Introduction
Imagine strolling through Barcelona’s vibrant streets, knowing that a professional photographer will be quietly capturing your best angles without the usual awkwardness of a selfie. That’s the promise of this Private and Personalized Photography Adventure, offered by FOTI for around $79 per group—up to 8 people—and lasting about 45 minutes. This isn’t just a quick snapshot session; it’s a tailored experience designed to help you shine in stunning locations like the Sagrada Família, Gothic Quarter, Barceloneta Beach, Arc de Triomf, and Ciutadella Park. Whether you’re a couple, family, or group of friends, this private session aims to produce high-quality, edited photos that perfectly capture your Barcelona memories.
What I really appreciate about this tour is the level of personalized attention. Borja, the photographer, has more than ten years of experience and makes a point of guiding you on natural poses and flattering clothing choices. Guests consistently praise how comfortable and fun Borja makes the experience—something that shows in the stunning photos they walk away with. One reviewer even called it “the best photography service in Barcelona,” noting how their pictures came out so well they couldn’t choose just 15 to share.
One possible consideration is that the session lasts about 30 minutes to an hour, which is enough for most spots but might feel a little brief if you’re hoping for an extensive photo tour. Plus, the price is quite reasonable for a private, professional experience, but if you’d like more than 15 edited photos, you’ll need to purchase extras. Still, considering the quality and speed of delivery—within 24 hours—many find this an excellent value.
