Sanlorenzo SL118: Capturing the Flagship’s Architectural Purity
Overview
As specialized Sanlorenzo yacht photographers, we documented the SL118, a vessel that represents the perfect evolution of the shipyard’s planing line. Our mission was to capture the sheer scale of this 36-meter superyacht, with a specific focus on its signature “fold-out” terraces that bring the salon into direct contact with the ocean. This visual portfolio provides brokers and owners with elite tools to market the SL118’s sophisticated design and superior volumes.
The “Team of Two” Advantage: Scale and Precision
Managing a 36-meter superyacht shoot requires a strategic workflow. Our two-person professional team ensures:
Simultaneous Capture: One specialist captures the majestic exterior and the terrace deployments via 4K drone cinematography, while the other masters the complex interior lighting of the five-cabin layout.
Minimal Disruption: We coordinate with the Captain and Chief Stew to shoot guest-ready areas efficiently, respecting the yacht’s operational flow.
