Portrait photographer in Klagenfurt

A portrait photographer in Klagenfurt is a photographer who makes individual portraits – for a personal website, a book cover, an artist profile, a dating app or simply a milestone birthday – with time to find the light and the expression that feels like you. Klagenfurt’s old town has an unusual resource for this: the tourism board counts around 80 inner courtyards, and the city says more than 50 arcaded courtyards, mostly from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, have been restored and opened to the public. Their arcades throw even, open shade even at midday, which is the light portraits need.

The courtyards also differ enough to give a session variety within a few hundred metres. The Haus zur Goldenen Gans, first recorded in 1489, is the oldest surviving house in the city; the Bamberger Hof on the Alter Platz has a Renaissance arcade and façade from 1650 with a passage through to the Renngasse; the Ossiacherhof in the Wiener Gasse hides three-storey arcades behind a stuccoed first courtyard. A portrait session lasts 45 to 90 minutes, with one to three outfits, and you choose your favourites from an online gallery before final retouching.
