To shoot in Lisbon, you’ll need a camera and a few lenses. If traveling with your own gear, be sure to bring your passport and visa if required. The following are the basics for shooting in Lisbon:
Lisbon is a great place to shoot landscapes, architecture, and cityscapes. Lisbon vacation photoshoots and tours are well-lit at night and during the day there are plenty of opportunities for beautiful shots of the riverfront or old buildings. For portraiture, head to Bairro Alto or Alfama districts.
If you’re interested in street photography, be prepared for lots of people and some tight spaces. Try to find interesting juxtapositions – like two very different neighborhoods side by side – or use interesting backgrounds like waterfalls or bridges. Be aware that graffiti can be an issue in some areas so it’s always a good idea to have a cleaner copy of your image handy if you want to show someone the photo while they’re still in the area.

Here are some additional tips for shooting in Lisbon:
– Bring a tripod if you plan on doing any long exposures; short exposures will work just fine with most cameras but don’t expect great results due to the vibrations caused by traffic.
– Avoid shooting in busy tourist areas; try out quieter neighborhoods where you’ll have more control over your environment.
– Shoot RAW images instead of JPEGs if possible; this will give you more flexibility should you need to make adjustments later on.
– Bring a full tank of gas if you’ll be traveling around the city; street parking can be hard to find and expensive.
