WHAT TOURIST ATTRACTIONS ARE TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED?

It all depends on your region, but in general, we can segment into several important and recurring points, such as:

  • Festivals
  • Gastronomy
  • Architecture
  • Thematic or temporary activities
  • Students
  • Business

Depending on what is relevant to your destination, we will plan the shots. It may, for example, be useful to come for a week or even two to take pictures of what is important to you and which you can use for the rest of the year. With good planning, we will be able to optimize our time on site so that you benefit from a maximum of photos. 

GASTRONOMY PHOTOGRAPHs

 

Your visitors come to see you for your gastronomy, whether in restaurants, food trucks or during festivals. You must therefore have beautiful photos to share in order to promote them throughout the year. We will be able to tour the places and thus photograph those that you have identified as essential.

PHOTOGRAPHS OF FESTIVALS

 

Festivals are part of the tourist attraction of a region. This is why it is important to be able to promote it throughout the year. The photographs that we will take of festivals in your region will be your essential tools for the coming years.

 

As the examples below show, our versatility allows us to take all your photos. Whether outdoors or indoors, a conference by a Chef like Magnus Nilsson or a photo exhibition at Place des Arts for the FIKAS Festival.

 

The last three photos were taken during a festival known now on the international scene: MURAL. It is a festival where art, in all its forms and supports, is the master for a week in Montreal.
