Photo Session in Biel: Hidden Corners with a Local Photographer

Walk Biel's best-kept corners while a photographer who lives here captures you in them.

A photo session in Biel with Lily, a local freelance photographer, takes you through the city's historical, urban and waterfront areas while she photographs you in the places locals love most. You choose 10 of the photos taken during the session for professional retouching, delivered via Dropbox. The session runs up to three hours and includes bottled water.

The experience

You arrive with a free afternoon or a few hours between other plans, and Biel is new to you. Instead of walking the city alone with a phone camera, you book a session with someone who has lived here and knows which corners actually matter. Lily moves you through three distinct sides of the city (the historical quarters, the contemporary urban spaces, and the waterfront) stopping at the places that residents themselves choose. She frames the shots, adjusts your position, and works with whatever ideas you bring about how you want to look or what you want to convey. The result is a set of images that feel like you belong in this city, not like you're passing through it.

During the session, Lily photographs you across all the stops. Afterward, you review everything and pick ten images you want to keep. Those ten go through professional retouching and arrive in a shared Dropbox folder, ready to download. The whole thing takes up to three hours, and you get bottled water along the way. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, with family or with a group of friends, the session adjusts to who you are and what you're comfortable with.

Is this one for you?Book this if you have a few free hours in Biel and want photographs that show you actually in the city rather than just passing through it. Lily's knowledge of where locals go means you'll end up in corners most visitors miss, and the ten retouched images give you something to keep that feels personal rather than generic.
