One Hour With a Paris Photographer: Your Best Shots at Trocadero

You spend an hour with a professional photographer at Paris's two most photogenic locations, Trocadero and the Eiffel Tower.

No photography experience needed, and the fixed hour means you keep the rest of your day free.

Step-by-step itinerary

Private photoshoot at Paris landmarks

• Meet professional photographer Mike
• Pose for pictures at Trocadero square
• Take photos around the Eiffel Tower

The experience

Mike stops you mid-stride near the Trocadero steps and points to the light hitting the Seine. "This angle (right here, right now) that's the one." He's been shooting in Paris for years, and it shows in the way he reads the crowd, the shadows, the moment before it passes. A private photoshoot in Paris usually means standing around while someone fiddles with settings. This one is different because Mike knows exactly where to position you and when to shoot, so you're not waiting, you're moving. The session lasts an hour, and you spend most of it at Trocadero and around the Eiffel Tower: the two places that actually photograph well, not the tourist traps that look flat in every picture you've ever seen.

You don't need to know anything about cameras or posing. Mike directs you naturally, where to stand, how to angle toward the light, when to look at the tower versus at him. He's shooting the whole time, catching the moments between the posed shots, which is usually where the real pictures live. The Eiffel Tower has dozens of angles, and he knows which ones work depending on the time of day and the weather. Trocadero is his favorite, and once you're there you understand why. The framing is almost impossible to get wrong, and the light changes every few minutes if you're paying attention.

After the session ends, Mike sends you 30 to 40 edited pictures within a few days. They're color-corrected, cropped, the whole thing, not raw files you have to figure out yourself. You get the digital files, so you can print them, share them, use them however you want. Public transportation is close by if you need to get back to your hotel or to another part of Paris, and the whole thing is designed so you're not exhausted afterward. It's a photoshoot, not a hike.
