Good afternoon from Siberia, could you please tell me, is it possible to take photos somewhere in national dresses without booking a tour?
Yes, you can rent a dress and take photos.
Of course, at Registan Square there are SOOOO many offers, so many photographers, you don’t even need to look, they’ll come up to you themselves. But there’s also a special little booth at the entrance. It will say: photos in national costumes, in dresses with trains! There are so many of us flirty girls in those dresses — half of Registan is like that! When it comes to dresses and photos, there’s definitely no shortage.
About how much is it to rent a dress without a photographer?
I don’t know, I had everything included.
And how much was “everything included,” please tell us?
How beautiful. Please write the price for everything. Or is the price different every year?
Look, the prices vary a lot, and there are tons of services offered, you just choose what suits you best. There are a huge number of different photographers: some shoot with professional cameras and bring several assistants, some include makeup and hairstyling, some take photos on a phone, some do retouching. It all depends on the photographer’s level, how promoted they are, and how many final shots they promise to deliver. So the range is unbelievable.
But actually, the dresses and their quality are about the same everywhere, they all come from the same shop. I just took photos on a phone without any editing, without makeup, the girl didn’t charge much. Right next to me there were girls being photographed with huge cameras, assistants were carrying their dresses, and they had massive spotlights and softboxes carried behind them. So there are just tons of offers! You just come and choose what you like.
But if you’re shooting at Registan, keep in mind that you need to pay for a shooting permit and for your entrance ticket to the square.

I was photographed by a girl named Niso, it was just photos on an iPhone, she immediately sent me all the originals. No retouching, editing, or makeup included. She brought the dress and jewelry, and she immediately knew how and where to stand красиво, took the photos right away and instantly sent me all the originals on Telegram. There were also amazing videos, she filmed me in slow motion and so on. But everyone does that. I mean, all the photographers offer basically the same thing! Me and my Niso were standing in line for the same location to run beautifully, just like ten other girls in the same dresses with their photographers. So everyone has the same tricks, the same dresses, the same locations. I paid 82 dollars for an individual photo session and outfit. Also keep in mind the ticket and the shooting permit — 200,000 soum ($15). For certain reasons I didn’t pay that, but as far as I know, you’re supposed to. The promoters at Registan charge less. But there were such guys there, very pushy, and the dresses looked a bit worn out — I’m terribly afraid of that, so I chose Niso, she was very non-intrusive and a girl. So I decided to overpay for emotional comfort. Check Tripster, but what I found there — photographers were asking 20,000 rubles (250$) just for photos. That’s awful.
In case you need it, Niso’s number is +998 91 552 55 22
So girls, I overpaid — $82 dollars is expensive. There are cheaper options. That’s kind of the maximum within reasonable limits.
I messaged that Niso, and now she’s charging 100 dollars )) Well, I guess you have to bargain, and it’s better to do it on the spot.
So. For those who were interested in a photoshoot, here’s my report.
The weather didn’t cooperate, but despite the rain they photographed me everywhere anyway ))) + they also made a video. The photos were sent to me right away. Some I really liked, some were rubbish. But they sent everything they had, which is a plus.
In short, it’s a fun attraction )) and a nice memory. The whole thing took about an hour. The choice of dresses is large.
Whole thing costed me 800,000 sum which is roughly $65. The initial agreement was that I would get 30 photos + 1 video but in the end I got all the photos and 2 videos.
The photos are wonderful 😍😍 The dress really suits you ❣️❣️ The price seems like pennies to me after I paid €300 in Santorini for photos with a flying dress 🤣🤣costed me 800,000 sum which is roughly $65
We have found a photoshoot session in national dresses for $45
Good morning everyone ☀️ from sunny Samarkand
We’ve just come back from a photoshoot at the Registan. It’s simply an indescribable delight! And these dresses 🥹👗 — silk, unbelievably beautiful, clean and neat, with rich colors, and a huge selection of accessories.
I came across the photographer случайно on Instagram and messaged him about a week ago. The photoshoot is $100 (the outfit is included in the price). After we arrived, I wrote to him again. Today we went for the shoot at 7 in the morning. I had chosen 3 outfits I liked via Instagram — I loved how they matched the architecture overall. Yesterday I sent him exactly what I wanted. When I arrived, there were many dresses in the room, and the one I wanted had already been prepared for me 😍
Everything took about an hour. That’s more than enough. My husband was also taking photos on his phone.
In total, we got more than 100 photos.
❗️He sent the photos to my phone immediately 🙀 — no need to wait for anything. He also makes a video clip, said he’ll send it by evening on Telegram or WhatsApp.
I’m very satisfied! The guy has a great eye for composition, very modern, precise — how to stand, where to look, how to place your hand.
The camera 📷 is apparently some kind of professional one. The photos turned out amazing, AND WITHOUT ANY WAITING!!! I’ll attach a couple 😊 if anyone needs the contact.
