If the idea of having a professional photographer help you capture your time in Graz sounds appealing, then this private photoshoot walk in the old town might just be a highlight of your trip. Run by Omar Ch-Hibat Photography, this experience offers a focused, intimate way to immortalize your visit while wandering through the city’s most photogenic spots. Designed for couples, families, or small groups, it’s a chance to combine sightseeing with professional-quality photos.
What we love about this experience is the personalized approach and the expert guidance on posing and locations. You won’t be just snapping selfies against a boring wall; instead, you’ll get a curated, relaxed session with real attention to your style and preferences. Another plus: the stunning backdrops, from charming alleys to impressive architecture, make for photos you’ll want to print and frame.
That said, a potential consideration is the cost relative to smaller groups or solo travelers, as it’s priced at $199 for up to two people—good value for couples or small families, but perhaps less so for larger groups.

What to Expect During the Session
The one-hour session is quite flexible. It includes a personalized consultation beforehand, where Omar discusses your style, the kind of photos you want, and any specific needs.

You can expect to be guided through several different backdrops, with the goal of capturing stunning, authentic images that reflect your personality and travel experience. The photos are then meticulously edited before being delivered digitally around 7-10 days later.

The Value of Professional Photos in a Historic Setting
While $199 might seem like a premium for a one-hour private session, the value lies in quality, convenience, and lasting memories. Instead of trying to snap photos yourself or rely on strangers with smartphones, you get a dedicated photographer who knows how to make the most of Graz’s beauty and your best angles.
