Portrait and individual photography Lisbon Photoshoot: Belem Tower, Alfama, Portas do Sol May 13rd, 2025

With Bella, we spent two full photo days in Lisbon. On the first day, we shot around the Belem area – near the Belem Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery. This is one of the most iconic historic spots in Portugal. The light around Belem Tower is always special – it plays well with the open space and stone textures. Jerónimos Monastery, on the other hand, offers a soft, diffused backdrop, perfect for calm, portrait-style shots. Both locations are very different but work great together.

The next day, we met in Alfama – the oldest part of Lisbon, where everything feels like a movie set. We started near the Lisbon-Sé tram stop, then slowly walked the streets with river views, heading toward Miradouro de Santa Luzia. Everything was covered in flowers – a soft, romantic moment from the city. We wrapped up the session at Miradouro das Portas do Sol, one of the most famous viewpoints. There we got more sun, space, and that classic Lisbon feel.

The shoot went super smoothly. No rush, just following the light and the mood. Bella was open, natural, and honest – and that always makes it easy to create. Big thanks to her for this warm and inspiring photo walk through Lisbon.
