Overview

Hello! I’m Stephanie, the creator of Pictouring™. As an architect and passionate photographer, I’m excited to guide you through Alfama on a unique experience that invites you to explore, observe, and discover the city while experimenting with instant photography. You’ll be the photographer, creating at least ten unique prints to proudly share and take home, while I offer my expertise and creative spirit to help you capture spectacular photographs of Lisbon’s oldest district.

I'll equip you with Fujifilm’s Instax Mini Evo instant camera, teach you how to use it—no previous photography experience needed— and together, we’ll wander Alfama’s narrow, cobbled streets, capturing the essence of this historic quarter.

Why instant photography? The Mini Evo brings back the nostalgic charm of physical photos with 10 lens and 10 film effects, making the city’s vibrant hues and textures come alive in your photos. Join me to unleash your creativity and explore Alfama in a fresh, exciting way!
