Join photographer Luigi Cantel for a private Budapest photo walk starting at Fővám tér. You’ll practice smartphone composition at Liberty Bridge, the Central Market Hall, Kálvin Square, the metro, and Bikás Park, with drone photos, local photo spots, and free Lightroom editing tips included.

“Luigi was an absolute delight to work with. I booked him for a castle photoshoot the previous , and he arrived with this calm, friendly energy that instantly made the whole experience feel easy. He clicked some truly amazing pictures at some great spots. He also shared little tricks and angles in this session for posing and using light, the kind of tips you end up carrying into every future photo. I had such a great time shooting with him, and the final results were beautiful. Highly recommended if you want photos that feel effortless and a photographer who makes the whole process enjoyable. ✨”

“Excellent tour! I now act like my dog with head down all the way time. Mostly because Simon taught me the beauty of photos through reflections in water. But best of all is he showed me additional features on my iPhone settings I didn’t know I had or had to use.”
