If applicable, what is your growth like? And what milestones has your startup achieved so far?:
We started in small with 2 locations, London and Paris, this year has seen us expand to include 20 of the most frequented tourist destinations worldwide.
Why did you choose this particular idea and concept to build your start-up on?:
I took my partner to Venice for her birthday a few years back, the idea was to return from this beautiful location with photos that documented our journey and we were proud to show off to friends & family. Unfortunately the reality was a few out of focus selfies, pictures we had pestered strangers to take for us and [photos of random buildings clearly taken by an amateur. The photos didn’t represent the wonderful places we had visited and the great time we had.
The idea was born from there, I thought it would be great to hire a local photographer that could also act as a old friend. Not only capturing your travels in a contemporary style but offering advice and tips on places to see and visit.
With the change in attitudes towards photography in recent years (most people are now comfortable taking photos of themselves with cameras on long sticks) and the boom in social media, now is the time to take it that step further with a personal photographer.
