Couple photoshoot in the canal ring: staircases, street lamps and red doors

A couple photoshoot through the canal ring built around the details Amsterdam is known for: stone staircases at the front doors, old street lamps, stepped gables, red double doors and a carved stone portal. About an hour and a quarter, with a second look.

Where we walked

1. A bridge and tall gables

The first frames were on a canal bridge with tall gabled houses behind, close and then wide.

2. Staircases at the front door

Many canal houses have a stone staircase up to a raised front door. Holding hands on the steps, one a step higher than the other, is one of the simplest poses in the city.

3. Street lamps

Along the canal the old cast-iron lamps are spaced out like props. Leaning on one, then dancing around it, turns into natural movement within a minute.

4. Red double doors

A pair of red double doors with stone steps is a favourite stop on our routes; you can also see it in our surprise proposal session.

5. Gables across the water and a stone portal

After a change of look, a kiss with a row of gabled houses across the canal, and a few portraits in front of a carved stone doorway.

Why details matter in Amsterdam

The canal ring is full of small backdrops: a staircase, a lamp, a coloured door. Moving between them every few minutes keeps the gallery varied, even when the whole session stays within a few streets.
