A NIGHT PHOTO SHOOT IN PARIS

If you’ve ever wandered around Paris at night, you can see why it’s called the City of Light. The sparkling Eiffel Tower, the glowing monuments and the luminous boulevards are beautiful during the day but have a little extra magic at night. That’s why night photo shoots in Paris are so popular, and I recommend them for engagement sessions, couples sessions and even solo lifestyle sessions.

I’ve created a special photo shoot that I like to call (surprise, surprise) “Paris by Night”, which adds a little extra creativity and Parisian je ne sais quoi to the photos. Inspired by classic black and white images from a bygone era (think Cartier-Bresson, Brassaï and Avedon), this session is shot only in black and white, with a film look that leaves a lasting impression.

a few more details aboutPARIS BY NIGHT SESSIONS

What makes these sessions different from my regular photo shoots? If you look at the rest of my portfolio, my sessions are always during the day, with a light, romantic feel. I love the fine art style, which emulates classic film, so I created this night series with a similar feel and some extra drama.

Since these photos are taken at night, you’ll see glimpses of famous monuments in the background, but not in their entirety the way you would during the day. You’ll see movement, artistic blur and that old-school grain that channels old-world glam.

Kind words

“She beautifully captured my fiancé and me”

Elizaveta did an incredible job, I highly recommend her work. She beautifully captured my fiance and me, and she was very professional. We had so much fun during the shoot, and she had fabulous direction and recommendations for where to take the photos.

MY STYLE

As a photographer in Paris, I’m continuously inspired by this gorgeous city. I love capturing movement, emotion and authenticity in my photo sessions, and the “Paris by Night” shoots are no different. The sparkling Eiffel Tower makes a stunning backdrop, but it never overpowers the main subject: you.

night photos orDAYTIME PHOTOS?

If you’re wondering what kind of session is right for you, here are a few things to consider. Have you had photos taken in Paris before? Do you want to see all the details of the famous sites in your photos? Do you want photos with small children or large groups, or photos in color? Then a daytime photo shoot is for you.

Do you know Paris like the back of your hand and want a different kind of photo shoot? Something more creative, artistic and unique? Then a night photo session is what you need!

STILL CAN’T DECIDE?

If you’re still unsure, the good news is that you don’t have to choose. We can organize a photo shoot during the day and another at night. That means more locations, more outfits and more fun!

THE DETAILS

Location

Even at night, we can find beautiful light by going to locations with a great backdrop. The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Opéra and Montmartre are a few places that are perfect for your session.

For a longer session, we can include outfit changes and a few extra locations like Pont Alexandre III, Montmartre, the Luxembourg Gardens, the Marais or any other place that interests you.

Hair & makeup

This is your chance to pamper yourself and be a bit more daring. A night session makes it easy to pull off a more dramatic makeup look. I can recommend several English-speaking hair and makeup artists who are experts at creating a variety of looks that are always photogenic.

Wardrobe

You can experiment with your look during this session. Wear a glamorous gown, a slinky sequined dress or leather pants! You’re in Paris after all, so why not step up your fashion game and pull out all the stops.

These shoots are most popular in the fall, winter and early spring, since the days are short. That means the temperature will drop during our shoot, so I recommend bringing a chic jacket that you don’t mind wearing in your photos.
