Best Photography Spots for a Barcelona Photoshoot

Barcelona, the vibrant capital of Catalonia, Spain, is a city that seamlessly blends culture, history, and modernity, making it a paradise for photographers. The city's architectural marvels, including Antoni Gaudí's masterpieces like the Sagrada Familia and Park Güell, provide exceptional opportunities for capturing architectural and artistic beauty. Barcelona's historic districts, such as the Gothic Quarter, offer rich settings for street and historical photography, with winding alleys, centuries-old buildings, and hidden squares. The city's seaside promenades and beaches create the perfect backdrop for seascape and lifestyle photography, where the Mediterranean sea meets urban life. Whether you're focused on the enchanting details of Modernist architecture, the vibrant street scenes, or the lively coastal atmosphere, Barcelona is a visually captivating and culturally diverse destination for photographers to explore and celebrate the city's eclectic spirit.

Jordi was a wonderful photographer for our multi-generational trip to Barcelona. He made everything easy for us as we worked together to plan a location and time for our photoshoot.

He provided suggestions, answered our questions, and established a friendly rapport before we even met in person. He was friendly, professional, and made the experience enjoyable for the whole family. Plus, the photos were great!-AndreyaView Photographer profile
Jordi was absolutely amazing! He was so hopeful about deciding on a spot for me based on some requirements I had for the proposal, and he went above and beyond for the shoot, going so far as to pretend to take pictures of someone else when we got to him, so my girlfriend was distracted.

Would recommend anyone to contact Jordi; it was great to work with him!-JackView Photographer profile
Panna was very easy to work with and shot amazing work! I knew everything related to the area, great photos, easy communication, made the proposal of our dreams come true! 10/10 would recommend her to a friend!-Pat & SarahView Photographer profile
Alvaro was absolutely the best and was there to capture the moment of my surprise engagement photo session.

After that, he walked us around and showed us the perfect locations for more photos. He is the best!-RudyView Photographer profile
We hired Andreu for maternity and family photos with our toddler while on vacation in Barcelona, and he was amazing!

The quality, framing, editing, and look of our photos are perfect and exactly what we wanted - better than we could've hoped for!

He was responsive, communicative, easy-going and so friendly. He interacted great with our toddler and made the whole experience really fun.

He's a Barcelona local too, so it was fun to hear his stories as he showed us around a bit and took us to the best photo spots in the Gothic Quarter.

This was the first time we've ever hired a photographer on vacation, and Andreu really made it worth it. I can't recommend Andreu highly enough!-ShalynnView Photographer profile
Anna was incredible to work with from the very beginning. She helped coordinate and shoot a surprise proposal, in the midst of a busy area she did a fantastic job at getting the best shots while staying discreet for the surprise. Following the proposal, she lent her artistic insight and helped coordinate a wonderful hour-long photoshoot. My fiancé and I love how the pictures turned out! We would absolutely shoot with Anna again.-JamesView Photographer profile
Jordi was so wonderful to work with. He was prepared, kind, engaging, helpful, and best of all you can tell he truly loves what he does!! He not only took amazing family photos, but he also gave us a bit of history while walking through the Gothic Quarters.

He is a gem and we are so lucky to have met him while we were in Barcelona. We will always cherish the beautiful photos he took of our family, which really captured Barcelona! He also rushed to upload our pictures as I am planning to use them for holiday photos. I couldn't recommend him more.-MelissaView Photographer profile
I can recommend Manuel to everyone. He is very helpful in his communication before the shoot and makes sure everyone is on the same page.

During the shoot, Manuel creates a comfortable environment, which is very helpful if you are not that experienced in shooting.

The final pictures were beautiful and delivered quickly.-KishanView Photographer profile
Manuel is very professional, super friendly, and amazingly flexible. We had to change our schedule due to the weather forecast but he was completely open.

Although giving professional suggestions and directions, he carefully listened to our demands and did whatever we asked for.
His photos are amazing.
He is EXTREMELY RECOMMENDED!-EhsanView Photographer profile
We love Jordi! Pre-shoot communication with him was easy. He gave clear directions during the shoot and made us feel comfortable. He gave wonderful suggestions and was very patient with us. You can sense his passion for taking photos, and that is evident in the results.

We will definitely do this again with him. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Gracias, Jordi!-VivienView 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. ⁣
