How does booking work?: Send a free request with your place, date and plans. Eriora checks which photographers are available and replies with a proposal stating the photographer, the package and the exact price. Nothing is booked until you accept.

Travelling alone means coming home with plenty of landscapes and very few photographs of yourself. A solo session gives you a handful of portraits in the places you came to see, taken by someone who knows where to stand and when.

It is also a good way to see a place through local eyes. Many solo travellers book a session at the start of a trip and come away with tips for cafés, pubs with live music, walks and viewpoints, as well as the photographs.

The starting session is short, about 30 minutes, which suits a city walk in Dublin or Galway. For coastal places, allow longer. Eriora matches you with a reviewed photographer and sends a proposal before you commit.

Where the session happens

For a short session, cities are easiest. In Dublin, Temple Bar’s lanes, the Ha’penny Bridge and Georgian doorways are close together. Galway has colour on every corner, and Kilkenny has a castle and medieval lanes. For something wilder, the Howth cliff path is a short train ride from Dublin, and Dingle and the Cliffs of Moher suit a longer session.

Preparation tips

Wear something with a bit of colour. A red, yellow or green coat stands out well against Irish skies.
Book early in the trip so you can use the local tips the photographer gives you.
Early mornings in Dublin’s Temple Bar and on Galway’s Shop Street are much quieter than the afternoon.
Bring a hat or a scarf: props help if you are unsure what to do with your hands.
If you want photos for professional use, tell the photographer in advance.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a solo travel photoshoot in Ireland cost?

A solo session through Eriora starts from €190 for about 30 minutes in a city. Longer sessions and coastal locations cost more. Your proposal states the exact figure. See pricing.

Is it safe to meet a photographer alone?

Every photographer on Eriora is reviewed, and sessions start in a public place. You receive the photographer’s name and details in your proposal before you book.

I feel awkward in photos. Will it work?

Yes. Most solo clients feel the same. The photographer gives simple prompts, such as walking, looking at the view or adjusting your coat, and the awkwardness usually disappears after a few minutes.
