Add-ons and prices

Ongoing partnership 2025–2026

I photograph “Vytautas Mineral SPA” in Birštonas on an ongoing basis. The photos show massage and facial treatments, therapists at work, the pool and relaxation areas, hotel rooms, the restaurant and aerial shots. The whole venue is told in one visual style.

I don't show photos of these venues here yet – I'll send samples on request.

Country guesthouses and glamping

Guests of a country guesthouse or glamping site should understand from the photos where they will wake up: the house and grounds, the bedroom, the sauna or hot tub, the evening light. In one visit of up to 4 hours I shoot a set for your website, Booking and Airbnb.

Best-fit package: Country guesthouse

Apartments

In short-term rental apartments guests decide within seconds. I photograph rooms in good daylight, along with the kitchen, the bathroom and the details that make a guest choose you. The guesthouse package suits one or two apartments; a full-day package suits an apartment complex.

Clinics

In a clinic the photos have to build trust: a bright waiting room, treatment rooms, portraits of doctors and the team, a moment from a consultation. I photograph patients only with their written consent, and I prepare the release forms myself.

FAQ

When will I get the photos?

5–10 first photos within 48 h, the full gallery within 5 working days.

Is travel included?

In Kaunas and Vilnius, yes. Elsewhere in Lithuania I charge travel costs per kilometre.

Who takes care of the releases?

I do. I prepare release forms for staff, guests and models.

Do you photograph treatments?

Yes, with the patient's or model's written consent. Often a consultation and the doctor's attention to the patient are enough.

My staff hate being photographed.

That's normal. I direct them so they look like working people, not models.

I'm Artiom Istuganov, a photographer and video maker based in Kaunas and Vilnius. Food photography taught me a director's discipline: every light, detail and person in the frame is there on purpose.
