Visuals of Kyle

Visuals of Kyle is the business of a Maltese photographer, Kyle, who works across weddings, portraits, events and commercial assignments. It is based in Żejtun, a town in the south-east of Malta, and Kyle has more than ten years of hands-on experience behind the camera. The approach is relaxed and candid: no stiff posing, and a lot of attention to light, props and the surroundings.

On VisitMalta.co.uk the business is listed in our directory of photography studios in Malta.

How it started

Kyle's first digital point-and-shoot arrived around the age of twelve, and photography began as a hobby that moved through nature, landscapes and sunsets before settling on portraits. At about sixteen came a first DSLR and a love of experimenting with props. Roughly ten years ago he founded Visuals of Kyle and decided to work at it full time. The motto is less talking, more shooting. Along the way Kyle kept learning and growing as an artist, and the creative perspectives that first drew him to portraits are still at the heart of every session. That history matters to clients because it means the camera work is led by a single person who has spent years refining one style, rather than by a changing roster of photographers.

What sets the work apart

Six qualities define the work. The first is experience, built over a decade. The second is responsiveness: queries are answered promptly so that nothing is left hanging before a shoot. Third comes authenticity. Kyle favours natural photographs over posed ones, so shy clients and fans of candid pictures are welcome, and people usually look best simply being themselves.

The fourth quality is a creative approach. Given the freedom, Kyle uses props and the surroundings to look for artistic perspectives, which is why the portfolio includes sunsets, churches, gardens and the sea. The fifth is time efficiency: you hired him to create your photographs, so the session is kept moving, with a few laughs along the way. The sixth is diversity. Beauty is not tied to any physique or appearance, and everyone should leave seeing their own best side.

Types of shoot

The portfolio is grouped into weddings and engagements, sacred moments (baptism, holy communion and confirmation), maternity, family, graduation, studio, commercial, fashion, and food and drink. Kyle also works as an event photographer. Couples planning a wedding in Malta can add an engagement shoot to their plans, which is a good way to get used to the camera before the big day. Sacred moments cover baptism, holy communion and confirmation, the family occasions that mark many Maltese calendars. Maternity and family sessions can be arranged in a studio or outdoors, and the commercial work includes fashion and food and drink.

Malta offers a wide choice of settings. Many couples choose the capital, covered in our Valletta guide, or the walled city in our Mdina guide. Others prefer the coast: see our Gozo guide, Golden Bay guide and Blue Grotto guide. For viewpoints, the Upper Barrakka Gardens overlook the Grand Harbour, and the Three Cities guide covers a historic setting close to Żejtun.

Planning your shoot

Because the best light is often early or late in the day, build some flexibility into your schedule. Check the Malta weather guide when choosing a season, and read about the best beaches in Malta if you want sand and sea in the pictures. Our things to do in Malta page is useful for planning the rest of the trip. If you are travelling from the UK, agree the date, the location and the type of coverage in advance, and tell Kyle about any particular shots you have in mind, so that the time on the day is spent enjoying yourselves.
