Shooting with Raha was an absolute dream. The locations both the breathtaking rooftop overlooking Istanbul and the warm lantern room were incredible, but Raha’s guidance and eye for detail made all the difference. He made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and the flying dress photos turned out like something right out of a cinematic fairytale. Truly a 10/10 experience!

Amazing experience and very patient ! Pictures were amazing and a great quality of pictures
Raha he's an amazing photographer. The experience was wonderful. The moment I walked in, the coffee, the dress, the photo shoot. It was beautiful. I encourage anyone to do this. It makes you feel very special. Thank you.
Raha & his support team were great to work with. I booked the shoot the day before I wanted to do it on a whim, and Raha was immediately very clear and communicative on WhatsApp. The shoot itself was fun & the group gave great posing tips! Thanks Raha!
We had such a wonderful and memorable experience with our photographer Raha. So much fun to dress up and have our pictures taken in the incredible flying dresses. Notes: it was a windy day for us - I don’t recommend, extra costs were identified the morning of the photoshoot ( $50 euro to rent the dress + $30 euro entrance fee) and there was only 1 staff member to help with 7 of us trying to pick out dresses and get changed. There is only 1 of each style/colour of dress. A lot of others lost their patience. I would still recommend this as it’s such a fun experience.
I’m so happy with the photos\! The photographer was amazing from start to finish\. They were very kind, professional and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole photoshoot\. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and I’m really happy with the results\. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented and professional photographer\! 🤍
We had a wonderful photoshoot experience with Raha. It was the best memory of our lives

We had such an amazing experience with our photography session! From beginning to end, everything was professional, comfortable, and effortless. A very special thank you to our photographer, Raha, who was absolutely incredible. He has an exceptional eye for detail and knew exactly how to guide us while still capturing the most natural and genuine moments. Raha made us feel completely at ease, and his talent, patience, and creativity truly showed in every shot. The photos turned out even better than we could have imagined—elegant, natural, and absolutely beautiful. He didn’t just take pictures; he captured memories that we’ll treasure forever. I highly recommend Raha to anyone looking for a talented and professional photographer who genuinely cares about his work. We couldn’t be happier with the entire experience and the beautiful memories he created for us! ❤️📸
Raha was my photographer and did a wonderful job. And the location is amazing for the photos! Book this one! So many dress options too
Raha was great! Excellent direction on shooting and very accommodating!
Amazing rooftop photoshoot in Istanbul! Raha Mofidi was very professional, friendly, and made the whole experience enjoyable. The photos turned out beautiful, and the rooftop views were incredible. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Really nice and can take pictures and video as much as you want
Flexible photographer, easy to work with, was very kind in working with me to set the right time and lighting for sunset. I like that he gave me posts to do since I wouldn’t know what to do with my body. The place is very nice, it has a nice view and good options of dresses and jewelry
Excellent experience. Good quality for the price. Excellent customer service!!!
Raha was amazing, so accommodating and professional despite the rainy weather he timed the session perfectly.I’ll definitely book with him again when I’m next in Istanbul.
I had such a wonderful experience! The photographer was very kind, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire photoshoot.

The photoshooting with Raha was amazing. He is professional, paciente and communicative. We really loved the experience.
Amazing Job! I love the results so much that I have a hard time picking a favorite! Raha’s team were professional, patient and had an eye for details.
My wife and I had such a wonderful experience with Raha and his team on the rooftop photoshoot in Istanbul. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul and looking for a unique photography experience!
We had an amazing experience! Such beautiful photos! We booked Raha through Viator.
5 stars! I really loved the photoshoot. Everything was perfect
I loved the photos and the videos! it looks so good!
Wow was great. I do not believe that I have photos. What view The whole Istanbul was behind my head. Even in the worst weather conditions he helped me a lot. I suggest Raha to those who love someone's experience.
This was my second time shooting with you—my first time solo, and this time with my friend on an Istanbul rooftop. Your artistic vision, friendly personality, and calm energy made the whole experience feel natural and joyful. Thank you for creating photos we truly love
We had an amazing rooftop photoshoot experience! The photographer was super professional and made us feel comfortable the whole time. The views were stunning and the photos turned out romantic and natural. Highly recommended for couples visiting Istanbul!
I enjoyed my experience with my flying dress photo shoot. The aspects of the experience that I enjoyed was the cleanliness, professionalism, constant communication, directions to venue. The only thing I would have liked to have seen is a larger selection of SLEEVELESS flying dresses, however they have at least 100 of other dresses to chose from that are not flying dresses.
Wonderful experience. Felt like a Star. Photo shoot was amazing at rooftop. I booked on Viator and the organizers were very friendly and professional. Loved the experience.
This was an amazing and beautiful photography experience. My daughter did a photoshoot on a rooftop in Istanbul. Our professional photographer, Raha Mofidi, took beautiful photos! He took the time and patience to capture unique shots that truly reflected my daughter's personality. It was a fun and memorable photo session that we will cherish forever.
My daughter did a photoshoot on a rooftop in Istanbul. Our professional photographer Taha Mofidi took beautiful photos. He took the time and patience to capture unique shots that reflect my daughter's personality. We greatly recommend Raha Mofidi for your next photography session.
very good photographer, kind and very professional and all praise for him, he knows what he is doing and I recommend him to everyone
Wonderful location, everyone was super accommodating and Raha found the best places for a great picture for the whole family.
The experience was unique! My wife and 2 small kids had a great time together with Raha. The shooting was in a wonderful location with perfect views of Istanbul, allowing us to take amazing memories of our trip. He and the staff at the location was extremely accommodating. 5 stars!
Raha was very nice and easy going. He was communicative throughout the process and flexible the day of the shoot. I requested to move our shoot date since the weather called for rain. He had no hesitation doing so the day of the shoot, he suggested many poses, like a true professional, which helped the day go seamlessly. If you’re considering booking, just do it! You’ll be glad that you did.
I highly recommend Raha! I had rooftop photoshoot with him and it turned into such a beautiful memory from my trip. I’m usually a bit shy in front of the camera, but she made me feel so comfortable and confident right away. The whole session felt natural, relaxed, and full of good energy
Raha was truly amazing, he took his time and made our experience memorable. We are happy we found him on Viator, the whole experience was amazing!
DO NOT RECOMMEND!! I booked Raha months before our trip. We spoke about the process, saw his work, I asked about times told it would be evening for best. The day before our arrival I messaged to get location details, he said he would send it later that evening. He sent the message after our "cancellation" time frame. The location was not what I thought, my mistake however he then says I have to pay to enter and then for the dress which was an additional 80euro, fees kept going up. NONE of those fees are on my tripadvisor reservation. After hours of messages with Raha, when I arrive 1hr before our shoot he proceeds to tell me he got covid was in the hospital the day before and someone else would take the pictures. Completely unprofessional to not be forthcoming about everything and conveniently after the "cancellation" period had passed. We had our photos taken, barely had options for dressed because they were all dirty from early appointments which we wanted a morning shoot but were told no, 6pm by Raha. Our photos came out fine but did not have "flying dress" just moving dress pics. Staff at location was accommodating considering the switch bait Raha did to us. Have yet to see if he will edit the 60 pictures we're supposed to have nor were we offered anything for our terrible experience. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!
We booked a photoshoot in Istanbul with Raha as a surprise anniversary gift, and it was an unforgettable experience. Raha’s photography style is elegant and natural — he guided us with gentle posing tips so we never felt awkward, yet the photos still look spontaneous and authentic. His approach is very professional but also warm and relaxed, which made the whole session so enjoyable. The locations were absolutely magical: a rooftop overlooking the city with breathtaking views of Istanbul’s skyline, and a beautifully decorated room filled with traditional Istanbul lamps that created a romantic, almost cinematic atmosphere. Raha knew exactly how to use the light, angles, and surroundings to bring out the best in every shot. The final photos are stunning — a perfect blend of artistic style and emotional storytelling. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to capture such a special occasion. If you’re in Istanbul and want memorable photos, I can’t recommend Raha highly enough.
Excellent experience 100 percent recommended, I loved all the attention, the treatment and the gesture of taking photos with us
Raha and his team were a friendly pleasure to work with during our couples photo shoot, located at Taht Istanbul photography studio. My fiancé and I were both a little nervous about the shoot since neither of us know how to pose, but that was no issue as Raja provided helpful and sometimes hands-on instructions to keep our experience smooth. Thankfully, the team was prepared with baby wipes for bird droppings during the rooftop shooting. My fiancé and I were able to relax and have fun during our one hour shoot and we’d be happy to repeat the experience.
We had such a great experience working with Raha. He was warm, professional, and just an overall amazing guy to be around. He made us feel super comfortable and captured some truly beautiful shots for our anniversary—pictures we’ll treasure forever. Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. If you’re looking for someone who knows how to make the moment feel special and deliver stunning results, Raha’s your guy.
Turning 40 felt like a fairytale, and Raha Mofidi beautifully captured every magical moment of it. From the stunning rooftop views over the Bosphorus to the vibrant glow of Turkish lanterns, she brought my vision to life with creativity, elegance, and warmth. 💖📸 Raha has an incredible eye for detail and a calming presence that made me feel truly seen, confident, and radiant in every shot. His photos are not just images—they’re timeless treasures I’ll always look back on with joy. If you’re visiting Istanbul and want memories that speak beauty, culture, and emotion—Raha is the one. I wholeheartedly recommend him. 40 has never looked or felt this good. 🌸🇹🇷👑 #RahaMofidiPhotography #IstanbulPhotoshoot #TravelMemories #BirthdayPhotoshoot #CapturedMagic #TurkishDelight #FortyAndFabulous
Loved shooting with Raha on a most amazing rooftop in Istanbul — such a chill vibe and great energy. The photos came out amazing! Hope we get to shoot again soon.
Thank you for taking photos in the best location. I was nervous about going alone, but the photographer Raha and the staff were very kind and made me feel at ease. He found the best angle for me while posing and gave me precise instructions, which made for a great photoshoot. If you want to take photos in the beautiful scenery of Istanbul, I highly recommend him!
I had a great experience working with this photographer! I was shooting solo and a bit nervous at first, but he was so friendly and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the session. He was also very flexible with timing, which I really appreciated. Super professional, easy to work with, and the photos turned out amazing. Highly recommended!
Best experience ever in Istanbul! Raha is adorable and very professional. Arrived on time, gave us lots of options for photos, huge selection of dresses. Highly 💯 recommended!
The photoshoot was a great experience for me. I was a bit afraid at the beginning, but it went all away really fast. Everyone was friendly and nice. I got a lot of help with the dress, the poses, where to look and what to do. And I have to mention the location. It is wonderful, at the top of Istanbul. If you think about the photoshoot, book it, you won’t regret :)
Our expirience was unique and unforgettable. The photographer was extremely friendly and extremely professional...Million thanks Raha 💓
