Photo Session: The Portrait

Shooting-balades about photo sessions in Paris, dedicated entirely to portraits and your image during a lovely stroll through the heart of the capital. Whether for a personal or professional project, artistic or simply for fun, each portrait will be captured to highlight what makes you unique.

Whether you’re comfortable or a little shy in front of the camera, we’ll help you reveal your style and energy, whether to boost your personal image, your professional portfolio, or simply offer you an unforgettable session.

A personal portrait is more than just an image; it’s a reflection of your personality. Dare to step outside the traditional box for a portrait that reflects you, with your expressions, whether raw or stylish, your gaze, and your inspirations of the moment, which will form all the details for magnificent photos!

During a pre-appointment, we will choose one or more locations that match your tastes and, above all, where you will feel supported in developing your inspiration for unique and authentic portraits.

Photo shoots and portrait sessions will almost always be done in natural light, preferably during the summer months, during a themed or non-themed balade, in the capital, off the beaten track, or if you prefer, in front of iconic monuments. If you have a very bright apartment with large bay windows, the shoot can be considered at home.

The choice of outfits and colors will also be important in the style you give to your photos. Accessories such as hats, beanies, scarves, and gloves add a personalized touch to your shots and highlight your personality. No fixed poses, everything is fluid; we will guide you to reconnect with your image and your style, for a natural result that reflects you.

We also recommend a light application of makeup for a smoother finish and to enhance your face. For skin that shines in the sun, a mattifying powder is highly recommended.

Don’t wait any longer to treat yourself to this special moment!

Travel differently and develop your photographic eye

A photo trip off the beaten track to discover the oases and their inhabitants and allow you to take magnificent photos.

The tours are designed for all photographers, from beginners to advanced, who want to improve their travel photography skills.

You’ll photograph to the rhythm of the light, as the trip is totally adapted to your needs, whether early in the morning or in the evening at sunset, you’ll be in the right place at the right time to satisfy your photographic desires, in enchanting landscapes.

There will be time each day to review and comment on the images. A professional photographer and a certified Moroccan guide will accompany you throughout the trip.

Throughout your stay, you’ll be given technical advice on shooting, with the aim of familiarizing you with your camera’s manual mode and mastering it by the end of the trip (exposure metering, aperture/shutter speed, iso….).

The following photo themes will be addressed:

• Architecture (details, finding the right angle, Kasbahs, villages… etc)
• Medinas and street scenes (fast, unobtrusive shots)
• Landscapes (framing, photo composition, use of different focal lengths)
• Moods and lighting (interior, backlighting, chiaroscuro)
• Sunsets and magical skies
• We’d be delighted to hear about any other topics you’d like to discuss.

A walk that combines the discovery of sumptuous landscapes and encounters with local people, crafts, markets, souks, etc. You’ll be dazzled by the diversity and richness of Morocco.

At the end of the trip, you’ll have produced a series of photos, in reportage mode, expressing your sensibility, and you’ll have developed your photographic eye through previously unpublished shots. We can also help you produce a photo book on your return to France.
