Paris photoshoot

A solo Paris photoshoot: one hour, one neighbourhood, and photos of yourself that don’t look like a selfie held at arm’s length.
You’re here for a few days, you’ve just moved, you’re building a professional image, or you simply want good photos of yourself in this city. The session works in all of those cases, because it starts from you rather than from a fixed backdrop.
You don’t need to know how to pose. I give you something simple to do: where to walk, where to look, when to stop. Then I photograph what happens, a movement of hair, a glance, a pause outside a café.
We choose the spot together: the Trocadéro for the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre for the stairs and the morning light, Pont Alexandre III and the Seine for the gilded bridge in the evening light. Even in front of the Eiffel Tower, the result is closer to an editorial series than to a postcard.

Frequently asked

I’m uncomfortable in front of a camera.

Almost everyone is, at first. We walk, I give you things to do rather than poses to hold, and it wears off fast.

Will we get the photos before we fly home?

Usually yes: delivery is within five days, and a preview goes out the next day.

Can I bring someone along?

The base rate is built for one person, but mention it at booking if there’ll be two of you and I’ll adjust.

Where are the best spots for a photoshoot in Paris?

For the Eiffel Tower, the Trocadéro, ideally at sunrise before the crowds (the sunrise session is included). Montmartre is best in the morning, on the stairs and the quiet streets. Pont Alexandre III and the Seine look their best in the evening light. In one hour we stay in one of these areas. Spots and times are detailed in this guide to the best photo spots in Paris.

How much does a Paris photoshoot cost?

From €200 for one hour in one neighbourhood with 15 retouched photos, or from €350 for two hours, two neighbourhoods and 30 photos. Delivery is within 5 days. A €100 booking deposit (arrhes) secures your date, and the balance is paid after the session. The full breakdown is in this article on how much a photoshoot in Paris costs.

What language is the session in?

English, French or Turkish.

Can we do the session at sunrise?

Yes, and it’s included. It’s the best time for the Eiffel Tower from Trocadéro, before the crowds.

How does the hour go?

We walk through one neighbourhood, I give you simple direction (where to walk, where to look, when to stop) and photograph what happens. The full run is in this article on the one-hour Paris session.

What if it rains?

Changing the date is free: we move the session to another day.
