the city of light!
JULY 13-17, 2026
Bonjour Mesdames et Messieurs, I lived in Paris my whole life and I have been taking photos of the most beautiful city in the world for many years.
This is more than just a workshop, it is also a way to discover another culture, amazing food, and the Parisians! I am very excited for this workshop, and I am sure it will be incredible memories for you!
Each ticket includes boarding in a four-star hotel and fine dining each night in the City of Light!
This workshop will only have a limited number of participants. I really want to keep a small group so you can enjoy this experience to the fullest!
- Serge

- Your camera,
- Sturdy tripod
- Extra batteries and memory cards
- a wireless remote or cable release,
- a wide-angle lens (24mm or wider),
- a telephoto lens,
- a ND filter (10-stops or higher) for long exposures,
- a laptop with Lightroom or Photoshop (or both) for the post-processing.
Now that we have covered the technical part, let’s go over what to wear.
July in Paris is warm, so opt for lightweight, breathable clothing that keeps you cool during long hours outdoors. Choose comfortable shoes for walking and standing — Paris streets are beautiful but often uneven. Since photography involves movement (crouching, stretching, kneeling), wear clothes that let you move freely.
Be ready for an adventure as you capture Paris and Mont-Saint-Michel! Rubber boots will come in handy for rainy days that may occur.
I accept all level of experience in photography, but just make sure you have the gear needed; otherwise it will be no fun for you. If you are missing a lens or a ND filter don’t worry about it!
You can bring a person with you in the trip but they will need to cover the fees of the meals and transport which is rounded up to $1,500. Make sure to notify our team you will bring a +1 as soon as you book your seat so the hotels and transportation can be accommodated for it.
