Pont de Bir-Hakeim
One of the most versatile locations for a photoshoot near the Eiffel Tower. Unlike the busy Trocadéro square, this spot is less crowded and not as widely known, yet the view of the tower from here is absolutely stunning.
The bridge also offers a wide variety of angles and perspectives, making it easy to spend an entire hour shooting here and come away with a rich, diverse set of images that tell a complete visual story.
Avenue de Camoëns
A classic Paris postcard view of the Eiffel Tower. This location became incredibly popular thanks to social media, so it’s best to come early in the morning before the crowds arrive. It works especially well at sunrise or on cloudy days, when the soft, diffused light keeps the image calm and balanced, without harsh contrasts.
Rue Saint-Dominique
One of the most recognizable streets from social media as well. It offers a view of the Eiffel Tower framed by classic Parisian façades and a lively city atmosphere.
The light here is flattering in almost any weather, and a big advantage is the few charming cafés nearby. It’s easy to incorporate a relaxed breakfast into the shoot and capture natural moments with a cup of coffee in hand.
Palais Galliera
The city’s fashion museum, surrounded by classic columns, Haussmannian architecture, and a view of the Eiffel Tower. The setting naturally creates more restrained, architectural images, which is why I especially like coming here for couple and portrait sessions.
The museum building is also surrounded by a small park, so it’s easy to combine the structured architectural backdrop with a bit of greenery in the frame during the same shoot.
Louvre
The museum building and the square in front of it offer a wide variety of shooting angles, and it’s a location that works well at almost any time of day.
The architectural backdrop keeps the images clean and crisp: strong lines, symmetry, and light-colored stone. It works equally well for a relaxed family session in everyday outfits or for a special wedding day with more elegant, formal looks.
Tuileries garden
A versatile location for a photoshoot at any time of day and for almost any occasion. The park has many areas with different moods, and it’s easy to plan a route so that each photograph carries that distinctive sense of Parisian elegance.
Palais Royal
My favorite location in the city. What makes this place so special is the rare combination of striking architecture and the intimate atmosphere of a French garden. The space allows for a lot of variety, so even during a longer session the images never feel repetitive — in any weather or lighting.
Luxembourg garden
The classic charm of a French city garden. The Luxembourg Gardens are especially beautiful in the morning, before Parisians gather here during their lunch break for a walk or a moment of rest.
It’s easy to feel the calm, almost home-like rhythm of the city here: sitting on the famous green chairs with a book, hiding from the sun near the Medici Fountain, or strolling along the main alleys lined with carefully arranged flowerbeds.
Saint Sulpice & Saint-Germain-des-Prés
Cozy narrow streets in one of the most artistic neighborhoods of Paris. The area around Saint-Germain-des-Prés is filled with the atmosphere of the historic Left Bank — galleries, bookshops, and small cafés on nearly every corner.
This neighborhood reflects a more refined and elegant side of Paris on the Left Bank of the Seine — calm, intellectual, and wonderfully cinematic.
Place Dauphine
A hidden gem of the historic city, tucked away from the eyes of passing crowds. This small triangular square on the Île de la Cité preserves the atmosphere of old Paris — quiet, intimate, and slightly removed from the bustle around it.
Classic Parisian architecture, elegant facades, and a calm open space that is surprisingly rare in the very center of the city. At the same time, the square is just a few steps from Notre-Dame and the banks of the Seine. It works beautifully for photoshoots at almost any time of day.
Île Saint-Louis & Pont Neuf
One of my favorite locations in the city. Here, Paris feels especially cinematic: long perspectives of bridges, stone riverbanks, and open views over the Seine.
From different points along the island you can frame beautiful views of Notre-Dame and the Panthéon, and a walk along the river makes it easy to change the background and the mood of the photos.
Rodin museum
A wonderful option if you’d like photos in a classic Parisian interior. Tall windows, soft natural light, and the calm elegance of the museum’s architecture create a refined setting for portraits.
To avoid the flow of visitors, it’s best to arrive right at opening time, around 10 a.m. After shooting inside, it’s easy to continue in the museum garden that surrounds the mansion, where the atmosphere changes completely — more space, greenery, and sculptures.
Le Marais
One of the most atmospheric neighborhoods in Paris for a photoshoot. In the Marais, it’s easy to spend an entire session simply walking through the area: narrow streets, historic facades, hidden squares, and quiet courtyards.
This is also where you’ll find Place des Vosges, a favorite among Parisians and one of the most beautiful squares in the city, with elegant arcades and a perfectly kept garden in the center.
The neighborhood works well throughout the day: the architecture creates beautiful patterns of light and shadow, and the variety of streets allows us to constantly change the background and the mood of the images.
Montmartre
A world of its own within Paris, with a very distinct atmosphere and rhythm. The hill of Montmartre, with its narrow streets, staircases, and historic houses, has always attracted artists and remains one of the most picturesque areas of the city.
The best time for a photoshoot here is early morning. Before the hill fills with tourists, the streets are still quiet, and from the top you can enjoy a beautiful sunrise view over the city.
Parisian cafés
Sometimes the most natural photos appear during a small pause. Stopping at a café terrace, ordering a glass of wine or a coffee, and taking a moment to feel like a true Parisian — these moments always look effortless and authentic in photographs.
This kind of stop can easily be included in almost any walking photoshoot around the city. The only small detail is that not every café allows photography, so if you like this idea, let me know in advance and I’ll suggest places where it can be done comfortably.
Your hotel room
If you are staying in a beautiful boutique hotel or a charming apartment, we can always start the photoshoot there. These images often feel very personal and help preserve the memory of the trip itself.
Many Parisian hotels are wonderfully photogenic: tall windows, balconies, and soft morning light. In most cases, hotels don’t mind photos as long as the session takes place inside the room and does not disturb other guests.
