Need a photographer in Europe
This actually applies to us. We will travel much of this summer in Europe. I find that perfect souvenir is photos. How else to capture these beautiful memories?
A COUPLE TIPS
My agency in Poland, doesn’t require professional headshots. However, modelling agencies in UK definitely require them. You can check the European agencies, but most prefer natural polaroids.
Once again if you are in a major city this is easy. I find living in Europe, every capital city has good photographers. It is much easier in Europe than the US to find professionals.
Ask your agency first
Although this may be unnecessary, your agency could refer photographers. So I would say trust the agency, and approach the recommended photographers first. My personal observations, I find that in Europe personal photographers who shoot headshots usually don’t shoot for commercial clients. Commercial photographers are often in house and only shoot for their brand.
studios that also are agencies
Finally in Europe, there are photo studios and photographers that also moonlight as modelling agencies. They get jobs from local brands. Then they use the models in their database for these jobs.
I have compiled a shortlist here to help you. Please note their Instagram handle for further information.

brand SESSIONS
Sessions are very popular in Europe. A session is where photographer, stylist, and HMUA come up with an original editorial style concept. However unlike in the USA you don’t normally have to pay for sessions. Normally for participating in a session you don’t get paid with money. Most likely you will receive some clothes and photos in exchange for your participation.
Follow your favourite local brand on Instagram and look for posts and stories with dates of their next session.
TRy Edgier Styles for less invest
If you want to be more cost conscious. Instagram is a great tool to find amateur and professional photographers in your area. Search hashtags with your city name and photographers. Wait for the photos you like to pop up. Then contact the photographer directly and plan your own shoot! You will see each city and country varies from style to style. These are the perfect memories of your kids and travel.
