Oswaldo was early and went right to work. He gave tips, direction and praise when he liked the shot. Fantastic job! We saw a few of the pictures he took, they were amazing.
Thank you, Ike! I really appreciate the feedback. I always try to be early and start right away so we can take advantage of the best light and the quieter spots in Venezia. I’m glad the direction helped you feel comfortable, and I’m happy you liked the photos! It was a pleasure working with you.
Fabulous experience! We learned so much about the city, got a ton of recommendations to do in Venice and the surrounding area, and left with beautiful memories we will cherish forever. If you're on the fence about if you should book we say do it!
Thank you so much! I truly believe that a session should be more than just taking pictures, it’s an opportunity to share the stories and local secrets that make Venezia so unique. I’m glad you found the recommendations helpful for exploring the city and the surrounding islands. It was a real pleasure meeting you and capturing these special memories!
Osvaldo was a wonderful photographer. He worked with us, and took us to several areas to get different feels of Venice. He moved quickly to make the most of our hour. The previews were fantastic, I'm sure the rest will be even better. Great unique experience to do, highly recommend for your memories.
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed the photos. Venice has many different moods, and I always aim to show my clients both the iconic landmarks and some hidden gems in Venezia, even in a one-hour session. It was a pleasure capturing these memories for you. Best, Osvaldo.
These 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.
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m delighted the family photos and Venice’s charm shone through—your family’s warmth made every shot special.
Had 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!
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure spending the morning with you both, exploring Venice and capturing moments in its most beautiful corners. I’m glad the session felt relaxed and natural, that’s always my goal. Wishing you wonderful memories of your time here and hoping Venice will see you again soon.
We did senior portraits for my son and they turned out fantastic. Osvaldo was kind and professional and made us feel comfortable. We received our entire gallery in 1 day. We are so happy to have these memories captured for us.
Thank you for trusting me with such an important milestone. Early mornings in Venice offer such beautiful light, and I’m glad it helped make these portraits truly special. Wishing your son all the best for the exciting journey ahead!
Osvaldo 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!
Thank you so much! I'm really happy to hear you felt comfortable during the shoot—it's always my goal to make the experience enjoyable, especially for those who usually avoid the camera. Exploring Venice with a coffee and a few laughs is always the best way to capture real moments. I look forward to seeing you again for your next visit with the family!
Absolutely amazing if you are in Venice you need to book this photo shoot Osvaldo gave great direction and sent us some of the pictures the day we took it I can’t wait to see how the rest turn out because the preview were absolutely amazing! Don’t miss out on this opportunity! These photos are definitely going to be center prices for our new home ! I can’t thank Osvaldo enough for the greatest experience and creating the highlight of our trip to Italy!
Thank you so much! I’m really glad the photos made such an impact and will have a special place in your new home—that’s the best compliment I could receive. It was a joy to share this experience with you in Venice, and I’m happy it became a highlight of your trip.
Osvaldo, shot the best pictures for us, we were newly married and we used those pictures to anouce our marriage on social media because they were more beautiful than we expected, if you are in Venice you should shoot pictures with Osvaldo, he makes you feel calm and relaxed and he will make sure to take the best pictures for you. i would love to take new pictures with Osvaldo in Dubai too but unfortunetly we couldn't cause he wasn't available. thank you Odvaldo for taking all the time to take the best pictures for us. we are grateful! so talented
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words! It means the world to me that the photos became such a special part of announcing your marriage—what an honor to capture those moments for you. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the experience and felt relaxed during the shoot; that's always my goal. Next time I’m in Dubai, I’ll be sure to reach out so we can create more beautiful memories together! Wishing you both all the happiness in your journey as a married couple. Thank you again for trusting me with such an important moment. 😊
Excellent photo shoot, my wife was looking forward to this part of our trip more than anything, and Osvaldo overdelivered! He was comfortable to work with, on time and efficient, and we're very satisfied with the results.
