The backdrops to expect
Workshop Itinerary 8th July 2025
​
A full day of refined editorial scenes across the heart of Paris. From sculptural light to layered architecture, every location is chosen for mood, framing, and motion.
We move slowly, shoot with intention, and pause often. Everything is walkable. Sparkle finale optional.
​
Morning
9:00 AM – Louvre Arches
We begin beneath the arches at the Louvre. Clean lines, symmetry, and soft light start the day with structure and elegance.
​
9:45 AM – Palais Royal Gardens
Columns, shade, and space for relaxed couple interaction and fashion-inspired frames.
​
10:45 AM – Square Rapp
A quiet corner of Paris with Eiffel Tower views framed by Art Nouveau buildings. Subtle and refined.
​
Midday Break
12:15 PM – Unstyled café pause
We take a breather near the Eiffel. Space to reset, refuel, and quietly reset the visual tempo. Nothing posed, but cameras can stay on if something unfolds naturally.
​
Afternoon
1:30 PM – Pont Neuf & Square du Vert-Galant
Stone textures, leafy edges, and movement by the Seine. Candid, lifestyle-style couple work.
​
3:00 PM – Accommodation break
Time to recharge and prep for your next look.
​
5:30 PM – Pont Alexandre III
Grand architecture, golden statues, and long bridge lines. Strong editorial energy here.
​
7:30 PM – Pont de Bir-Hakeim
Golden hour warmth and architectural drama. Final structured shoot of the day.
​
Optional Finale
9:30 PM – Trocadéro Sparkle Shoot
To close the day, we’ll capture the Eiffel Tower as it begins to sparkle after dark. The light show starts each hour and lasts five minutes. This final scene is styled and structured like the others but takes place later to make the most of the atmosphere and night light.
Staying for this is optional, but the results are always worth it.
Travel & Accommodation recomendations
​
We’ll be starting early, so we recommend arriving in Paris the day before. Most attendees travel solo, and we’ve found some budget-friendly hotel options in well-located areas with easy access to our shoot route. Expect compact but clean rooms with good transport links and safe surroundings.
​
Suggested accommodation
We are booked at Hotel Nation Montmartre, 4 Rue Boissieu, 18th arr, 75018 Paris, France
Staying nearby will make for an easy meeting point and sharing transport easier.
All are within 5 minutes of our start point by metro or Uber. You can also use Bolt as a cheaper alternative. Both apps work reliably in Paris.
​
Budget
From around €100 per night for a private room. You are free to stay wherever suits, but if you need help picking a location just drop us a message.
​
Nearest airport
Fly into Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly (ORY). Both have direct train or taxi options into the city. Expect a 30 to 60 minute transfer depending on time of day and method.
Meet the Models
We’ll be working with Connor and Jessica, a real couple whose chemistry brings every frame to life. Their natural connection and experience in front of the camera will elevate your shots and give you the chance to direct real emotion, not just poses.
