WHY MONDO PIECE
What we care about
No compositing, one real shot
We never shoot the sky and the person separately and layer them together. You get a photo taken in a single shutter press, on that night, in that place.
Private for one group only
You will never be mixed with other guests. The location and the time are used only for you.
Star stories to take home
Between shots, we point out constellations with a laser pointer. So every time you look back at your photos, you will remember the names of the stars too.
We can shoot after the moon sets
We are open from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Even on nights when the moon is up, we choose the dark hours after it sets to take your photos. Late-night and early-morning sessions are possible too.
