Quick answers
- What does it cost?
- Solo Traveller Photoshoot starts from DKK 1,500. The final price depends on the place, duration, date, hour, travel (including ferries) and add-ons such as video, and is in your proposal before you book.
- How long does it take?
- A typical session lasts 30 min, and you receive around 20 edited photos.
- What is included?
- A short message exchange about where you are staying and what you would like
- Two or three nearby spots chosen for light and crowds at your hour
- Relaxed direction so you look like yourself, not like a pose
- Professional editing of a curated selection (the starting package is about 30 minutes)
- Where does it happen?
- Popular spots include Copenhagen, Aarhus, and Nyhavn. Your photographer suggests the best one for your date, the light, the wind and the crowds.
- Who is it for?
- People travelling alone in Denmark who want good photos of themselves
- Business travellers with a free hour in Copenhagen
- Anyone celebrating a milestone birthday or a first trip abroad
- Travellers who want a new profile photo with a sense of place
- How does booking work?
- Send a free request with your place, date and plans. Havlys checks which photographers are free and replies with a proposal naming the photographer, the package and the exact price. Nothing is booked until you say yes.
When you travel alone, the only photos of you are selfies and the ones you ask strangers to take. A solo session is the fix: half an hour with a photographer who knows the city, chooses two or three good spots near each other and helps you relax in front of the camera.
It is also a practical way to meet someone local. Photographers often share tips on where to eat, which neighbourhoods to explore and how to get around by bike or metro, and the session can be the start of a day in the city rather than an interruption.
Thirty minutes is enough for one compact area, such as Nyhavn and the harbour, or the canals of Christianshavn. If you want more variety or a slower pace, a longer vacation photography session covers more ground, and if the photos are for work, personal branding photography is planned differently.
We match you with an independent photographer reviewed for portfolio, experience with individuals, languages and local knowledge, and you receive a proposal with their name, package and price before anything is booked.

The session
You meet at an agreed spot, usually easy to reach by metro or on foot. Thirty minutes later you can carry on with your day.
Where the session happens
Most solo sessions are in central Copenhagen, which is compact enough for a 30-minute route. Nyhavn and the harbour are the classic choice; the canals of Christianshavn and the streets around the Round Tower are calmer. In Aarhus, the Latin Quarter and the harbour front are close together. Places such as Skagen or Bornholm start from DKK 4,000, because the photographer travels further and the session is usually longer.
Before your session
- Book early in your trip, so you can use the photos and the local tips for the rest of it.
- Choose a time when the light is soft and the streets are quieter: early morning in summer, early afternoon in winter.
- Wear something you feel good in and that you would wear anyway. A coat or scarf adds colour on grey days.
- Bring one prop that means something, such as a book, a camera or your bike for the day.
- If you are nervous, tell the photographer. Walking and talking photos are easier than standing still.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a solo photoshoot in Copenhagen cost?
A solo traveller session through our platform starts from DKK 1,500 for about 30 minutes in Copenhagen or another city. On the islands and far coasts the starting price is DKK 4,000. The exact price depends on the photographer, date, time and extras and is stated in your proposal.
Is 30 minutes enough?
For one compact area, yes. Thirty minutes gives two or three spots and a good set of photos. If you want several neighbourhoods or a slower pace, ask for a longer session in your request.
Is it safe to meet a photographer alone?
Sessions take place in public places that you agree on in advance, and all photographers are reviewed before joining the platform. You receive the photographer’s name before booking, and you can bring a friend if you prefer.
Can I use the photos for social media or a dating profile?
Yes, personal use includes your own social media and profiles. Commercial use, such as advertising, is different and should be discussed in advance.
What if I am not photogenic?
Most people feel this way. The photographer gives small, concrete prompts, such as walking, looking at the view or adjusting your coat, so you react naturally. After a few minutes most people forget the camera.
