Berlin gives a photographer two very different palettes, the grand axis around the Brandenburg Gate and the raw color of the East Side Gallery, and the best ones use both.
Our pick
The East Side Gallery murals and the steel span of the Oberbaumbrucke deliver Berlin's gritty character, while Museum Island and the gate carry the formal side. A photographer who shoots across the city knows when the TV Tower lines up over a side street and how the light falls along the Spree at dusk. They build a route that swings between the polished and the unpolished. Covering that range in a single session is rare, and it is what you book this for.
If our pick doesn't fit
You learn technique from a working pro while shooting the city, so it functions as a class rather than a portrait session.
Adds a chauffeur and guide to cover far more ground, though the price jumps considerably for the upgrade.
