Paris doesn’t ask anything of you. You don’t have to be a tourist, an expert, or an art lover. All you have to do is look. Along the Bassin de la Villette, people sit with nowhere to go. In the alleys of Belleville, laundry hangs out to dry and music drifts from open windows. At Père-Lachaise, someone walks their dog, as if it were just a park. That is the real Paris, and that is exactly what we are going to photograph.
For two days, we’ll explore neighborhoods you won’t find on postcards. From the covered arcades around the Palais Royal to the hill of Montmartre, from the gritty Belleville to the cool shade of the Sacré-Cœur. I’ll show you how to navigate a city as a photographer—how to choose your moments, how to wait, how to take risks. You’ll go home with photos you’re proud of. And with a new way of seeing that will stay with you forever.
