Photo Tours & Walks
Casablanca is not a postcard city. Its beauty does not pose for you: it hides in courtyards, on rooftops, in the hour when the Atlantic light hits a white facade at exactly the right angle. I have spent more than fifteen years learning where and when to look. On my photo tours, I take you there.
What we shoot
The art deco center and its stairwells, the old medina, the ocean corniche, the markets, the brutalist landmarks of the 1950s, the details a guidebook never mentions. Walks are built around light: early mornings for empty streets, late afternoons for long shadows. Tours in Casablanca are on foot; trips beyond the city are possible by arrangement.
Who it is for
Travelers with any camera, from a phone to a Leica. Photographers who want local access and honest advice on where the pictures are. Small groups and individuals. I guide in English, French and Russian, and enough Arabic to open the doors that matter.
How a walk works
- Plan. You write with your dates, the size of the group and what you want to photograph: architecture, street life, the ocean, or a mix.
- Route. I build the route around the light of that day and the places that fit your interests, and send you the meeting point.
- Walk. We shoot as we go. I share the history behind the facades and practical advice on composition, light and settings for the camera in your hands.
- After. You leave with your own pictures and a better sense of where the city hides its best light.
What to bring
The camera you like to use, charged batteries and a free memory card. Comfortable shoes: Casablanca is best discovered on foot. In summer, a hat and water.

Why with me
I am a professional photographer based in Casablanca since 2010 and a member of Casamemoire, the association that protects the city’s 20th century heritage. You get a working photographer’s eye, the history behind every facade, and the city as locals know it. If you want a portrait session during the walk, see my photo shoot services.
Questions travelers ask
Do I need a professional camera?
No. People join with phones, compact cameras and full kits, and the advice adapts to the camera in your hands.
Can we photograph people in the streets?
Yes, with respect. I show you how to ask, when to put the camera down and which places call for discretion. In the medina and the markets, a smile and a question open more doors than a long lens.
Can you take portraits of us during the walk?
Yes. A portrait session can be added to the walk: see photo shoot services.
How much does a tour cost?
Rates depend on group size and duration.
Write to me with your dates and I will send options.
