I would highly recommend Miguel to both beginner photographers and to more advanced. I am a more advanced photographer and really enjoyed that there was still a learning opportunity (Miguel has a very graphic style which is not my norm, so it was quite interesting.) Also, we spent the entire time outside and in masks, and I felt very safe, even during these stranger times. Miguel knows Lisbon well, and not only chats with many of the locals while walking, but can tell stories and the history of the city. I would highly recommend him!

Joined a select group as part of a cruise excursion arranged by P&O. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, personable and enthusiastic and the experience was relaxed, informative, enjoyable and excellent value. We had all range of experience and equipment in our group, from compact point and shoot to full frame DSLRs with multiple lenses, but we all had a great time. I'd thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to get good photos of Lisbon.

We often try to find a local professional photographer to guide us for a few days when we visit a city or area that's new to us to hopefully find those views that might be a bit different than your typical tourist tour would show. Miguel of Lisbon Photo is one of the best we've encountered at helping us become better acquainted with Lisbon (and Porto) and providing us with various unique perspectives to try to capture in digital images. His coaching on what made for a good photo verses "crap" (yes, we told him it's fine by us to tell us what "crap" we've created; we have too much experience doing that!) was especially helpful and his honesty and professional evaluation appreciated. Overall, we believe we came home with better images due to our time with Miguel than we would have on our own.

We really thank you, Miguel, for your expertise and time putting up with a couple of old amateur photographers from the USA!

BTW, it's OK to occasionally use the bus, outside escalator, or taxi to go UP some of those hills in Lisbon or Porto! 😉

Thank you Larry for your kind review. Looking back, I have a long list of good memories with you, in Lisbon, in Sintra and in Porto. You are a very kind couple and I feel lucky to have met you. Thank you again and wish you all the best!

We had a fun half day photo walk with Miguel in early January. He showed us his favourite parts of Alfama, which we wouldn't have found by ourselves, explained the history of the town and set us photographic challenges. He is very knowledgeable, generous in sharing his skills and set a good pace. It's a great way of getting to know Lisbon in a relaxed way and improving your photographic skills. Highly recommended!

I had a brilliant one-to-one photography tour around the old city of Lisbon. I learnt a lot, walked a lot, saw the old city through the eyes of an experienced Lisbon photographer, discovered how to see compositions differently, had fun with black and white including piano steps!, caught silhouettes in the sunset and went home fulfilled. Thank you Lisbon Photography (Miguel), it was a lot of fun.

I’d booked Miguel to take me round and show me the parts of Lisbon that are off the tourist trail. We spent a very enjoyable afternoon wandering around the little streets and alleys in the old town, finding little details and street scenes to photograph. Many of these I would have walked passed but Miguel pointed them out - he certainly opened my eyes to what was there to be photographed - inspirational. Definitely recommended.

Thank you Justin, it was a lovely afternoon for me as well. We managed to explore and enjoy a quiet old town - photos came out great. Best regards from Lisbon!

I had a great private tour with Miguel to Sintra and surrounding sites. The weather was incredible for photography - we dealt with a lot of fog in the mountains and some rain, which really made for some beautiful pictures. Miguel offered door to door pick up and drop off, suggested a great place for an authentic lunch, and offered both guidance when exploring each site and ample time to explore on my own. Miguel's knowledge and passion for the area was apparent, and he offered a very creative perspective when looking at things. It was a great mix and balance for the day and I highly recommend booking a tour with Miguel!

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! Yes, it was such a moody day that I will remember our Sintra adventure for ever. Thanks again and hope to reconnect with you in the future.

I cannot recommend the private all day Sintra tour enough. Miguel's capactiy to make the day informative, inspiring, and fun was exemplary. As a novice photographer, my knowledge and skills have increased dramatically, especially in terms of composition. And I appreciated learning about the area's history and culture, which I had not anticipated to be as extensive as it was. I was only sorry that I did not have more tme to book another tour. An experience not to be missed!

Hi Marianne, thank you so much! It was really a great day in Sintra, exploring, shooting, having fun. Lunch was also great, chicken or "frango". So until we meet again, I wish you all the best!

My time in Porto with Miguel was excellent, far exceeding my expectations, and totally enjoyable. We did the two day workshop spending an afternoon, evening, and morning half day shooting everything from vistas, people, street scenes, and travel images in both color and black and white. Miguel is an excellent teacher as well. I felt like I received a master class in composition, light and shadow as well as other varied techniques. Miguel generously shared his expertise, offering many helpful insights along the way. I highly recommend Lisbon Photo and its various workshop and photo tour offerings!

An excellent way to spend an evening in Lisbon! Miguel is knowledgeable, passionate about photography and a great teacher. He knows the interesting spots to capture some great shots of Lisbon at night. This is my second session - we did a photo tour of Sintra last year - I highly recommend Lisbon Photo!
