Discover Porto through your lens with personalized guidance from professional photographer Pieter Janssen.
About me
I’m Pieter Janssen, a professional photographer based in the heart of Porto. I founded Kiki Photo Tours to share my love for photography and this beautiful city with enthusiasts of all levels.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced photographer, my goal is to help you capture Porto’s charm, culture, and unique light in every shot. Originally I am from The Netherlands, so if you’re looking to practice your Dutch while learning photography, you’ve come to the right place!
More about me
I have lived and worked in Hong Kong and Vietnam. With years of experience photographing Porto and South-East Asia, I specialize in helping photographers see the city through a creative lens.
In addition to my photography, I started doing photography tours in 2013, in Hoi An, Vietnam. Over the years, I’ve led countless photo tours, helping thousands of people discover and develop their own photographic skills.
On each tour, I provide personalized tips on composition, lighting, and storytelling, so you can take home images you’re proud of. My tours are designed to be hands-on, fun, and inspiring, giving you the confidence to improve your skills while exploring the city.
One of my personal career highlights was working with the Dutch Embassy during the visit of the future King and Queen of the Netherlands to Hanoi, where I had the privilege of capturing their meetings with the Vietnamese president and prime minister, as well as their cultural engagements.
In 2024, I relocated to Porto, Portugal, where I continue my work as a professional photographer.
My work has been featured in a variety of publications, including books, magazines, travel brochures, and advertising campaigns. In Hanoi, I had the honour of exhibiting my photography in several galleries.

Why the name Kiki Photo Tours? It’s my daughter’s name.
Reviews
You can check out reviews of my tours in Vietnam on Tripadvisor and Google — they’re full of happy faces and glowing feedback.
Unfortunately I could not bring those lovely reviews with me to Porto, so I have to start from scratch again.
See you on tour!
