- djtroycarterMontreal, Canada3 contributionsBest Retro Photoshoot in Bulgaria!It was my first time visiting Bulgaria, and I was looking for a unique souvenir I could bring home. I then stumbled upon Old Plovdiv Retro Photo, which turned out to be the perfect fit! Lyuben was very friendly with me when I entered the shop and very enthusiastic about his craft. At first, I was worried they would not have clothes that would fit me for the shoot as I'm 6'8" (204cm) but alas, my height was no match for the selection of outfits they carry! It was my first time doing this type of photoshoot on the fly and Lyuben made this experience very pleasant. He was very creative and fast at composing different looks with no rehearsal, as well as very professional throughout the shoot. The final results were amazing and delivered to me very promptly. If you are looking to create great memories to last a lifetime in Plovdiv, Bulgaria that you can proudly share with friends and family, I highly recommend stopping into Old Plovdiv Retro Photo!Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for stopping by and for having a wonderful time together. We are happy that you appreciated the unique experience and our unique Bulgarian souvenir.

- CamdenicksCamden, United Kingdom50 contributionsA fun experience and a lasting mementoWe were a group of 10 or so friends who passed by the studio and decided to give it a go. The owner told us upfront it’d take about 45 minutes - and then took care to dress each of us in traditional costume. He then did a great job advising on how to pose with various props, and then efficiently helped us choose our favourite images that he then edited and printed. We were beyond delighted both with the experience - which included a lot of laughter all round - and photo prints that are both high quality and silly enough to bring a smile to our faces. Highly recommended!Thank you for sharing this unique experience together. We are happy that you took this beautiful memory with you.

- Linda C1 contributionLots of fun with formal and candid photos !It was a very hot day and I was in two minds to do it but it was quick, efficient and there are fans to keep you cool. I liked how the owner chose a couple of options of costumes that would suit us best and we made a choice from those offered. It was lots of fun but also meaningful as it was an Australian (me) connecting with Bulgarian family members I never met in person. We were thrilled with the result.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 2, 2024
- Cecilia D4 contributionsOne of the most beautiful memories of BulgariaA friend and I went curious about the place and it was a wonderful experience.

- bravesfan39Richmond, Virginia52 contributionsJust a wonderful experience, with amazing and colorful photos!This is a fun and memorable activity in the heart of Old Plovdiv. Lyuben and Viktoria are gracious, professional, and kind, and the photos are fantastic. They have good instincts about what will work for a family or a couple, and they are friendly throughout the process. The price is reasonable, especially for the quality of the photos. Go to the Ethnographic Museum and then come and see them!Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 26, 2024

If you ever go to Plovdiv you should get some pictures done. The photo shooting was fun and I am very happy with the result. You can also get a print with a nice frame of your favorite picture. I'm really glad I visited the studio.

My fiance and I had a great time. We spent maybe 20-30 minutes getting dressed, taking pictures, and reviewing them. Many of them turned out so well, (of course not all, because I'm a girl and we are very picky :D). You have to get at least 1 print, but it's all worth it. You get the rest in an e-mail that comes very quickly (we got ours a few hours later). Definitely recommend for tourists and for locals!

Very friendly photographer. She has good collection of traditional clothes and accessories. She made us all including our 2 year old feel very comfortable. Hence the pictures came out very good. I would highly recommend this studio.

It was a wonderful experience for my family. Although we are Bulgarians, for the first time we had the opportunity to dress all four in national costumes. My doughters was impressed. Thank you "Old Plovdiv Retro Photo" for our beautiful memories. I recommended because the photosesion is only 20 min and the children don't get nervous. The result is great and the photograher has experience and good approach.

We went in not being sure whether it was a good idea and I never do anything so touristy during my travel, but boy was I wrong. It was such a blast having taken photos at this joint. Our photographer let us choose everything from attires, accessories, props, and poses.
We were so happy with the result also, the quality of the print is excellent. Do not miss the opportunity of creating such a fun memory of your visit to plovdiv

A fantastic experience even for someone who doesn't like to stand in front of a camera like me (this was actually the very first time I felt comfortable in front of a lens, to be honest). :) My wife and I and our little princess had an enjoyable time and the results were even better than expected. Couldn't recommend it more and we're definitely planning to have another photoshoot in near future. Thank you!

It wirked out ten Australian dollars each person. But you can change outfits and accessories. And they email you all photos. So much fun. Cheaper than the couple of drinks we could have had at that time
