1. Planning your photo shoot

Why use TripShooter?

There are at least four good reasons to use TripShooter:

Know that you’re in the hands of experts – Our professional photographers are accustomed to getting the best out of people. They’re practiced in making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. They’re also expert in post-production techniques that will make you look amazing. So you can relax on your photo shoot knowing that you’re in friendly, practiced hands.
Be in the picture – all together – Taking travel photos is great. But isn’t it even greater to have travel photos with you in them? We know it’s hard to be taking great photos of you and your loved ones, enjoying yourself and being in the frame all at once. Hire a Tripshooter photographer and you’ll never have to rely on the unpredictable talents of random strangers (or the static look of a self-timer!) ever again!
Fantastic locations, stunning shots – So you’re going to some of the most beautiful places in the world? It’s time to feel a bit special. Let your hair down and kick up your heels. Our photos are professional quality and come complete with retouching. Our photographers will make you look and feel as fantastic as the places you’re visiting.
Relax and enjoy the moment – Finally you can be yourself and really experience those treasured holiday moments. No more experiencing the world behind a camera lens or missing the moment fiddling with tech gadgets. Look around you, smell the air and feel the sun (or rain!) on your skin. You’ll never get this moment again – or look so good doing it!

What is TripShooter’s photographic style?

We believe in genuine and natural photography where you can be yourself. We treasure authentic moments, and offer both dynamic portrait and photo-documentary style photographs that will leave you with beautiful lasting memories.

In order for the photographs to best represent your personality and preferences, make sure you discuss with your photographer what kind of photos you like prior to the photo shoot, so that he or she can best meet your expectations.

Where do you shoot?

We shoot on-site at your travel destination- typically at visually striking places chosen to best represent your personality and your holiday vacation. You can choose the neighborhood(s) you prefer, or our photographer will be happy to use his or her expert knowledge to ensure you are shot in a location that is unique, natural or typical of your destination, as you prefer.

How much does it cost?

No (bad) surprises here! We offer a simple and unique pricing regardless of your destination. For your convenience we offer three different options to fit your personal project and budget. You may wish to visit our Photo Shoot Bookings Page for more information.

You can pay with PayPal or any major credit cards.

We offer you a 100% refund guarantee if for any reason our photographer could not do your photo shoot.

How long before the photo shoot do I need to book?

We require about 2 weeks notice to secure your photographer. However we understand that holidays go fast and that you may want a photo shoot at a shorter notice. Please drop us an email if you are short in time as we might still be able to fit you in as a last minute job.

Who owns the photos?

You have the rights to use the photos for personal use – you may view them as an online slideshow, download them on your computer, print them on paper, merchandising or poster, share them with your friends and family…

We like to showcase your photos on our blog , but if you prefer to keep them private, you may request a secured password gallery and we will not post anything publicly. The photographer retains the copyright.

What happens if Tripshooter has to cancel the photo shoot?

In the unlikely event that we would have to cancel your photo shoot, we would do our best to propose an alternative time or location, or if you prefer we would refund you 100% of your money. That is our 100% refund guarantee.

2. During the photo shoot

Where will I meet my photographer?

We have a list of pre-selected meeting spots close to great shoot locations. Alternatively if you prefer, the photographer can meet you at your hotel and take the photos in its vicinity.

We will email you clear meeting instructions and you will have the photographer’s photo and mobile number to find each other, if necessary.

What to wear? Colors, patterns

No stress… you’re on holidays! Feel free to wear what you like.

If you want some ideas, you may want to consider wearing clothes that complement the other people in your photograph, or the surroundings. Some people prefer to wear loosely similar style clothing, but it’s completely up to you.

There’s no hard and fast rules relating to prints or colours. The main thing that can change photos from looking great to spectacular if you are wearing something you love, whether it’s your favourite shirt, or something that makes you feel like a million dollars. Don’t be afraid to stand out! If you’d love to wear a red top hat, go ahead! Which reminds us…

What to bring?

We love accessories (scarves, umbrellas, hats, funny glasses, or even just great big ice-creams…) Please bring them along if you like them too! They spark creativity and look great in photos.

What should I do if I am running late?

Please call the photographer’s mobile to let him or her know immediately.

Depending on the photographers’ personal schedule you may be able to extend or reschedule the photo shoot but we can’t guarantee it. This depends on the photographer availability and discretion only.

What should I do if you can’t find the photographer?

Please call the photographer’s mobile to get directions.

What to do if you need to cancel?

We understand that things change, especially on holidays! No worries. You get a full refund if you cancel more than 7 days before the shoot and 50% refund if you cancel up to 48h before the shoot. If you cancel less than 48h before the shoot you’re not entitled for a refund but we will give you a TripShooter discount voucher to use for a new booking. No shows will not be entitled any refund.
