Built for Lisbon-region small businesses who need real photos, not stock

Three things most commercial photo sessions get wrong
Before booking a photographer, here is what to watch for. We have rebuilt brand image libraries for plenty of clients who paid twice because the first session did not deliver what their business actually needed.
The most common commercial photography mistake: showing up without a plan and shooting "nice" photos that look interchangeable with everyone else's. We agree a mood board with you before the shoot, sketch the key shots in advance, and tie every frame to where it will be used (homepage hero, product page, Instagram carousel, About page, ad creative). The result feels intentional, not stock.
Many photographers deliver 20 beautiful images, but you need 30 to 40 to feed a website, social, and ads for months. We deliver a deliberate mix of formats per session: vertical for Instagram and TikTok, square for Facebook, horizontal for hero banners and YouTube thumbnails, plus close-ups and detail shots for product pages. One session feeds every channel for a quarter.
Some photographers take more than 2 weeks to send finals, and call a basic Lightroom preset "retouching". We deliver retouched, color-corrected, web-ready images in 5 business days, with proper skin smoothing on portraits, dust-spot removal on products, sky and ambient lighting adjustments where needed. No surprise add-on fees for standard post-production.
From booking to retouched gallery in less than 1 week
A predictable process, with the planning done well before the shoot day so you only need to be camera-ready.
Day 1
30-minute call to define the goal, locations, and shot list. We share a mood board with reference images and lighting notes for your approval, plus a shoot-day requirements checklist tailored to your photo type (outfits, props, food, products, etc.).
Day 2-3
We confirm location, light, schedule, and any external coordination (stylist, HMU artist, location permits, food prep timing). You review and sign off on the prep checklist.
Day 4
Half-day or full-day shoot at your location in the Lisbon region. 4 to 8 hours depending on scope. The photographer directs the team, manages lighting, and shoots through the planned shot list plus opportunistic frames.
Day 5-7
Selection of the best frames, colour correction, retouching, and format optimisation (vertical, square, horizontal, close-up). You receive the full gallery on day 13, 5 business days after the shoot.
What a planned photo session actually delivers
What you walk away with from a single session, vs. typical commercial photographer delivery for SMBs.
Retouched, colour-corrected, web-ready, in multiple formats per shot.
From shoot day to gallery, vs. the typical 2 to 4 weeks of independent photographers.
Vertical, square, horizontal, plus close-ups, so one session feeds every channel.
You own commercial rights for all delivered images, no per-use licensing fees.
What people ask before signing up.
Six categories in the standard service: portrait and personal branding, food, product, events, real estate and interiors, and fashion or editorial. Multiple categories can be combined in one session if the scope justifies it (for example: restaurant interior + food + team portraits in a single half-day).
Usually under half-day (4 hours), scehduled with you during the briefing. A portrait or product session is typically 2 hours; restaurants, real estate properties, or multi-category shoots usually go half-day.
Between 30 and 40 retouched, color-corrected, high-resolution images, delivered in multiple formats (vertical, square, horizontal, close-ups) so the same photos work across your website, Instagram, Facebook, and ads.
Usually in 3 business days from the shoot day. You receive a private gallery with download links.
Yes. You own full commercial rights to all delivered images. No per-use licensing fees, no expiry. You can use them on your website, social channels, paid ads, print, packaging, third-party platforms, anywhere your business needs them.
Yes, but this services is priced for the Lisbon region: Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra, Mafra, Loures, and surrounding. Travel within this region is included. For locations outside the region, we can quote travel separately.
For outdoor shoots, we agree a backup date during the briefing and reschedule if forecasts are poor. For indoor shoots (restaurants, real estate interiors, product on white) weather has no impact and the shoot proceeds as planned.
Not in the standard scope. We can recommend trusted professionals in the Lisbon region (HMU artists, food stylists, prop stylists) and coordinate them on shoot day. Their fees are quoted separately, billed directly to you.
Absolutely, encouraged. Your own outfits, products, props, and team usually produce more authentic shots than rented or sourced alternatives. We provide a prep checklist by photo type (outfits, food plating, product cleaning, location staging) so everything is shoot-ready.
Yes. Most people freeze in front of a camera. Our photographers direct posing, expression, and grouping for portraits and team shots. For product and food, we arrange composition and lighting. You stay involved at the level you want, hands-on or just the final approval.
RAW files are not in the standard scope (they are working files, not finished deliverables, and require professional software to open). If your team has an in-house retoucher who specifically needs RAW, we can include them as a paid add-on.
