About Monaco
Monaco is the smallest playground for the world's wealthiest. From Monte-Carlo Casino and the Hôtel de Paris to Port Hercule, Larvotto Beach and the panoramic exotic gardens, the principality offers a uniquely concentrated luxury aesthetic.
For editorial work, Monaco is a compressed set of contrasts: the Belle Epoque facades of Casino Square, the narrow ochre lanes of Monaco-Ville, the working port of La Condamine and the mirrored towers above Larvotto, all within a twenty-minute walk. We shoot editorials here early, before seven in summer, when the streets are empty and the light rakes low across the marble. By mid-morning the Principality belongs to the crowds again.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an editorial photographer cost in Monaco?
Editorial sessions in Monaco start at 790 € all taxes included for one hour, 1,890 € for a half-day and 2,890 € for a full day. Multi-day productions run on the 5,490 € weekend rate. Every format includes editing, retouching and delivery of the full first images within 48 hours.
Do we need a permit to shoot an editorial in Monaco?
For a small team working handheld in public spaces, no permit is generally required and we shoot discreetly. Larger productions with lighting, assistants or blocked streets should be declared to the Monaco authorities in advance, and we handle that coordination. Photography is never allowed inside the casino gaming rooms.
What are the best editorial locations in Monaco?
Casino Square at dawn for Belle Epoque grandeur, the lanes of Monaco-Ville for ochre walls and shade, Port Hercule for superyacht scale, and the Larvotto seafront for a modern, graphic backdrop. The whole circuit fits in a half-day, which is why Monaco editorials are efficient to produce.
When is the best time for an editorial shoot in Monaco?
Early morning, all year. Monaco wakes late, so between six and nine in summer the streets are almost empty and the light is low and warm. Autumn and winter bring clearer air and quieter weeks, and the Principality's architecture photographs just as well without the summer haze.
