5.00Jeff was amazing! He was very professional and patient with my toddler. He took us to view points that gave us a nice backdrop of the colosseum. He also managed to avoid the crowds for our photos. He even gave us a suggestion on a spot to visit after our shoot. I had a request for our photo and he was also able to make it work. He made us feel really comfortable and gave us directions on how to pose. I also like his website, the photos were beautifully displayed and downloaded in an easy way. The quality is great. We’ve had photos done before from different photographers in different countries/locations and the quality/resolution are not always of good quality. It was a great experience! Glad we did it with this company. Thanks, Jeff!

5.00If you are looking for a photographer in Rome, do yourself a huge favor and book with Jeff at Eidos Photography. Jeff was fantastic through and through a true gentleman who was incredibly gentle with his instructions and guidance, making the whole session feel effortless. The photos he delivered are breathtaking. They are so gorgeous and professional that they simply can't be compared to anything you’d capture on a smartphone or even with your own high-end camera. These pictures are the ultimate souvenirs that our family will treasure for years to come. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend him to my closest friends and family. In fact, we’ve already decided that whenever my daughter visits Rome, we are booking a session with Jeff for her. He is simply the best!
Wonderful experience!

5.00I cannot recommend Eidos Photography highly enough. Choosing them for my daughter's photoshoot in Rome was the best decision we made during our trip. Sara was truly exceptional—her patience, kindness, and expert guidance on posing made my daughter feel at ease and I wanted to point out that my daughter is not photogenic at all and the pictures came out wonderful! Beyond her artistic talent, Sara's professionalism was unmatched; she was incredibly communicative and even accommodated a last-minute schedule change due to weather. If you are looking for a photographer in Rome, look no further. Book today!
Amazing experience

Perfect Surprise Engagement

5.00Jeff did an incredible job capturing our surprise engagement at the Colosseum. Despite the chaos of having around 35,000 people there for the marathon, he somehow managed to take photos that look like we had the entire place to ourselves. Every shot turned out beautiful. We’re so grateful for his skill and attention to detail—highly recommend!
Flying Dress Session at the Colosseum

5.00I had an incredible experience with Jeff for a flying dress photoshoot at the Colosseum. From start to finish, everything was seamless, professional, and truly special. Every photo felt thoughtfully composed and beautifully captured—he has such a unique eye for light, movement, and detail. The final images honestly took my breath away. He was easy to communicate with via what'sapp. He brought an assistant Sara to help me change into his provided red flying dress in a pop-up tent. She was helped assist in the photoshoot by fluffing up the dress and guiding me through poses. I felt completely confident in Jeff's vision the entire time. If you are considering a photoshoot in Rome, I cannot recommend him enough. This was more than just a photoshoot—it was an unforgettable experience and a highlight of my trip. I will treasure these photos forever.
