Rio de Janeiro Photographer for Solo Travelers and Vacation Photoshoots
Relaxed portrait sessions at Rio's best-known places, with an English-speaking local photographer. You show up, I guide every pose and you take home photos that look like the city feels.
You show up. I handle the rest.
I have been photographing Rio for more than ten years, so I know which place has the best light at each hour and how to avoid the crowds. I work with solo travelers, couples and small groups who want timeless, editorial-style portraits from their trip, not filler shots.
No modeling experience is needed. I tell you where to stand, how to move and when to look, and the session stays light and relaxed. More about me.

Frequently asked questions
How do I book a photoshoot in Rio?
Send me a message on WhatsApp with your dates, the area where you are staying and the pack you like. I reply with availability and how to confirm your date.
How long until I get my photos?
The gallery is delivered within 7 days. If you are leaving Rio soon, there is an express add-on that delivers in 24 hours.
What should I wear for my photoshoot?
Pick outfits you feel good in and that move well. Solid colors and strong colors usually look great against Rio's greens and blues, and a flowing dress or a bold swimsuit works well on the beach. Bring one extra outfit if you have time for a change. I send tips for your chosen location when we confirm the session.
What is the best time of day for a photoshoot in Rio?
Early morning and the hour before sunset give the softest light and fewer people. I suggest the time and the place together, based on your date and the weather forecast.
Do I need modeling experience?
No. I guide you pose by pose, so you can relax and enjoy the city.
