The Locations and Customization
One of the biggest perks here is the ability to choose your favorite location or request a different spot. Popular sites include the lively Piotrkowska Street, known for its lively atmosphere and interesting architecture, or the historic Manufaktura, a sprawling complex with a mix of shops, cafes, and cultural spaces. Ksiy Myn is another recommended spot, offering a different vibe altogether. This flexibility means you can tailor the experience to suit your style — whether you’re after vibrant city scenes, intimate cobbled alleys, or iconic landmarks.
The Photographer and Style
Your guide for this journey is Engin Erdem Görmezöz, a friendly and professional photographer who speaks multiple languages—English, Turkish, Azerbaijani, and Polish. We liked the emphasis on natural light and authentic emotion, which means your photos won’t feel overly staged. Instead, they’ll reflect the real atmosphere of ód, capturing genuine smiles, candid moments, and the city’s unique personality.
The Session Atmosphere
The session lasts about 11.5 hours, which is quite lengthy compared to typical photoshoots. However, the description mentions a “relaxed, creative approach,” suggesting you won’t be rushed or pressured. Expect to stroll around your chosen locations at your own pace, with plenty of opportunities to pause, chat, and get comfortable in front of the camera. We think this long duration is perfect for those who want comprehensive coverage or multiple looks — though some might find it a bit much if they’re after a quick shoot.

The photos will be delivered digitally within a week, giving you time to select your favorites and share them with friends or family.

Printed photos are available for an extra fee, which could be a nice option if you want physical keepsakes.
