Best Photography Spots for a Manila Photoshoot

Manila, the bustling capital city of the Philippines, is a photographer's paradise waiting to be captured through the lens. With a rich tapestry of history and modernity, Manila offers a striking contrast of old and new. Explore the historic walled city of Intramuros, where cobblestone streets and Spanish colonial architecture transport you back in time. Capture the vibrant chaos of street life in districts like Quiapo and Binondo, where colorful markets and lively street vendors create a visual feast. For a taste of modern Manila, head to the towering skyscrapers of Makati and Bonifacio Global City, capturing the city's contemporary energy. The stunning sunset over Manila Bay provides the perfect backdrop for silhouette shots and reflections on the water. Manila's diverse culture, street art, and lively neighborhoods make it a photography destination with endless possibilities for creative expression.

Our friends & family traveled to the Bahamas for our wedding. We had a wedding photographer at our resort, but we decided we would like our friends and family to have a separate photo shoot at different locations around the island, so we contacted Local Lens. Best decision ever!

Our photographer was awesome. It was very easy to plan and everything went according to what we asked. The photographer made great suggestions.-Michelle
This shoot was booked as a gift to my friend to have her dream visit to the city and get lovely photos of her in various locations. She thought it was the best gift and loved being the star of the photos. The photos themselves turned out stunning!-Graham
We got engaged! Mike was amazing! Very kind and took amazing photos.-Taylor
We flew out for a surprise proposal. Nothing in particular for Barcelona, was attracted to the idea of a beach photoshoot. Jordi was superb! He arranged what we needed and made it all so simple.-Pav
We booked a shoot because we had a family beach trip!-Kalena
We were on vacation for our daughter’s 1st birthday and our experience was wonderful. Daythan was the absolute best. He was so great with our daughter!

Would book him again in a heartbeat. Great photos and great experience.-Rachel
We had an Anniversary in Cancun, Mexico We wanted to capture the beautiful memories we had in Cancun on our anniversary day. My husband and I truly believe that Laura captured the most beautiful memories that we will cherish forever!

We honestly loved the experience and we felt so comfortable and had a lot of fun, my husband wants to do this experience again with Local Lens and we highly recommend Laura.-Bilkin
Had a Just Because photoshoot for headshots at the WeWork Reforma location - Very nice experience, fantastic photographer!-David
We had a Just Because photoshoot to capture a nice memory. Alina was the best. She is so friendly and open to any ideas.-Kartika
I took a solo trip because I had a limited amount of time in Barcelona, and I wanted to make sure I had enough time to do the things I wanted to do.

I chose Barcelona because it was on my bucket list of things to do. I wanted to book a vacation photoshoot because I wanted memories to keep of the places I went to in Barcelona.

The experience was beyond my expectations. Jordi went above and beyond in making sure I was comfortable. He was completely accommodating and did not make me feel rushed.

To create a better experience, I would have liked a little more direction but then again I'm just really awkward when taking pictures.-Kevin
