Yulia & Family
Photography Tour in Copacabana at Sunrise
We absolutely loved the experience! Everything was great: the communication before the photo shooting, experience itself and Itamar’s personality. I would like to highlight the Itamar’s flexibility- we changed the time twice, as we were with kinds and Itamar was very kind and let us start the experience later. We had a beautiful morning photoshoot in Copacabana and it made our day! Thanks a lot ❤️
Sarah
Photography Tour of the Old Tourist Spots in Rio
We had a wonderful time with Itamar! He is so passionate about his work that we knew he would do an amazing job capturing us. We loved how he captures a story rather than just talking photos. It was our first photoshoot in general so we did not know what to expect but Itamar made the process so fun and easy. We also had a chance to see a part of Rio that we would not have thought to go on our own. Would love to book him again if we ever get the chance to visit again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between: Shared, Private and Premium?
The shared package is for those who want to live the experience in a group, with other people, on a fixed itinerary and at a more affordable price.
In private, the itinerary is the same, but you have the experience just for you and your group, being able to adjust the order of the locations or exchange one location for another nearby.
PREMIUM offers the greatest flexibility: I will come to you anywhere on the river or you can create an exclusive and completely personalized itinerary through the routes offered by the city, in addition to being the only package that gives you all the photos of the experience.
How long is the photography experience?
The duration is up to 1 hour, in all chosen packages. This is enough to capture many incredible moments without rushing, with complete calm and quality. You can always buy more hours if you need.
Can I choose the places where we will take photos?
Yes! On Airbnb, you can choose up to 9 unique route options. In Shared Experiences, the route is fixed.
