Frequently asked questions.

1. About Praiana Productions

  • We’re a UK-founded production team based in Bahia, Brazil, specialising in swimwear and lifestyle content creation. We combine international creative direction with authentic Brazilian backdrops to produce high-quality visuals for bikini brands and global fashion labels.

  • All shoots take place in Bahia, Brazil — home to golden beaches, jungles, rivers, waterfalls, and tropical villas.

    Each location offers a unique aesthetic to match your brand’s personality.

  • Swimwear and bikini brands are our specialty, but we also collaborate with resort wear, accessories, and lifestyle brands seeking tropical visuals.

  • Our process is simple and collaborative:

    1. Share your vision – We’ll ask a few questions about your brand, number of pieces, number of models, and the style you’re aiming for.

    2. Review your base package – You’ll receive a tailored proposal including all deliverables and pricing, plus optional extras.

    3. Send your swimwear – Ship your products to us in Bahia, Brazil.

    4. Select your models – We’ll send you a curated shortlist of professional models that suit your brand’s image.

    5. Shoot & edit – Our team handles every detail of production and delivers beautifully edited, ready-to-use content.

2. Booking & planning

  • We recommend securing your shoot at least 4–6 weeks in advance to ensure availability for your preferred dates, models, and locations.

  • Yes. Once your collection is on the way, we’ll present a model selection document with profiles and photos to match your brand’s aesthetic. You’ll be able to review and confirm your final choice before production.

  • Our base packages include professional photography and videography, edited reels, and a set number of images.

    Generally base packages include:

    • 40 photos

    • 5 reels

    • 3 horizontal site videos

    You can enhance your package with extras such as drone footage, boats, horses, surfboards, hammocks, fruit stalls, or luxury properties with pools and we’re always open to request!

  • No, not necessarily. While clients who are in Bahia are welcome to join us, most of our international clients send their collections and let us handle everything. We manage the production from start to finish and keep you updated throughout the process.

3. Shipping & logistics

  • Shipping times vary depending on the country. On average, tracked international parcels from the UK, Europe, or the US take 10–20 days to arrive in Bahia. We recommend using a reliable courier service with full tracking and express shipping to ensure smooth delivery.

  • Yes. Once your shoot is confirmed, we’ll send you our studio address, local contact information, and customs instructions to make the process smooth. Clients are responsible for shipping fees, any customs charges and lost items.

  • We can return products if pre-paid return shipping is arranged by you.

    Otherwise, we gift the pieces to models or locals.

4. Production day

  • Absolutely. You can choose from our curated Bahia locations — beaches, villas, waterfalls, jungle paths, or beach bars — or share your own concept. We’ll source the perfect setting and extras to match your brand’s desired aesthetic.

  • We can shoot your whole collection. Number of models usually depends on the number of pieces in your collection.

    We will discuss your needs and ensure your content is captured efficiently and beautifully.

  • Yes. We can capture BTS footage or photos as an optional extra. These are perfect for Instagram Stories, Reels, and marketing teasers that highlight your brand’s authenticity.

  • We always plan with flexibility in mind. If the weather isn’t suitable for shooting we’ll reschedule for a better day. The weather in Bahia is good all year round.

5. eDITING & DELIVERY

  • Our editing includes professional skin retouching, light and colour correction, and cinematic video editing with dynamic cuts optimized for social media.

    We request references and a mood-board beforehand so that every deliverable is refined to match the vision with your brand’s tone and aesthetic.

  • Our focus is on delivering fully edited content that aligns with our signature style. However, raw footage can be provided upon request for an additional fee.

  • Your final content is delivered digitally via a secure Google Drive or Dropbox link. Files are easy to download and optimised for both social media and website use.

  • Once your shoot is complete, you’ll receive your edited photos and videos within 2–3 weeks, depending on the project scope.

  • Yes. We include two rounds of light adjustments (such as colour or tone refinements, or video style) to ensure everything aligns perfectly with your expectations.

6. PRICING & EDITING

  • We require a 50% deposit upon booking (or once your swimwear arrives in Brazil), with the remaining 50% due upon final content delivery.

  • All prices are quoted in GBP (£), as our business is registered in the UK.
