What to Expect and How It Works
This photoshoot isn’t about long, exhausting photo sessions. Instead, it’s a quick, thoughtfully curated experience designed to give you beautiful, share-worthy images in a short amount of time. You begin just outside the Duomo di Milano, the city’s most recognizable symbol, which provides a dramatic backdrop with its intricate façade and soaring spires. From there, your photographer, Mihaela Puscas, will guide you through a series of poses and settings designed to bring out your best features.
The session will include a 30-minute stop in Duomo Square, where you’ll have opportunities for both candid and posed shots. The environment around the square is lively, filled with travelers and locals, which adds a vibrant atmosphere to your photos. If you want, there’s an option to visit a second location, such as Sforzesco Castle or its courtyard, which are equally photogenic and steeped in Milanese charm.
What Makes the Photos Special?
The photos are edited by hand, with each image receiving individual attention. You won’t find generic, batch-processed images here. Instead, expect natural-looking photos with slight skin smoothing and minor enhancements, never altering your body shape or features. This approach guarantees photos that are flawless yet authentic, perfect for sharing on Instagram or capturing memories for a lifetime.
One reviewer, Francesca, highlighted how her photographer, Mihaela, was “professional, smart, and kind,” sharing posing tips and ideas—something that can really boost your confidence in front of the camera.
The Reels and Photos for Social Media
Beyond static images, you’ll get two 30-second cinematic reels. These short videos are designed to showcase movement and personality, ideal for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Stories, or YouTube Shorts. They add a dynamic element to your collection, capturing the essence of your Milan visit in motion.
