Segolene & Walid, Localgrapher in Paris

Style:

We think even the shortest stay in Paris deserves the most professional pictures. We like to challenge ordinary touristic pictures and give an authentic Parisian vibe to our photos, using even the most famous landmarks as a backdrop. Most importantly, we build our pictures with the people we photograph, always open to exchange of ideas but also ready to direct the posing if needed.

With two set of eyes and mixed cultures, we offer multiplied sensibilities, twice as many angles and better lighting but we know the most beautiful pictures will be the ones that capture what truly defines you!

Likes:

Walking, walking, walking…until our feet fall off! We love walking in the city to uncover it’s hidden treasures, (re)discover it’s well known gems, feel it’s authentic vibe, get a glimpse (or more) of it’s narratives.

We love the unexpected, the little spark that sweeps you off your feet and brings on a new unplanned twist of plot and challenges our day.

We love the Human being in all it’s diversity, and we are always eager to learn more about different cultures.

Recommended places:

The Louvre area is one of our favorite: blend of classic and modern, geometrical lines and curbed arcades, it offers numerous options for lifestyle photography and beautiful leading lines to magnify your portraits. The famous Pont des Arts and the Seine are only two steps away!

The Tour Eiffel and the Bir Hakeim Bridge: overlooked by the Parisian crowd, there are some really nice spots around which offer a glimpse of the typical Parisian architecture with the famous Tower in the background. We also like to get close ups of the Tour Eiffel as the iron beams and plates give a nice depth to portraits.

Montmartre neighborhood: we love the hilly cobble stoned streets, the dramatic staircases and lampposts, the curbed streets, the village vibe and of course the breathtaking view of Paris. No wonder Montmartre as hosted so many artists through history!
