A PLACE THAT FEELS LIKE YOU
Drawn to open landscapes, gardens or water? Look for photographs with room to move and a softer background. Consider how comfortable you are walking in your chosen outfits.
Columns, steps and strong lines can bring structure to a portrait. Compare the scale of the setting with the mood you want: intimate details or a dramatic wide frame.
Streets and skylines can make the city part of your story. Plan a simple route rather than too many stops, leaving time for walking portraits and spontaneous moments.
These photographs are inspiration, not a guarantee of current access. Photography permissions, opening hours, reservations and any fees must be confirmed for your date. Light, weather and crowds can change the look of a location.
THE MOMENT BEFORE YES
The right place is more than a beautiful backdrop. Share your idea with us so we can discuss the approach, a discreet meeting point and time for portraits afterward.
