About this experience
This walking photo tour was designed by a professional photographer that has a deep knowledge about Lisbon. It also happens that Miguel was born in Lisbon and lives in Lisbon.
You can expect a rewarding experience. We will explore Lisbon as old time friends, looking for good and sometimes unexpected moments. We will chat about the local culture, about the local history and about photography. We can discuss f-stops, between a view description or looking at a map. We may actually improve your image composition as well.
This photo tour has the huge advantage of being private.
This also allows Miguel to follow your preferred subjects or to optimise the use of your photo equipment.
Actually, this photo tour should be for everybody, because everybody has a camera! Think about it.
It doesn't matter if you have a DSLR or a mobile phone, because the fun will be the same.
