Request availability and a quoteHvar has its own photographic problem set. The interior of the island looks one way, the southern coast looks another, and the night side of Hvar town is a different shoot from the day side. Lavender season runs short. Light on stone goes hard fast. Documented projects on Hvar have included a multi-day cultural festival in a partially-abandoned stone village, an orchestra concert with drone coverage of the event scale, and DJ + dinner formats at fortified hilltop locations. The work treats the island as the subject, not as a backdrop.
How I Approach It
Hvar shoots get pre-planned at week granularity. Lavender bloom timing, sirocco wind windows, ferry constraints, and night-aerial drone rules all change the plan. I arrive early, scout the actual stage and surrounding alleys, and design coverage that works for both the live event and downstream campaign use. Drone work is permitted-and-planned, not opportunistic.
What You Get
- — Pre-shoot scouting on the actual island, not over Google Earth
- — Drone aerial coverage where permits and lines of sight are pre-cleared
- — Coverage of both event live moments and downstream campaign frames

- — Bilingual EN/HR captions when the project crosses both markets

Common Questions
Do you travel to Hvar for one-day shoots?
It is possible but rarely worth it. Hvar travel — ferry windows, on-island logistics, the actual scout — costs the same whether one day or three. Most Hvar engagements run two to three days minimum.
When is the lavender bloom on Hvar?
Typically mid-June to early July, with variation by altitude and weather. If lavender is part of the brief, we book inside that window and have a backup plan if the bloom shifts.
Can you drone-shoot Hvar town?
Hvar town has restrictions over the old core but the fortress, the channel, and surrounding bays open up for permitted aerial work. We pre-clear permits before any flight is planned.
Do you only cover Hvar town, or also Stari Grad, Jelsa, and the interior?
All of it. Stari Grad, Jelsa, Velo Grablje, the interior villages, and the south coast are all part of the Hvar service area.
