Life is Like a Camera; Just Focus on What's Important

This week's feature explains why scheduling a photo shoot while on vacation is an excellent idea! This shot was taken by a "street fashion" photographer in Paris - we ducked into a cafe to warm up (it was 20 degrees and sleeting outside) - and my photographer captured this moment - one of my favorite photos ever!

Exciting news - my colleague, Celeste Auger-Munshi and I have been selected to host an Azamara Cruise from Venice to Athens in September, 2020. Along the way we will visit Sibenik, Croatia; Kotor, Montenegro; Corfu, Katakolon, Santorini and Mykonos, Greece, before finishing in Athens. My consortia, Virtuoso, in conjunction with several luxury cruise lines, offers Virtuoso Voyages - cruises which are hosted by a professional travel advisor. Passengers booking with a Virtuoso Advisor on a Virtuoso Voyage receive a complimentary special amenity - possibilities include an exclusive shore excursion, or services of a driver/guide, or a generous onboard credit. Celeste and I would love for you to join us on this cruise - space is very limited (great itinerary!) - so if you are interested please contact me as soon as possible to secure your cabin.

Why Book a Professional Photographer on Your Next Vacation?
Want a fun, unique activity for that upcoming vacation? If you're like me, and your selfie game is weak, you've too often relied on the kindness of strangers to snap a photo of you in front of [fill in the blank] - and maybe the resulting photo is not quite what you'd hoped for. The solution: Schedule a photo shoot in your destination with a professional photographer! Here are several reasons to book a photographer on your next trip:
  • Your travel advisor has resources to companies providing this service - scheduling a photo shoot is very similar to scheduling an excursion or shore trip
  • The cost is reasonable - comparable to what you would likely pay for an excursion. Of course, costs vary depending on the amount of time and the number of photos taken - but if you've paid a sitting fee at a professional photography studio, or booked an excursion for 2 or more people, you're definitely in the same price range
  • Your photographer knows the destination! I like to schedule a photo shoot near the beginning of a visit; chances are that you will experience some of the highlights of your destination during your shoot. And your photographer will know the best times of day and locations for shooting interesting photos that showcase your time in the destination
  • It's fun! Imagine feeling like a celebrity for a day with a photographer posing you and snapping away!
  • Your photo album will become a very special memory of your trip - the ultimate souvenir! The final product that you receive will already have been edited and ready to share, or perhaps serve as the image for your holiday card. Like the title of this piece, life IS like a camera - focus on what's important!
