Highlights
  • Restauradores Square - We meet in the late afternoon, roughly 30 minutes before sunset, in time to take advantage of the sunset and blue hour light from one of the beautiful viewpoints in the city or elsewhere. The goal will be to shoot stunning images of the Lisbon skyline with lights on and some deep blue sky. After this initial round of scenic images, we will be heading towards the old neighborhoods of the city. Alleys, small squares, and pulsing local life will be our subjects. Much of the time, we will be walking through alleys and staircases where we can work with calm and do amazing images while keeping a good chat about photography and the city. Don’t forget the trams, such a popular subject that we will be shooting in a few different places depending on the day’s route. If you have any questions about the day’s itinerary or any other issue, please get in touch with us.

Unique experience for photographers in Lisbon - It's a blessing to go with a seasoned photographer like Miguel to hidden spots you never would have thought off. You find yourself suddenly discovering sites to take pictures off, and you get professional tips and feed back by Miguel. He is very knowledgeable and in a short time I did benefit so much. Best to do it early in your stay so you have time to put the skills and ideas learned into practice

Miguel was very... - Miguel was very knowledgeable and helpful in providing a great nighttime experience in Lisbon. He not only took us to great photo spots but he also gave us some historical/local information.

Thanks to this tour, I'm better able to shoot in low light - The three-hour night photography walking tour I took with Miguel and another photographer helped improve my photography. We meandered through various neighborhoods in and around Lisbon’s central district and up and down its hilly terrain. We snapped photos of everything from wonderful cityscapes below, to people dining on the streets and squares, to dark alleys with graffiti murals. I got to see pockets of the city I don’t think I would have on my own. If I had a question, Miguel had an answer. He helped me learn how to better navigate and use my new Sony a74. Even though I’m an experienced photographer, my weakness has always been shooting in low light. Miguel suggested I switch from shooting strictly in manual mode to shutter priority. At one point, we stood for a time taking photos of street trolleys passing by so I could work on improving my ability to capture motion blur. During the rest of my trip through Portugal, I shot in shutter priority and my night photos looked much improved. If I can take just one helpful tip away from tours like this, it’s worth it to me. Thanks to Miguel, I’m more equipped to take better low-light shots.

What a fun night! - It was just me and my guide Miguel. I learned so much and we walked around and took photos until quite late. We switched back and forth from night photography to black and white night photos where I think I took some pretty good shots and had a great time.

Very Good and Unique experience - This tour was geared toward the serious photographer, but Miguel had a little something for everyone. I carried semi-serious (MILS) gear and a trip. My buddy had only his iPhone. There were just the two of us, and Miguel spent equal time with each of us. Because this was a "night" tour (from the just after sundown "blue hour" into the night), it was probably unique from other day tours. We did shoot from one of the many "miradouros" in the city early on, with the city, mouth of the river, and ocean in view. But after that most of it was wandering around parts of the city's local streets and finding shots to be made of "street scenes." We both learned some new techniques, as well as seeing some very cool things. Especially for the very modest cost involved, I felt like it was a great experience, and would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in travel photography. Miguel was knowledgeable, gracious, and shared some of the interesting history of Portugal along the way.

Loved it! - Amazing. Where to start? First I was the only person on the tour that night and Miguel did not cancel it. He had great tips and information on composition, using lighting at night, and about some of the my caerma settings. I was fianlly shooting out of auto mode. Miguel was very friendly and personable. Most importantly, as a solo female traveler, I was very comfortable and did not feel unsafe. I would highly recommend the tour.

Night in Lisbon - I highly recommend this night photography walking, whether you are a novice or expert. Everything is so different depending on the light. Miguel knows photography and he knows how to teach. He was so patient with us. We went to places that I wouldn’t have found on my own. Private tour is the way to go.
