Learn the art of street photography in the heart of Montmartre!





Description
Booking this photography tour with me will allow you to leave Paris having learned more than just basics of photography, be it with your camera or smartphone. I will make sure to teach you all about composition and technical aspects but as well, how to convey the storytelling behind your shots. Montmartre has inspired many artists around the globe so it makes a great neighbourhood to practice photography. Starting by the metro exit Abbesses, I will guide you through the streets, we will see nice little views on the rooftops, one beautiful Parisian cemetery, the famous Pigalle district with the Moulin Rouge... all the back streets of this photogenic little hill!

Clara was exceptional. I highly recommend this tour! My mom and I were on a mother-daughter trip, and we booked this tour because my mom is very passionate about photography. We only had our iPhones and so going into it, we were a bit unsure about what we could gain from the experience... and oh my.... within 5 minutes, Clara had taught us a few simple, quick, practical, and very artistic ways to enhance our street photography! We were blown away! In a city where there is magic and eye candy at every turn, we left feeling like we could actually capture it with our phones! Clara made it so empowering and fun and easy! It was hands on from the very beginning. My mother and I both learn best when we actually do something ourselves -- as oppose to only observing -- and Clara promoted and taught this way throughout the tour. Clara's skills and passion for photography were immediately obvious so we felt like we were in good hands; and she meet us at our skill level. Her presence is warm and inviting and she navigates the time and the streets with such a flow, we felt so taken care of. Time disappears, it's like she carries you in this creative time capsule. Clearly, we had a great tour. Oh... side note, in case it's helpful, we went at the 5pm tour in the summer and the lighting was simply incredible. Clara, thank you for being such a creative and meaningful memory for our very special trip. Cheers to all your talent as both a photographer and teacher. With gratitude, Amberlee & Barbara
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review. It really means a lot to know you felt this way throughout my session. It was a joy to walk around Montmartre with you and teach you everything you can do with your phones. Many many thanks once again and wish you the best photography trips!
My photography outing with Clara was wonderful! First, she is a talented photographer and an excellent teacher. I learned from her many new ways I can use my camera to take better pictures. Second, she has an intimate knowledge of the Montmartre neighborhood and suggests wonderful vantage points for photos. She tailored our outing to what I wanted to see and I could not have enjoyed it more. Finally, Clara is an interesting and kind person, which made our time together fun! Do yourself a favor and schedule a photography tour with Clara!
Thank you so much Lisa for having taken this session despite knowing the city yourself quite enough already. I was delighted to meet you, get to show you my personal experience of Montmartre and teach you all you can do with your phone. I'm really glad we braved the heat together, hope to see you again soon!
This was my fifth workshop with Clara. She has such a wonderful eye to catch special moments around Paris. I always learn something new regarding composition and come home with frameable photos. She's the best!
It is always such a joy to work with you Elizabeth. I thank you for your trust, kindness and loyalty! I'm looking forward to seeing the photos we took together on insta and hope to meet you again soon! Safest and happiest travels!
Clara really knows Paris and photography. She conveys the "tourist info", her aesthetic opinions and technical advice in a fun, easy going way. I learned much and really enjoyed our session.
Thank you so much Keith for your beautiful energy, warmth and kindness. It was lovely to work with you and I hope to welcome you again on another session!
Great photo session spent with Clara who is not only ultra skilled in her field but also extremely patient and kind:) She knows Paris as her pocket, adapts to the level / need / envy of all and makes us live a moment out of time! To do again absolutely, I loved:)))
Un énorme merci Perrine pour tes mots qui sont très touchants. J'ai été ravie de faire ta connaissance et de travailler avec toi. Ce serait une joie de faire une autre session avec toi dans un autre quartier de Paris. Hâte de découvrir les photos qu'on a prises ensemble en ligne!
Clara was absolutely amazing and incredibly knowledgeable about both photography and the city. She took us to some fantastic photo spots and guided us through the area effortlessly. From the start, she made us feel comfortable and welcome, creating a truly wonderful experience. As a seasoned photographer, I appreciated her insights, but it was especially meaningful to see how she interacted with my daughter, who is just beginning. Clara offered her a fresh perspective and encouragement that made a real impact. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Clara to anyone looking for a memorable and enriching experience. Thank you for welcoming us so warmly and sharing your expertise with such grace!
Thank you so much Melissa for sharing such a heartwarming and kind review. I had the best time with you and your daughter and seeing her open up to my suggestions was really gratifying. I'd be delighted to receive you both again another time. My best wishes to you and your family!
Clara is wonderful! I booked this workshop so my husband can hopefully learn to take nice photos of me on holidays! Success! We had a great time and took some great photos! We also learned about the area as we went. Clara is very knowledgeable and patient. We highly recommend her!
Thank you so much Ceara! It was a pleasure to meet you and David, get to show you around Montmartre and teach you everything you can do with your phones only. Cherry on top, all in french, so kudos to you! Merci beaucoup!
Had a great time with Clara exploring Montmartre with my iPhone camera. I had been on similar adventures with my Nikon, but this was the first time I've ever worked with someone using the iPhone. Clara was patient, explaining how to compose shots and working through the iPhone's features. She let me try things on my own before offering suggestions on how the shot might be improved by a change in setup or technique. It was a delightful, educational experience that left me eager to explore more of the city with the camera.
Thank you so much Eric. It was a pleasure to meet you and share my tips about composition with a smartphone. I’m happy we had such a lovely weather despite the cold. My best wishes for your future adventures!
This trip with Clara was honestly fantastic. I am a hobbyist with very minimal technical knowledge so Clara gave me the full “idiots guide to photography”. She has the best manner and teaching style and knows all the coolest, off-the-tourist-track places to compose the very best street scenes. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much Scott, I had a really lovely time talking with you and teaching you everything you can do with your camera while chasing the perfect street shot. Hope to see you again soon on another session!
My partner and I had a really enjoyable couple of hours on this street photography experience with Clara. Clara met us at a convenient location in Montmartre and started off the session by asking what it was we were looking to explore in the session and our levels of experience. She then guided us around several wonderful spots around the area and offered a wealth of technical advice and composition guidance as we went about taking photos. My partner and I came away with some brilliant new insight on taking photos and feel more confident with how to go about finding a good shot. Not only this but Clara was extremely good company for the two hours and was a really wonderful guide to Paris! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or this photography experience. We are hoping to bring our cameras when we visit Paris again to continue our studies!
Thank you so much Lucy for leaving such a great review. I had a great time showing you around and everything you could do with your smartphones. Really happy to have shown you that long exposure technique, the shots you'll be able to do with it will be perfect. We fought the cold! Hope to see you soon again with your cameras, we can easily go around another part of Paris together!
