individual and feminine portraits, couples and Love Story, maternity and bright content — the white shore carries the frame on its own.
-
Sun and what to bring
Bring comfortable shoes and a hat — the shore is open and sunny. I will advise on outfits that contrast with the white and turquoise during preparation.
