003 Questions
Is Malta a good place for a fashion shoot?
Yes. Malta has mild winters, strong light, baroque limestone towns, English-looking gardens and villas, and a clear-water coast, all reachable in a single day. English is an official language, and flights from London, Milan and Paris take 2 to 3 hours.
Who can produce a photo shoot in Malta?
Shoot in Malta is a location agency and production service for fashion and photo shoots, with bases in Malta and London. It is part of ANCC Studio, a London creative studio whose clients include Berluti, Stella McCartney, JW Anderson and Zara.
How long do shoot permits take in Malta?
Allow one to two weeks for most public locations. We make the applications on your behalf.
When is the best time to shoot in Malta?
March to May and October to November bring warm weather and softer light. December to February is mild, at around 15 to 17°C with about 10 hours of daylight, which suits spring collections shot in winter.
Can Malta look like England?
In close and medium framing, yes. The formal gardens at San Anton, Buskett woodland, the period rooms at Villa Bologna and the former British barracks at Mtarfa can suggest England, and we test the look on a recce.
Do we need to bring our own kit?
Standard camera, lighting and grip kit can be hired in Malta. Lighting is expensive to hire locally, so many teams bring their main photographic kit and hire generators, stands and batteries on the island. We can price both options.
How are Malta shoots billed?
One estimate and one invoice, in euros, issued by ANCC Studio Ltd in London.
