Solo Portraits

Solo Portrait Photoshoot in Paris

You don’t need a reason, a partner, or a special occasion. You just need Paris, a great photographer, and the confidence to show up as yourself.

Main character energy

Paris is your backdrop. You're the story.

Solo travel is on the rise — and solo photoshoots are the best way to come home with images that actually look like you were there, not just your thumb and a cropped selfie. Our solo sessions are relaxed, empowering, and designed to make you feel incredible in front of the camera, even if you’ve never done a photoshoot before.

Who it's for

More Than a Selfie Upgrade

Solo Travellers

You've explored the world but your camera roll is full of landscapes and no you. A solo portrait session gives you stunning images of yourself in Paris — no more asking strangers or settling for timer shots.

Content Creators & Influencers

Need high-quality content for Instagram, TikTok, or your blog? We'll create a library of Paris-backdrop images — editorial, candid, and platform-ready — that stand out from phone photos.

Personal Branding & Headshots

A Paris backdrop elevates any professional portrait. Whether it's for LinkedIn, your website, or a book jacket — we create polished, natural-light headshots that feel authentic, not corporate.

Celebrating You

A divorce, a big birthday, a new chapter, an achievement — sometimes the occasion is simply being alive and in Paris. These sessions are a gift to yourself, and we treat them with the same care as any celebration.

Your session

What to Expect

We Handle the Directing

No experience needed. We guide you through every pose — where to stand, where to look, what to do with your hands. Within five minutes you’ll forget you’re in front of a camera. Our job is to make you look natural, not posed.

Gallery-Ready in 72 Hours

Every image is professionally edited — colour graded, retouched, and cleaned of distracting elements. Delivered to your private gallery in high resolution, ready to download, print, post, or frame.

A Mix of Styles

Every session includes a blend of editorial-style portraits, candid movement shots, and detail images. Walking, looking over your shoulder, sitting at a café, pausing at a viewpoint — variety is what makes a great gallery.

Where we shoot

Iconic Solo Portrait Locations

We’ll recommend a route based on the mood you’re going for — classic and dramatic, editorial and modern, or intimate and Parisian. Here are some of our top picks for solo sessions.

Tuileries Garden

The definitive "I was in Paris" shot. At sunrise, the esplanade is nearly empty and the Tower glows gold behind you. Iconic, powerful, and impossible to replicate with a phone.

Palais Royal

Striped columns, symmetrical arcades, and fashion-editorial energy. This is where Paris meets Vogue — and it's one of the best spots in the city for striking solo portraits with geometric lines and clean backgrounds.

Montmartre

Cobblestone streets, pastel facades, and a bohemian atmosphere. Perfect for a more relaxed, candid feel — walking, stopping at a café, leaning against a wall. Montmartre makes everyone look effortlessly cool.

Bir-Hakeim Bridge

Iron arches and cinematic depth. A solo walk across this bridge produces some of the most dynamic, film-like portrait images — especially at sunrise when the light cuts through the metalwork.

Louvre & Tuileries

The glass pyramid for a modern, editorial mood. The Tuileries gardens for something softer and more natural. Together, they offer two distinct aesthetics in one compact area — great for variety.

Le Marais

Trendy, colourful, and very Instagram. Narrow streets, vintage shop fronts, art galleries, and the best café terraces in Paris. Ideal for content creators who want lifestyle-style images with Parisian character.

Preparation

Tips for Your Solo Session

Don't Worry About Posing

Seriously. We'll direct you through everything. Walk, pause, look left, look down, laugh — it's all prompts, not poses. The best solo portraits come from movement and small natural moments, not standing still.

Bring 2–3 Outfits If You Can

Solo sessions are the easiest to incorporate outfit changes — no one else to coordinate with. A statement piece, something casual, and a bold accessory can give you three completely different looks from one session. The 90-minute package gives you time for this.

Think About How You'll Use the Photos

Instagram grid? LinkedIn? A printed portrait for your wall? Let us know and we'll adjust the style — more candid and lifestyle for social media, more polished and composed for professional or print use.

Book a Personal Assistant for Outfit Changes

If you're changing outfits between locations, our personal assistant add-on is invaluable — they carry your bags, hold accessories, and keep everything organised so you can focus on the session.

Common questions

Solo Portrait FAQ

I've never done a solo photoshoot — is it awkward?

It feels that way for about two minutes. Then you get into the rhythm of it and realise you're just walking around Paris while someone captures you looking great. We give you constant direction — where to look, how to move, when to pause — so you never have that "what do I do with my hands" moment.

Can I use these photos for my business or social media?

Absolutely — all images are yours to use however you like, including commercially. Whether it's Instagram content, a LinkedIn headshot, your website, or a book cover, you have full usage rights. Let us know the intended use beforehand so we can optimise framing and style.

How many outfit changes can I do?

In a 30-minute session, one outfit works best — it keeps the flow smooth. At 45 minutes, you can comfortably do one change. The 90-minute and 2-hour sessions allow 2–3 outfit changes, especially if you book a personal assistant to carry your things between spots.

I'm not photogenic — will this still work?

There's no such thing as "not photogenic" — there are just bad angles and bad lighting. That's exactly what we fix. We know how to use natural light, body positioning, and gentle movement to make everyone look their best. You'll be surprised by the results, and most of our solo clients say it's the best they've ever looked in photos.

Can a friend join for part of the session?

Of course — all packages include up to 5 people. If you want mostly solo portraits but would like a few shots with a friend or travel companion, that's easy to work into the session. Just let us know ahead of time so we can plan the timing.

What if it rains?

Overcast skies produce some of the most flattering portrait light — soft, even, and glowing. If it's light rain, we can lean into the mood with moody Parisian streets. For heavy rain, we'll work with you to reschedule or adapt to covered locations like arcades and passages. Just reach out at least 48 hours ahead.
