5.00These photographs are simply incredible. Osvaldo is a master of setting and then likely using technology to edit out unwanted intrusions. The pictures he took of our family are truly treasures. Venice is beautiful. I cannot think of a better setting for family photographs. Osvaldo captured the drama of the city and the best of our family. This review is a small thank you.

5.00Had such an amazing photography session today with my wife and Osvaldo. From the moment we started, he made us feel completely at ease and was so patient throughout. He really knows all the best spots and angles, and guided us perfectly to get the best shots. It never felt rushed, and he took the time to make sure every picture was just right. We had a great time and the whole experience felt natural and enjoyable. Osvaldo is a true professional, and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

5.00Osvaldo was very nice and easy to talk to. I normally don't like having my picture taken but he was so good at direction and making me feel comfortable that I ended up really enjoying myself. It was a good way to see the city too and get tips from a local. While waiting for the gondola we had some coffee and pastries at a local shop and it was divine. I will definitely hire him again for family photos later this year!
Amazing photos!

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Osvaldo in Venice! He was highly professional and creative, with a great eye for capturing Venice’s iconic spots. He knew exactly where to take us for the best shots and gave fantastic guidance on posing, which was especially helpful for us with our height differences (5ft1 and 6ft4). The photos were worth every penny—beautiful keepsakes that we’ve shared with family and will treasure as memories. If you want truly stunning photos to remember your time in Venice, Osvaldo is the way to go!

5.00I would leave more than 5 stars if I could. Osvaldo knows all the best spots, knows how to highlight your own chemistry with your partner, and has great tips for posing! We had an absolutely amazing experience with him even though my partner and I are both a bit awkward with photos haha!
