Maria was absolutely great and a lot of fun. We did a family shoot and she was great about directing us for shots as well as taking candid ones. I definitely recommend Maria - kind, professional, and great results.-Jennifer W.View Photographer profile
I have always wanted to do a photoshoot in destination for two reasons: 1) for my business branding purposes as a travel agency owner 2) to show my clients how memories can easily be captured with talented professionals. I had no idea that using Local Lens and connecting with Camtu in Rome would surpass any expectations or desires I had in booking a destination photoshoot. Camtu's vast education and knowledge made working with her easy and so much fun! The fact that she has been behind the camera since a young girl shows how passionate she is in her craft. I truly feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her. She will be my go to person in Rome (and maybe all of Italy!). If you want someone who is extremely talented but understands the use of light, framing, and storytelling through photos - she is your photographer. These are strengths, and he...-Jenn B.View Photographer profile
We had a very good experience with Samira. We were a family of 12 people, where Samira selected perfect locations and got us all together with good inspiration for perfect shots. I can only recommend Samira; she is very professional in her approach and way of working.-PeterView Photographer profile
Dmitry was excellent for the shoot. His communication beforehand was excellent, and he found the best spot for photos. He had excellent knowledge of where it was best to go to have the best shots, and we are really happy with the end photos. Thanks!-Dan & DomView Photographer profile
Alina was fantastic! She worked really well with our crazy group. She was easy to talk to and get the kind of shots we were looking for. It was hard to select from all the great shots she got!-AllisonView Photographer profile
We have a family session with our 7 month old baby and we are very happy with the photos. Alina was patient with our little one and understood what we were looking for.

Highly recommended.-EderView Photographer profile
Had a great experience working with Maria for a surprise proposal at Terrazza Belvedere. Coming from the United States, it is difficult being in unfamiliar territory, but Maria was very helpful in coordinating things leading up to the proposal, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to do a proposal shoot in Rome. She made it really easy and stress-free.

The photos she took came out AMAZING!!!!! She truly knows how to capture the moment. Overall rating is 10/10.-LoganView Photographer profile
We couldn’t have chosen a better photographer for my best friend's wedding!

The pictures she took were amazing! So glad she captured this special moment for us! She went above and beyond!-AngelikiView Photographer profile
