What to expect
You'll meet at Abbesses Metro and move at a walking pace through the neighbourhood, pausing frequently to discuss sight lines, light quality, and how to tell stories through your lens. Your guide points out angles—a weathered doorway, café shadows, architectural details—and explains why they work photographically. Expect practical talk about exposure compensation, focus techniques, and when to break composition "rules". The route takes in the cemetery's quiet monuments and Pigalle's busier streets, offering varied subjects and lighting conditions. This isn't a lecture; it's a working session where you shoot, get critique, and adjust.
Good to know
Bring your own camera or smartphone with a charged battery. Comfortable walking shoes essential—you'll cover uneven cobblestones. The tour is accessible to most fitness levels but involves steady hill walking. Service animals welcome. Public transport surrounds the area.
