For those who would rather have a photo album, rather than a video clip, there’s a similar service for still images.
Flytographer will dispatch one of its photographers to document your travels—either as a planned photo shoot or in “stealth mode.” Run by Nicole Smith, a British Columbia marketing executive who was tired of taking selfies on vacation, Flytographer’s services are meant to be booked in half-hour to half-day intervals, with prices starting at $250. Since its launching in 2013, it has expanded to cover travelers in 180 cities around the globe. Its biggest demographic, naturally, is the man who’s planning to propose—the company has gotten so many of these requests, it even launched a Proposal Concierge service to help plan, execute, and capture that perfect surprise.
