Book a Studio Portrait Session
on the Costa Brava

It depends on the photographer. Many studio photographers run their own space and include it in the session fee — check the package description on their profile. Others book a third-party studio per session and pass the cost through (typically €40–€100 depending on city and studio size). For clarity, the price shown on Photo Spain includes everything unless the photographer's profile says otherwise. If you're unsure, message the photographer before booking — they'll confirm whether studio rental is bundled.

Most 60-minute studio sessions include 2–3 outfit changes; 90-minute sessions allow 3–4. Studios have changing areas, mirrors, and full-length lighting for outfit checks. Bring outfits on hangers (less wrinkled) and shoes that match — feet often appear in editorial-style shots. For headshots specifically, one neutral top + one professional/business top is enough; for personal branding or editorial, more variety helps. Your photographer will guide which outfits photograph best against the chosen backdrop.

Yes, and it's a popular request. A 2-hour session typically splits 60 minutes in studio (clean headshots, editorial portraits) and 60 minutes outdoors (lifestyle, contextual). The photographer will pick a nearby outdoor location so transit doesn't eat into shoot time — common pairings are studio + mirador in Madrid, studio + Barceloneta beach in Barcelona, studio + marina in Sitges. Mention this when booking and the photographer will plan logistics, including outfit swaps for indoor/outdoor needs.

Professional photoshoots on the Costa Brava start from €310. A typical one- to two-hour session runs roughly €310 to €450, depending on the duration and the number of edited photos included. The coast is long, so it helps to pick one area — Tossa de Mar, Cadaqués or the coves near Palafrugell — rather than trying to link several in a single session.

Tossa de Mar's walled Vila Vella above the beach and the whitewashed bay of Cadaqués are the two postcards. Between them, the Camí de Ronda coastal path opens onto coves reached only on foot, Calella de Palafrugell has arched fishermen's houses right on the water, and Cap de Creus gives bare rock and open Mediterranean at the northern end.

The last two hours of light are what these cliffs and coves are made for — the pines go dark and the water keeps its colour. Cadaqués works at almost any hour thanks to all the whitewash. The tramuntana, a cold north wind, can blow hard around Cap de Creus in any season. July and August fill the parking and the beaches, so June and September are calmer.
