Small-Group Paris Night Photography Tour

Learn how to photograph Paris’ enchanting nighttime sites, on a 2.5-hour small-group photography tour. Taking in classic camera-clicking sights around the Louvre and Cour Napoleon, the tour is led by an expert photographer, passionate and knowledgeable about Paris and digital art. Learn how to tackle nighttime issues like 'digital noise' to capture incredible photos of Paris at twilight and under an inky-dark sky. Tripods are not necessary; all that’s needed is a digital camera and a creative eye!

Numbers are limited to four people on this small-group tour, ensuring personalized attention from a guide.

With your own digital camera in hand, meet the professional photographer guide by the Louvre Museum and then set off for your night photography tour. Before jumping straight into the soon-to-be essential techniques, your guide will discuss your digital camera with you, showing you how to get the best of its different settings.

Then, set off on a leisurely-paced stroll beginning in the Louvre courtyard (Cour Napoléon), mastering the secrets to taking beautiful nighttime photography. Learn how to block 'digital noise' – the term given to grainy, pixelated images – and experiment with shots against street lights to create special effects. Tackle issues like blurring and shaking to perfect your Parisian photographic memories, discovering little-known tips from a learning method called BLAAST©. Hear of the legendary 'blue hour' when the evening light takes on a strong blue tone, learning to master photos during this magical twilight time.

Your tour will focus on the Cour Napoléon within the grounds of the Louvre Museum, one of Paris' most iconic sights. Capture the intricasies of the architecture as night falls, and learn how to take the very best shots of the famous glass pyramid in the middle of the courtyard.

After 2.5 hours of photographing the exquisite architecture belonging to Paris' most beautiful former royal residence, your tour will end in the Louvre courtyard. Unlike standard sightseeing tours, you will walk away with some special keepsakes: your own (well-shot) photos of Paris’ handsome nighttime scenery.
