About Coimbra
Coimbra is steeped in history and academic tradition. Home to one of Europe's oldest universities (founded in 1290), the city features the breathtaking Joanina Library — a baroque masterpiece that rivals anything in Europe. The university campus, perched on a hilltop overlooking the Mondego River, offers panoramic views that make for dramatic portrait backdrops. The old town's narrow medieval streets, the romantic Quinta das Lágrimas gardens (linked to the tragic love story of Pedro and Inês), and the Santa Clara Monastery all provide diverse and stunning photography settings.

Frequently asked questions
Is the studio rental included in the price?
It depends on the photographer. Many studio photographers run their own space and include it in the session fee — check the package description on their profile. Others book a third-party studio per session and pass the cost through (typically €40–€100 depending on city and studio size). For clarity, the price shown on Photo Portugal includes everything unless the photographer's profile says otherwise. If you're unsure, message the photographer before booking — they'll confirm whether studio rental is bundled.
How many outfit changes are included?
Most 60-minute studio sessions include 2–3 outfit changes; 90-minute sessions allow 3–4. Studios have changing areas, mirrors, and full-length lighting for outfit checks. Bring outfits on hangers (less wrinkled) and shoes that match — feet often appear in editorial-style shots. For headshots specifically, one neutral top + one professional/business top is enough; for personal branding or editorial, more variety helps. Your photographer will guide which outfits photograph best against the chosen backdrop.
Can we shoot a mix of studio and outdoor in one session?
Yes, and it's a popular request. A 2-hour session typically splits 60 minutes in studio (clean headshots, editorial portraits) and 60 minutes outdoors (lifestyle, contextual). The photographer will pick a nearby outdoor location so transit doesn't eat into shoot time — common pairings are studio + miradouro in Lisbon, studio + Foz beach in Porto, studio + marina in Cascais. Mention this when booking and the photographer will plan logistics, including outfit swaps for indoor/outdoor needs.
