“I can highly recommend the photo tour with Fernando. He is a great Photographer and knows the Medina of Marrakech very well. My goal was to take portraits of people - and it worked. I couldn’t have taken those pictures without Fernando. He was an incredible help and was able to connect to so many people. Anytime again, thank you Fernando.”

“Fernando was an indispensable aid in enabling me to get some really fine street shots in the notoriously difficult Marrakech. I took the full day walking tour and we clicked from the get-go. He’s a wonderful guy whose company and skills as photographer and linguist are to be enjoyed.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the photo tour with Fernando. It was a fun and relaxed day that allowed me to capture a number of excellent shots that I would have struggled to get without Fernando's knowledge and guidance. He knew a number of great spots to go to, was able to easily engage with locals for occasional photographs and I came away feeling I achieved more than I set out to from the session. Very much looking forward to visiting again and booking another.”

“This was a great tour indeed. The people of Marrakech are not as willing to have their photo taken as much as other counties I have visited so i thought a guide would be a great idea. Fernando was great, he new his way around, was helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend using him! I wanted to photograph people so we strolled around the markets and he spoke to the locals regarding me photographing them. He was a massive help and got me plenty of willing victims.”

We really loved the photo tour with Fernando! As a photographer, it sometimes feels overwhelming to shoot on the streets of Marrakech, even though it’s something I really love. Fernando helped us feel more confortable, and having him approach people for portraits was super helpful. He taught us lots of tricks as well for shooting in the streets of Marrakech. Thank you, Fernando!

“My trip to Morocco was memorable and simply picture perfect thanks to Fernando! I signed up for his private photography walking tours in both Fez and Marrakech and my photos turned out amazing. Not only did he teach me about using my new Canon 6D, he taught me about interacting with locals so I can land that perfect portrait each time. He's got a fantastic eye for light and architecture as well. When most people get lost in the souks, Fernando knew his way around and knew all of the great places to find interesting subjects. He was knowledgable about culture, customs and he speaks both French and Arabic fluently. I'm forever grateful for Fernando's kindness. His photography expertise goes without saying.”

“Had a good time and I am very happy with my photos. Fernando is a nice guy who knows his way around. Marrakech very well and has his way also with locals. Very important for a place where most people do not like being photographed.”
Why booking a photo tour?
Taking photos on the streets of Morocco can be a great challenge, even for most professional Photographers with experience in street photography. Morocco can be a country where your self-confidence is challenged. Bruno Barbey, a Moroccan-born French and a Magnum Photographer once said:
“Here, it is sometimes so difficult for a Photographer to do his job that he must learn to merge into the walls. Photos must either be taken swiftly, with all the attendant risks, or only after long periods of infinite patience. Such was the price of these images… The memory of Morocco can only be captured with respect.”
After years of experience as a Photographer in Morocco, I can only confirm that Barley’s view is so true. It is indeed challenging, but it is also a possible task once you apply a few tricks with the help of a Photographer who has taken time to observe the culture. So, join me in one of my Morocco Photo Tour.
Photographing the streets of Morocco and its people can be challenging and intimidating to the point of questioning your capacities as a Photographer. But, if you approach locals, with a big smile and respect, it can change everything. Especially if we start by saying “Salam alaikum.”
