Portrait photography — Girona

Portrait photography in Girona — The experience

Here the city does half the work. Girona is a medieval Catalan city of golden stone, mirroring rivers and ramparts, perfect for shoots with a historic, romantic feel.

A personal session is about you: your character, your style and the way you move in front of the camera. The medieval stone reflects a warm, enveloping light, especially at dawn and dusk, while the narrow lanes offer soft shade at midday.

Best locations for portrait photography in Girona

For portrait photography in Girona we choose the spots that best fit the session's style:

Pont de les Peixateries Velles (Eiffel Bridge). Frame through the red iron latticework of this Eiffel-designed bridge to set the riverside houses as a backdrop.

Coloured Houses of the Onyar River. Shoot from the Pont de Sant Agustí in mid-morning, when the ochre and red facades mirror crisply in the Onyar's water.

Steps of Girona Cathedral. Place the subject midway up the grand baroque staircase at sunset, when the stone takes on a warm golden tone.

The Call, Jewish Quarter. Seek out the narrow lanes and stone staircases at midday, when the overhead light slips between the walls and creates dramatic shafts.

Styling and wardrobe for your session

We recommend neutral colors and natural textures, with two or three changes to add variety without losing coherence.

Spring and autumn are ideal for their golden light and mild weather; summer is hot, but the old-town lanes stay cool.

Logistics, timing and pricing

The old town is compact and pedestrian, so almost everything is covered on foot, though the stairs and cobblestones call for comfortable shoes.

Personal sessions start from €150, with edited photos delivered in 5-10 days.
