Hiring a vacation photographer is increasingly popular amongst international travellers. The fact that everyone has a camera these days can be a mixed blessing as it brings with it an expectation that you will take a load of photographs of your travels. Trouble is, if you are doing the photographing it's difficult to be in the picture yourself. Yes, there is the selfie-stick but they have practical limitations. Great for an arms-length shot of one or two people in front of whatever corner of the famous building you can manage to get into shot behind you but not so hot for anything else.

Which is where a vacation photographer comes in. Usually a local photographer with expert knowledge of their home city they can arrange to take a series of images of you - candid or more posed, even a little silly, as you prefer. If you are travelling alone you can put your camera away for a while and simply enjoy the sights. If you visiting as a couple you can both fully share the moment, without one of you being distracted by trying to get the perfect photo. And if the family is here together you can all be in the pictures instead of the person with the camera missing out.

I can offer a variety of Vacation Photography options, from a quick group portrait shot of the family in a single location to a series of candid shots on a full tour of the city. Having lived in Edinburgh for over thirty years I know a lot about my city and the best places to go to get some great photographs. Prior to your visit we can discuss your exact requirements and come up with a package to suit you. Maybe it would be a good thing to arrange for the start of your visit to give you some pointers for things to do with the rest of your time in the city?
