Private Photography of Flying Dress Africa: A Unique London Experience
Imagine stepping in front of London’s most famous landmarks like Big Ben and the London Eye, dressed in a flowing, custom-designed flying dress while a professional photographer captures your best angles. For about $688, you get roughly an hour of personalized photo opportunities, with the added bonus of receiving high-quality, professional pictures of your time in the city. This experience is offered as a private photoshoot, meaning you won’t be sharing the spotlight with strangers — just you, your companions, and the expert behind the camera.
Two things that really stand out for us are the customization of the flying dress—which allows for a uniquely personal touch—and the expert guidance on posing. The photographer’s knowledge of central London’s most scenic spots ensures you’ll get stunning backgrounds, whether it’s the historic Westminster Bridge or the sweeping views along the Thames. A possible consideration is that this experience relies heavily on good weather, as outdoor photoshoots can be spoiled by rain or heavy clouds.
This tour suits those seeking memorable, high-quality photos of their London visit, especially if you enjoy a bit of glamour or want to feel like a movie star once in a while. It’s perfect for travelers who don’t want the hassle of selfie sticks or asking strangers for photos and prefer a professional touch. If you’re up for a fun, stylish, and memorable experience with a focus on stunning views and personalized service, this one might be just right.

What is the Flying Dress Experience?
This isn’t just a standard photo session; it’s an artistic, stylish experience. You arrive at Westminster Bridge, where the shoot begins with some shots of Big Ben from different angles.

This detail adds a fun, fashion-forward element to the experience, making the photographs not just memorable but also visually striking.
