Meet our Flytographers: Say Bonjour to Gon\u00e7alo Silva.
Based in Paris. Hails from Lisbon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The very first Flytographer shoot happened one year ago exactly. I had this crazy idea that other travellers would want another option than just selfies and stiff stranger-taken shots. That it was totally worth PAYING for. A friend of mine was traveling to Paris<\/a> and I thought, well, it can\u2019t hurt to test this idea out\u2026 let\u2019s see what happens.<\/p>\n

I found Gon\u00e7alo on Craigslist Paris. It\u2019s kind of unbelievable, but he was the one and only photographer in Paris listed that I really liked and therefore contacted. I explained my concept: editorial-style vacation photos in one hour and he agreed to give it a shot.<\/p>\n

\"vacation<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s our 1-year anniversary and we now have over 60 photographers worldwide. Gon\u00e7alo has been busy in Paris all summer capturing priceless memories for travellers across Canada, USA, Australia, Spain, United Kingdom, Norway and more\u2026 I thought we\u2019d take a minute to share a little more about the man behind the lens.<\/p>\n

\"BLANK_CANVAS_2_1000\"<\/p>\n

Although he has a degree in design, Gon\u00e7alo moved to Paris to pursue his passion: editorial and lifestyle photography. A true dream-chaser. Meet Dee, his Canadian girlfriend, who also works in fashion, and their beloved French Bulldog, Steven.  Favourite Place to Shoot<\/strong>: Bridges on the Seine. Especially ones with the Eiffel in the background.
Favourite Cities to Visit: <\/strong>I love big cities and their different cultures, styles. I\u2019d love to go to NYC<\/a> or London<\/a> someday.  Hmm\u2026 Maybe Emiliano, or Julie can snap him in London? Or Lauren or Gabrielle in NYC? <\/em>
What Inspires Me:<\/strong> Everything in daily life, but mostly fashion and lifestyle photography (see his creative editorial work with Dee below).
Have a question for Gon\u00e7alo?<\/strong> Drop a comment below. Curious about his photos? Stroll on over to our Pinterest Board for Paris<\/a> and see his outstanding work with your own eyes. Truly our original vacation photographer.<\/p>\n

PS \u2013 One last comment. He has a HUGE heart and is incredibly professional as well. We can\u2019t wait to show you his latest shoot with Joyce and Scott Carpenter<\/a>. It was their 29th Anniversary and he went \u2018above and beyond\u2019 to make their day special.
