Photography Tours

Two Barrios with Three Points of View!

My clients are AMAZING! I may have mentioned this before. I have decided to feature 2 tours in 2 different barrios with 3 different clients. First, let me introduce husband and wife team, Daniel and Suzanne from my beautiful CANADA! We set off into the sneaky side streets of San Telmo and into La Boca. I loved how they worked as a team to get their shots. If one of the two was concentrating on a scene the other would find something else to turn their camera towards. "No point in getting the same shot, when we can get something totally different!". Indeed. They make beautiful books of their epic travels when they return to Ottawa to remember and share their adventures. Loved their use of colour and composition in their work. Team work at its finest!

Next, to the off-the-beaten-path Palermo tour with Eunice. I like her style. She likes to shoot anything and everything that is different from her home town in New Zealand. She is an inspiration to travelers everywhere, going it alone on BIG adventures at 70ish year young! During our tour, we walked in (literally) on a video shoot with model and model dog (image 2) and were invited inside a strangers home to admire it's beauty (image 3). You gotta love street photography in Buenos Aires! All the wonderfully random things can happen if you put out the good vibes! Love your photos and your spirit, Eunice!

BOOK NOW your customized tour of Buenos Aires with me as your guide! Who knows what we will see and shoot and the fun we will have!

Moses the Photographer

Moses toured with me and my visiting pal, Liane. He brought along is friend, Carmel (who inadvertently became our model for a few shots). We sipped wine, chatted about photography and strolled through the streets of Boedo. I knew, before looking at Moses' work, that he was going to create some wonderful images. He is a patient, curious and has the ability to find something where there is (presumably) nothing. All the markings of a great street photographer. Just when I am reminded that I have the best job in the world, along comes Moses and makes it even better!

La Época

I found this place quite by accident when my client, Phillip and I were touring one of my favourite barrios, Caballito. We felt like we stepped back in time in this museum/barber shop/cafe. It's off the charts amazing!

Check out our keen model, Jules (sadly no one was getting a close razor shave that day) and our talented barber, Ignacio. This place has been around since the beginning of time. Every instrument used is legit. The little cafe is old school. Ignacio told me they are the proud owners of the oldest barber chair in Buenos Aires. Damn.

All around, a super cool experience. The cerveza is freezing cold on a hot day, the staff welcoming and kind. Be aware that you will be charged a fiver to take photos.

Oh! To up the ante on the coolness factor, the shop becomes a tango show from 4:30-6:30 Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Couldn't think of a better backdrop for a few tango photos!

2 Days With Edward

Over the course of 2 lovely days, Edward and I toured, clicked, talked and laughed. We captured a slice of BA life in Palermo Viejo. We chatted with locals. We strolled quietly though the Chacarita cemetery. We took portraits of ourselves and each other. We went to markets. We put some mileage on our sneakers and our memory cards. We picked though musty 45s to decorate my bare wall and photographed the process. We drank coffee and wine and mused about photography and life. We edited. And edited. And edited some more.

Together, we took a bazillion images. Somehow, we edited it down to 21 of Edward's best for this post.

I thank my lucky starts to have such cool and talented clients! Don't you agree?

Grant and Celine Test Drive 'Photo Me'

,

It's been a busy summer/winter so far! I have been traveling a lot, searching for new locations for Day Clicker, visiting friends, eating drinking and of course, shooting. I have also revamped my website and added a new service called 'Photo Me'. With this tour, I've created something a little different. Instead of us shooting together, you put your camera away, and I will take photos of you. It's not all about couples either, friends, family members, business groups, anyone who would love to have fun and relaxed portraits of themselves on holiday or to celebrate an occasion or special event, is welcome. Children are free and groups are welcome at a discounted price.

Celine and Grant were the first to book the tour. They wanted to document their holiday before they returned to summer in New York. We strolled through Palermo Viejo to finish at Olsen Restaurant in Soho. I used my new Fuji XT1 for the majority of the shots. A new favourite addition to my gear.  It was a crisp not so winters day with perfect light for shooting this adorable couple.

Want to hear what Celine and Grant had to say about their afternoon? Check out their Trip Advisor Review. Super sweet!

Have questions about my gear or any of my shooting techniques, feel free to drop me a line. I'm always happy to share.

If you would like to book a 'Photo Me' session, the sessions start at 30 minutes and last up to 2 hours. Follow the Book Now link and fill out the quick and easy registration. Looking forward to shooting with you!
