Best Photography Spots for a Beijing Photoshoot

Beijing, the bustling capital of China, is a city of striking contrasts and rich cultural depth, offering an abundance of photography opportunities. The city seamlessly blends its historic past with its rapidly evolving modern present. Iconic landmarks like the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Temple of Heaven are perfect subjects for architectural and historical photography. Beijing's bustling street scenes, traditional hutongs, and vibrant markets create dynamic settings for street and documentary photography. The city's modern skyscrapers, like the CCTV Headquarters, offer a juxtaposition of architectural styles for cityscape and contemporary photography. Whether you're interested in capturing China's imperial history, its vibrant street life, or its impressive urban growth, Beijing provides a visually diverse and culturally rich environment for photographers to explore and celebrate the heart of China.

Dan was our photographer for our Beijing trip. We enjoyed the process from start to finish.

He made us so comfortable and we have beautiful photos to look back from our trip. He’s kind and patient! Would definitely recommend Dan 😊-ChelleView Photographer profile
Song was incredible to work with. He made it easy to communicate and establish a plan for my proposal shoot despite my being outside China and having only English language skills. He is a consummate professional and went to scout the location I asked about, then sent sample photos from his scouting and even created a map to help guide my proposal when the time came. He was a tremendous help, and I could not recommend him enough.-Jacob A.View Photographer profile

Only one day in Malta? No problem! 

This tiny but mighty island packs a lot into its small size — think stunning coastlines, ancient cities, and water so blue it doesn’t look real. ⁣
⁣
Here’s how to make every moment count ⤵️⁣
⁣
🌤️ Morning:⁣
Start your day in Valletta, Malta’s charming capital. Wander through its golden-hued streets, step inside St. John’s Co-Cathedral, and soak up the harbor views from Upper Barrakka Gardens — they’re unreal!⁣
⁣
🍽 Midday:⁣
Next stop — Mdina, the “Silent City.” Lose yourself in medieval alleyways, admire the historic walls, and treat yourself to a scenic lunch at a local café. (Bonus points for finding a rooftop spot!)⁣
⁣
💦 Afternoon:⁣
Head toward the coast for the legendary Blue Grotto. Hop on a boat tour and explore the glowing turquoise sea caves — it’s pure magic.⁣
⁣
🌅 Evening:⁣
End your whirlwind day in Marsaxlokk, a postcard-perfect fishing village. Feast on fresh seafood as the sun dips behind the colorful boats dancing in the harbor.⁣
⁣
Malta may be small, but its beauty is endless — one day here, and you’ll already be planning your return. ⁣
