Hi there! Nice to meet you

Paulette

After having lived in Asia for a decade, I moved back to Paris and turned my passion into a daily job capturing traveler's memories when visiting the City of Light. Besides my job, I love art, cultures, design, philosophy and I love telling stories about people or places.

Meeting up with Paulette was easy. I’m so glad we did this tour with her on our first full day in Montmartre. She encouraged me to spend time exploring angles and focus with my iPhone and entertained my artist, not photographer, husband at the same time. We learned about the area. We timed the walk such that we were able to take photos in three different lights which was great fun. Day, golden hour and night. I would have liked a bit more direction back to our starting point before she left us in front of Moulin Rouge.

I had the pleasure of taking a private photography tour with my wife, guided by the talented photographer and teacher, Paulette. As amateur photographers, we were grateful for Paulette's expertise and patience throughout the experience. She skillfully transformed us from novices to individuals with a solid grasp of camera usage. Our tour began with a delightful stroll through the enchanting streets of Montmartre, immersing ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere and capturing the essence of this artistic district. Paulette's insightful commentary enhanced our understanding of the area, adding depth to our photographs. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the opportunity to capture breathtaking shots of the Paris skyline. Paulette knew all the best vantage points and provided us with valuable tips and techniques to make the most of our shots. The resulting images were nothing short of amazing, showcasing the beauty of the city in all its glory. To conclude our tour, Paulette led us to the magnificent Sacré-Cœur. The combination of its architectural splendor and the golden hour lighting created a truly magical setting for our final photographs. It was a memorable ending to a truly exceptional photography experience. We highly recommend Paulette's private photography tour to anyone seeking to improve their skills while exploring the captivating streets of Montmartre. Her expertise, patience, and passion for photography made our tour not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable. We left with a newfound confidence in our abilities and a collection of stunning images that will forever remind us of our time in Paris.A Picture-Perfect Experience

Paulette is very friendly and competent. She initiated us into the depths of photography. She did this at our level. We were able to improve immediately and put into practice what we had learned. The tour was very nice. Exploring Paris with a local person was very fun. We can highly recommend Paulette. Paulette est très sympathique et compétente. Elle nous a initiés aux profondeurs de la photographie. Elle a fait ça à notre niveau. Nous avons pu nous améliorer immédiatement et mettre en pratique ce que nous avions appris. La visite était très agréable. Explorer Paris avec une personne locale était très amusant. Nous recommandons vivement Paulette.We had a perfect experience with Paulette

I spent a couple of days in Paris on my own before meeting my family and whilst looking through some activities I was particularly drawn to this experience due to my love for photography. I’m only a beginner but wanted to combine learning some more techniques with seeing some of the gorgeous areas of the city. Paulette was such a lovely host - we met in a lonely coffee shop on Montmartre and went though some of the basics and areas of focus and then spent the rest of morning taking pictures around Montmartre. She is super knowledgeable on Paris history and so I learnt a bit as we went along. I would totally recommend this experience to anyone who wants to make if their photography when in Paris. Thanks again Paulette:) Fabulous!

Many thanks Paulette for showing me all the great places to get (hopefully) great photos in Montmartre and for sharing your tips and examples, and also for the lovely gift. Now to get to the post-processing….(sigh)….an evening in Montmarte

We are photography novices. We didn’t know our f stops from our ISOs... and let’s not talk about white balance. Within and hour Paulette had guided us through the technical stuff so we could get the the creative side. Then Paulette showed us how to look at beautiful Montmartre scenes in a different and interesting way. Her skills are incredible. I’m so glad we were lucky enough to spend a great morning with the charming and knowledgeable Paulette.Wow... Paulette is amazing

In all fairness to Paulette, she was under the weather and probably should have rescheduled our time with her. She had a bad cold and I think it was hard touring us around and certainly our photo lessons would have been better. Paulette was very nice and did bring us a small journal for our travels. We thought that was a lovely gift! Paulette took us to some beautiful places and we did get some nice pics. We hope Paulette is feeling better!Nice visit to Montmartre
