Solo traveller photoshoot in Lisbon
Beautiful photos from your solo trip to Lisbon
Travelling solo often means coming home with plenty of photos of beautiful places, but hardly any good photos of yourself. Selfies and tripod shots can only do so much, especially in a city as scenic as Lisbon.
A solo traveller photoshoot gives you relaxed, natural portraits from your time in Portugal without the awkwardness of asking strangers or trying to pose alone. I’ll guide you throughout the session, help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and choose beautiful backdrops that fit your style.
After booking, you can share your preferred location, such as Alfama, Belém, Baixa/Chiado, or Bairro Alto/Bica. If you’re not sure where to go, I’m happy to recommend the best option based on your timing, outfit, and the types of photos you’d love.

"My experience with Marga was a highlight of my time in Lisbon. She’s incredibly kind, knowledgeable and so fun to be around. It was wonderful to be shown around the city and also get some amazing photos as a memory of the trip. I think a session with Marga is the perfect way to see the city and create some really meaningful memories. I couldn’t recommend her more. ❤️"

"I can’t say enough how great this experience was, and I’ve done these types of photo shoots in many different countries. Marga is the absolute best. She does doggy photoshoots too so I brought my dog with me, who I told her beforehand tends to always look quite grumpy. Not with Marga! She caught some of the sweetest smiles, and greatest photos of the two of us and Rainbow alone. In fact, she took was gas now taken the spot as my all-time favorite photo of Rainbow (my dog) and I am going to print it! But it’s much more than that. It’s her personality and spirit and storytelling talent that brings Lisbon to life. It felt like a walking tour at the same time- I learned so much!! Marga never rushed and just wanted us to get great photos! I know there are a lot of photographers to choose from, but you won’t regret going with Marga. It was a 10/10 experience. Book it! It’s worth it!"

"I spent a morning with Marga in Lisbon during my very first solo trip, and it couldn’t have been more special. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable (about Portugal and so many other places!), she’s also a phenomenal photographer. I felt completely at ease the entire time—just enjoying a lovely walk and posing naturally. The photos turned out absolutely stunning; they’re my favourite pictures of myself ever! If you have the chance to book a session with Marga, don’t hesitate—just do it, you truly deserve it.
PS: Beyond her talent, Marga is one of the kindest, sweetest, and most caring people I’ve met. Her flexibility and attention to detail were so thoughtful—she even went out of her way to check train station locker prices for me well before my trip. I feel so blessed to have met her."

Frequently asked questions
Which session is best for me?
The 30-minute mini is great if you want a short and easy shoot during a busy trip. The 60-minute session gives us more time to walk, settle in, and create a wider variety of photos. The 90-minute session is best if you want a fuller Lisbon story, outfit flexibility, or photos in different nearby spots.
Do I need to know how to pose?
Not at all. Most people are not used to being photographed, especially on their own. I’ll guide you naturally throughout the session, so you won’t have to wonder what to do with your hands or where to look.
Can I change outfits during the shoot?
For 60-minute and 90-minute sessions, a simple outfit change may be possible if there’s a practical place nearby. For the 30-minute mini, I recommend sticking to one outfit so we can make the most of the time.
What happens if it rains?
If the weather looks bad, we’ll try to reschedule whenever possible. If the weather is very bad, and we can’t find a suitable alternative during your stay, I may offer a refund instead.
How long does it take to receive our photos?
Most galleries are delivered within 2 days, although during busy periods delivery may take up to 7 days.
Is this only for influencers or content creators?
No. Solo traveller photoshoots are for anyone who wants beautiful photos from their time in Lisbon. Travellers who simply want personal travel memories that feel natural and relaxed.
If you need a full brand photography session with multiple outfits, content planning, indoor locations, workspace images, or rented spaces, please get in touch first so we can plan something more tailored.
Do you photograph outside Lisbon?
Yes. I mainly offer solo traveller photoshoots in central Lisbon, but I’m open to nearby locations such as Sintra, Cascais, Cabo da Roca, or other scenic spots depending on the date, travel time, and logistics.
For sessions outside central Lisbon, please send a custom enquiry first so I can check what’s possible and create the right option for you.
