Traveling to Seoul always feels like stepping into a K-drama — charming alleyways, neon-lit streets, hidden cafés, and a buzz that never dies. As someone who loves capturing the essence of every trip, I often find myself wishing I had more than just selfies and random street shots on my phone.
This time, I decided to try something different — I booked a street photoshoot through Photo Trips. And let me tell you: best. decision. ever.
What is Photo Trips?
Photo Trips is an online platform that connects travelers with professional local photographers for curated photoshoot experiences in destinations like Seoul, Tokyo, and more. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with friends, you can easily browse different photo experiences, check what’s included, and book instantly — no awkward back-and-forths or language barriers.
It’s not just about pretty pictures. It’s about discovering a city through the eyes of someone who truly knows it — and capturing your travel memories with a touch of magic.
Why Book a Photoshoot in Seoul?
Seoul is a photographer’s dream. From the vintage vibes of Ikseon-dong to the artsy corners of Hongdae or the cool backdrop of Seongsu, there’s beauty at every turn. But if you don’t know where to go — or when to catch that perfect light — you might miss it.
That’s where having a local photographer like Josh makes all the difference.
My Review of the Casual Street Photoshoot in Seoul
I chose the Casual Street Photoshoot in Seoul because it offered just what I wanted: an easy, relaxed session in photogenic streets — no stiff poses, no pressure, just good vibes.
Booking was super smooth — the website is intuitive, and I got a confirmation right away.
What I really enjoyed is the fact that they had a lot of diversity in terms of style of photography so you can basically choose what type of pictures you want to get. It was also really useful to have access to the availability of the photographers in Real Time! It saves a lot of back and forth questions.
After the booking, the photographer contacted me via WhatsApp and I received all the info I needed before the shoot, including the meeting point and what to expect.
When I met Josh, my photographer, I instantly felt at ease. He’s friendly, professional, and knows Seoul’s backstreets like the back of his camera. We explored charming alleys, minimalist cafés, and vibrant murals — spots I probably wouldn’t have found on my own. Josh gave me just the right amount of direction (great if you’re not used to posing!) while letting me be myself.
In less than an hour, I felt like I had done both a photo session and a mini walking tour with a local friend.
A few days later, I received the photos — beautifully edited, crisp, and totally “me.” It felt like a magazine feature but still authentic. I couldn’t stop scrolling through them!
Favorite Highlights
- Hidden mural alleyways that gave a colorful edge to the photos.
- A quick break at a stylish café that doubled as a perfect photo backdrop.
- The golden hour light catching the city in the softest glow — all perfectly timed by Josh.
Who Should Try Photo Trips?
- Solo travelers who want memories without selfie sticks.
- Couples looking for romantic, candid moments.
- Content creators or anyone who wants high-quality visuals from their trip.
- Anyone who wants more than just a photo — a real, personalized travel experience.
Photo Trips Review – Final Thoughts
My experience with Photo Trips in Seoul was beyond expectations. It’s one thing to explore a city — it’s another to see it through the lens of someone who lives and breathes it. Josh didn’t just take photos — he told a story. My story.
If you’re heading to Seoul and want to bring home more than just souvenirs, I highly recommend booking the Casual Street Photoshoot with Josh. Trust me, your Instagram (and your future self) will thank you.
