Short answer: a solo photoshoot in Paris with me starts at €200 for one hour in one neighbourhood, with 15 retouched photos delivered within five days. Two hours, two neighbourhoods and 30 photos start at €350. Below is what’s included, what costs extra, and why prices in Paris vary so much.
How much does a photoshoot in Paris cost?
| Package | Price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| One hour | From €200 | 1 hour, one neighbourhood, 15 retouched photos, delivery within 5 days, suggested route |
| Two hours | From €350 | 2 hours, two neighbourhoods, 30 retouched photos, delivery within 5 days |
These are the prices of my solo Paris photoshoot. The number of retouched photos is set before the session, so the total doesn’t change when you see the gallery.
What’s included
- One hour on foot in one neighbourhood, at a pace that suits you.
- A suggested route: I propose neighbourhoods based on the light and what you’re after.
- 15 retouched photos, with a preview the next day and the full gallery within five days, often before you fly home.
- Two Profoto B10X Plus lights when natural light isn’t enough.
- A sunrise session at no extra cost, if you want the city before the crowds.
Add-ons
- Extra hour: +€150, extra photos included.
- Delivery within 48 hours: +€50.
- Keepsake prints: +€50.
- Car service in a Tesla Model 3 (4 seats): +€40 per hour. I pick you up at the address of your choice and drop you off wherever you like afterwards.
When do you pay?
A €100 booking deposit (arrhes) secures your date. The balance is paid after the session, in cash or by card. Cancellation is free up to 14 days before the session; after that, the deposit is kept.
Why prices vary so much in Paris
You’ll see Paris photoshoots advertised at very different prices. The gap rarely comes down to skill; it comes down to how the price is counted. Some photographers charge per photo, so a low starting price grows once you see the gallery. Others add a surcharge for Sundays and public holidays, and prints are almost always extra. Before you compare, check three things: how many retouched photos are included, how long delivery takes, and what you pay on top.
Where to do your photoshoot
The three places I suggest most: the Trocadéro for the Eiffel Tower, ideally in the first hour after sunrise; Montmartre in the morning, for its stairs and café terraces; and Pont Alexandre III in the late afternoon. In one hour we stay in one of these areas, so no time is lost in the metro. Timing details are in my guide to the best places for a photo session in Paris.
Starting prices for other sessions
If you’re not coming alone: a couple session starts at €250, a family session at €250, a marriage proposal at €250, a pregnancy session at €350 and a pre or post-wedding session at €300. Everything is on my pricing page.
