If you are looking for a photographer in Venice you will find many options. Being able to define, among all of them, the one that meets most of your expectations may not be an easy task, but we can help you with some tips. Following these criteria will help, not only to define the best photographer for your trip to Venice, but for most tourist cities and even for other services like weddings or events in general.
Style
Most likely style and price will be the first criteria to take into account. As much as for many people it makes no difference, there are many styles when it comes to travel and event photographers. Basically we can define between classic and modern, mainly in relation to poses and use of light.
Of course anyone, be it classic or modern, can make good photos. But don't expect a classic studio photographer to deliver you a service that puts you at ease and walks through the small streets of Venice naturally, taking advantage of any natural light situation. He will probably prefer the same sights for every shoot, will always do the same poses and will work without much flexibility of time, routes and number of shots. Possibly he will use flash for all the photos. Not that this is bad, but making flash photos look natural is a skill that few professionals have.
Modern photographers tend to work in a lighter, more dynamic way. And even for a classic destination like Venice, shooting with a modern style will give a beautiful, elegant result, going through a more flexible route, with the possibility of shots in alternative locations, making your shoot really unique.
Price
Along with style, price is decisive when hiring a service. Fortunately there are also options for most budgets. I would say that a 1h photo session in Venice should cost between 150 and 250 euros for a package with about 30 photos. Some photographers offer shorter shootings of 15 or 30min for lower values.
There are other factors that help to define your photographer in Venice, such as the language and the professional's knowledge of the sights and best times to shoot in the city. Some local photographers have difficulty with the English language or don't even offer communication in languages other than Italian. If the photographer knows most of the sights of Venice and the best times for shooting, he or she will be able to offer the best options for a particular time of year.
