Sixty Minutes at Broad and High, Forty-Five Edited Photos

A photographer takes the hour, and the platform takes the editing. What you decide is where in downtown Columbus to stand.

Plan a portrait hour at Broad and High.

Downtown Columbus keeps its landmarks close together. The Ohio Statehouse holds the corner of Broad and High, and the Scioto Mile runs its trails along the river from Bicentennial Plaza in the south to North Bank Park in the north. An hour goes further in a downtown this compact than the number suggests. This booking puts a photographer at that crossing with camera gear and hands you sixty minutes of it.

The listing is plain about what it sells. Sixty minutes, private, and forty-five edited professional photographs delivered through an online gallery in three to five working days, Monday through Friday. The photographer brings the camera gear to the meeting point, and the guiding language is English.

The Corner You Start On

The Capitol Square Foundation gives the Statehouse address as 1 Capitol Square, at the corner of Broad and High. The booking names that same crossing as its meeting point, which puts the first backdrop in place before the hour starts.

The operator writes that it waits there with its camera material, and adds that it is flexible and can meet where you prefer. That makes the corner a starting default and leaves the alternative for you to name.


The River Side of Downtown

The Scioto Mile is the run of parks and trails along the Scioto River downtown. Experience Columbus describes multi-use trails stretching from Bicentennial Plaza in the south to North Bank Park in the north, and counts 33 new acres of parkland added there in 2015.

From the bank, the skyline stands behind you rather than over you, which is the one frame the blocks around Capitol Square cannot give.


Forty-Five Frames, Then a Link

The deliverable is written into the listing: 45 edited professional photographs at the highest resolution, sent through an online gallery within three to five working days, Monday through Friday. Nothing changes hands on the day itself; the hour buys the shoot and the gallery link follows.

The editing is not the job of whoever holds the camera. The operator's own terms describe Travel and Abroad as an intermediary platform connecting clients with independent photographers, state that all photographers work as independent contractors and are not employees, and say the platform handles the editing and delivery on a single workflow across every city it sells. That workflow, not the photographer's own diary, is what the three-to-five-day window is measuring.

The ticket is mobile, one per booking, and the listing notes that a paper ticket is accepted as well.


Who Can Book It

Two travelers aged twelve or over is the minimum on a booking, and one booking takes up to fifteen travelers. The shoot is private, which keeps those fifteen inside your own group. Anyone under twelve books on a separate age band.

The listing marks the experience wheelchair accessible, allows service animals, lets infants and small children ride in a pram or stroller, and calls it suitable for all physical fitness levels. It also notes that public transportation options are available nearby.


Bookings run every day of the week, and a full refund is available on cancellations made at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time. The meeting point on file is W Broad St at S High St, and the operator invites you to name a different one.
