If you're taking a trip to Louisville, make sure to bring your camera. Whether you're a professional photographer or a rising Instagram star, Louisville is the perfect backdrop to build your portfolio.
Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory
The Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory is one of the most iconic places in Louisville. That says a lot, considering everything this city has to offer. Baseball fans will love the photo op with the giant bat at the museum's entrance. The bat is over four stories high and makes a cool backdrop for engagement photos for sports lovers or a souvenir photo from Louisville. While you're there, it's worth buying a ticket to take the tour. The museum is located downtown on West Main Street, which is known as Museum Row. If you plan to photograph in the downtown area, check out downtown Louisville hotels through Hotel Planner so you can shoot similar scenes as the lighting changes throughout the day.
​

St. James Court
Make your way to St. James Court to photograph one of the most well-known locations in Louisville. St. James Court was the site of the Southern Exposition from 1883 to 1887. This five-year exposition was similar to the World's Fair. Thomas Edison turned on the most significant light display outside of New York City to start the event. Once the exposition was over, the stunning homes and impressive fountain took the exposition's place. The backdrop is remarkable for a variety of photographs, whether you're a professional photographer or just uploading your visit to social media.

Door to Nowhere
Visit the Door to Nowhere for captivating photographs. Officially the Heigold House Facade, this venue offers the obligatory photo op of Louisville. The stunning mansion was created by German immigrant and stone cutter Christian H. Heigold. After the city of Louisville diverted a creek, the neighborhood of the Heigold House was flooded almost annually. The town stopped aiding and rebuilding, and the facade of the home was the only thing saved, although it has been moved from its original location.

Waterfront Park
Waterfront Park offers views of the various bridges across the Ohio River as well as downtown Louisville and, of course, the park itself. Grab your camera and take a stroll through the park to find the perfect photo opportunities through the 85 acres. Green lawns and walking paths offer plenty of outdoor options to take a selfie by the river, shoot wedding photographs, or snap vacation photos to send to your friends and family.

Belle of Louisville
If you really want to explore Louisville and get that perfect picture, hop on the Belle of Louisville for the best views of the city. This iconic steamboat was built in 1914 in Pittsburgh but made its way to Louisville in 1931. It continued making trips to the Gulf of Mexico until World War II, when the ship remained in Louisville. Over time the ship was used for various purposes but was eventually bought for river tours and began operations as the oldest steamboat in the United States.
Louisville has much to offer visitors. That includes backdrops for stunning photos during your visit, as well.
