Paris: Eiffel Tower Photo Shoot with Local Photographer

Summary

Paris eiffel tower photo shoot with relaxed local guide

You’ll meet your photographer by the Eiffel Tower for a relaxed photo shoot—no awkward poses required. Wander through classic Parisian spots while your local guide snaps real moments. Photos arrive quickly to your device so you can relive those laughs (and maybe that pigeon incident) long after you leave Paris.

What’s the experience like?

First thing I noticed—there’s this faint smell of roasted chestnuts drifting over from a nearby vendor, and I’m standing just outside the Cité de l’architecture, trying not to look too nervous. Our photographer, Camille, waves us over with this easy grin and suddenly it feels less like an appointment and more like meeting a friend who actually knows how to use a camera (unlike me). She gives us a quick rundown—nothing stiff, just “walk, laugh, do your thing.” The Eiffel Tower looms in the background but somehow doesn’t steal the show.

We wander through little pockets around the tower—somewhere between cobblestone and grass, shoes clicking or sinking depending where you step. Camille suggests a few poses but mostly catches us mid-laugh or when my partner tries (and fails) to pronounce “Trocadéro” properly. There’s this moment where pigeons scatter right as she snaps, and honestly, that photo turned out better than anything we planned. The whole time, people are passing by—tourists with selfie sticks, locals on bikes—and it all just folds into the background noise of Paris.

I didn’t expect to feel so at ease in front of a camera. Maybe it’s because Camille keeps chatting about her favorite bakery nearby or because she shows us previews on her camera and they actually look... well, like us. Not posed or weirdly perfect. By the end I’m kind of sad it’s over, even though my cheeks hurt from smiling so much. We got our photos later that day—faster than I thought—and every time I see them now, I remember how light the air felt and that silly pigeon moment. That’s what stuck with me.
