As you may know, in terms of photography : light is the most important thing to get a good result. So, the best light for photography in general is at sunrise or sunset, what we called the “golden hour”.
For our Parisian photoshoots, we distinguish three popular starting times : sunrise shoots, late morning shoots and night photo sessions.
1) Sunrise shoot
In Paris, the sunrise varies depending on the season : in the summer it is around 5:45AM whereas in the winter it can be as late as 9:00AM. No worries, we’ll check together the precise sunrise time for your travel dates in order to have the best photoshoot.
Which are the benefits of a sunrise shoot ?
At sunrise, you get the most flattering light and there arealmost no people around which is very important because Paris is one of the most visited citiesand people love to organize their events and weddings in France. It just feels like you have rented the city out for yourself.
Which are the drawbacks ?
Even if you’re a morning person, it’s not always easy to wake up very early to get ready for a photo shoot !
2) Late morning
If you’re a late riser wishes to take its pictures later in the morning, this is the perfect time for you as those photo sessions are scheduled around 9AM-10AM.
Which are the benefits of a late morning shoot ?
The sun is already high which gives the pictures a bright and airy feel.
Which are the drawbacks ?
In late morning, the main issue is that there are already people around. So, not all the best locations will be available to take photos.
3) Night
Paris, the City of Light, is so magical at night ! Night photoshoots typically start at sunset around 5:00PM in the winter and 10:30PM in the summer. Once again, no worries, we’ll check together the precise sunrise time for your travel dates in order to have the best photoshoot.
Which are the benefits of night photoshoot in Paris ?
Photos of a city that looks magical at night and gives to your picture a real romantic effect.
Which are the drawbacks of night photoshoot in Paris ?
Those night photoshoots require an associate that helps with lights. So, they are more expensive. Then, the light set-up takes time, meaning that we take less and more posed photos in the evening.
