Working with Clara was an absolute treat! The gift of her knowledge and willingness to listen to my own aspirations will help so much in crystallizing my photographic vision. The technical skills she afforded me will completely change the way I use my cameras going forward. As such, I am quite excited about using these skills to greatly improve my output. Her feedback has been very constructive and nonjudgmental which ultimately is an absolute inspiration! Working with Clara is exactly what I needed and I would highly recommend that you seek out her services.

I participated in several photowalks in the past but this one was one of the best I had! Clara was on time to the appointment. She is easy going. I felt comfortable sharing with her my previous experience in photography and what I wanted from the workshop. She was always attentive to the scenes happening around us and was giving me tips on how to improve my composition and what settings to use. I was able to practice many aspects of street photography like panning, slow shutter or seeking colors while telling a story. I would recommend anyone who is into photography whether beginner or enthusiastic to take this photowalk! :)
If you are passionate about street photography and you're looking for guidance to further that passion for photography this class is for you. Having the opportunity to walk through Paris and get on the spot guidance while walking the streets was absolutely the best experience for myself. Being able to ask questions about composition, exposure, framing, and most importantly getting feedback photos was invaluable. Additionally aside from photography having the opportunity share experiences and stories with Clara while taking photos made my time spent with her memorable. Highly recommend this for photographers of all ranges and passions as I'll be taking it again when I return to Paris.

Clara is a wonderful photography guide. She found beautiful venues for us, and had great suggestions for taking pictures with our phones and cameras. My husband and I leaned a lot and had a lot of fun too. It was a delightful experience that I highly recommend for a Paris trip. We plan on doing it again next time we visit.
I had tried to do a review before but it's never too late. Clara was outstanding and very accommodating. She took me to places where I could get iconic photos all over Paris. Wonderful experience and would book with Clara again in a second. Total professional.
Clara provided me with the best street photography experience ever. Guided photo walks can be a sum of many factors working together , but Clara scored highest in all aspects. Punctual, friendly, personal, and in excellent artistic and technical command of the area and the equipment. We captured both “decisive moments” , as well as performed static technical exercises. Throughout the session Clara gave me a sense of care with a non-commercial approach, that helped me ease and immerse better. Kudos to Clara, and a big thanks. I wish I had more days in Paris, and I unrestrictedly recommend a session with her!
Clara was exceptional. I highly recommend this tour! My mom and I were on a mother-daughter trip, and we booked this tour because my mom is very passionate about photography. We only had our iPhones and so going into it, we were a bit unsure about what we could gain from the experience... and oh my.... within 5 minutes, Clara had taught us a few simple, quick, practical, and very artistic ways to enhance our street photography! We were blown away! In a city where there is magic and eye candy at every turn, we left feeling like we could actually capture it with our phones! Clara made it so empowering and fun and easy! It was hands on from the very beginning. My mother and I both learn best when we actually do something ourselves -- as oppose to only observing -- and Clara promoted and taught this way throughout the tour. Clara's skills and passion for photography were immediately obvious so we felt like we were in good hands; and she meet us at our skill level. Her presence is warm and inviting and she navigates the time and the streets with such a flow, we felt so taken care of. Time disappears, it's like she carries you in this creative time capsule. Clearly, we had a great tour. Oh... side note, in case it's helpful, we went at the 5pm tour in the summer and the lighting was simply incredible. Clara, thank you for being such a creative and meaningful memory for our very special trip. Cheers to all your talent as both a photographer and teacher. With gratitude, Amberlee & Barbara
My photography outing with Clara was wonderful! First, she is a talented photographer and an excellent teacher. I learned from her many new ways I can use my camera to take better pictures. Second, she has an intimate knowledge of the Montmartre neighborhood and suggests wonderful vantage points for photos. She tailored our outing to what I wanted to see and I could not have enjoyed it more. Finally, Clara is an interesting and kind person, which made our time together fun! Do yourself a favor and schedule a photography tour with Clara!
This was my fifth workshop with Clara. She has such a wonderful eye to catch special moments around Paris. I always learn something new regarding composition and come home with frameable photos. She's the best!
Clara really knows Paris and photography. She conveys the "tourist info", her aesthetic opinions and technical advice in a fun, easy going way. I learned much and really enjoyed our session.
Clara was absolutely amazing and incredibly knowledgeable about both photography and the city. She took us to some fantastic photo spots and guided us through the area effortlessly. From the start, she made us feel comfortable and welcome, creating a truly wonderful experience. As a seasoned photographer, I appreciated her insights, but it was especially meaningful to see how she interacted with my daughter, who is just beginning. Clara offered her a fresh perspective and encouragement that made a real impact. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Clara to anyone looking for a memorable and enriching experience. Thank you for welcoming us so warmly and sharing your expertise with such grace!
Clara is wonderful! I booked this workshop so my husband can hopefully learn to take nice photos of me on holidays! Success! We had a great time and took some great photos! We also learned about the area as we went. Clara is very knowledgeable and patient. We highly recommend her!
Had a great time with Clara exploring Montmartre with my iPhone camera. I had been on similar adventures with my Nikon, but this was the first time I've ever worked with someone using the iPhone. Clara was patient, explaining how to compose shots and working through the iPhone's features. She let me try things on my own before offering suggestions on how the shot might be improved by a change in setup or technique. It was a delightful, educational experience that left me eager to explore more of the city with the camera.
This trip with Clara was honestly fantastic. I am a hobbyist with very minimal technical knowledge so Clara gave me the full “idiots guide to photography”. She has the best manner and teaching style and knows all the coolest, off-the-tourist-track places to compose the very best street scenes. Would highly recommend.
My partner and I had a really enjoyable couple of hours on this street photography experience with Clara. Clara met us at a convenient location in Montmartre and started off the session by asking what it was we were looking to explore in the session and our levels of experience. She then guided us around several wonderful spots around the area and offered a wealth of technical advice and composition guidance as we went about taking photos. My partner and I came away with some brilliant new insight on taking photos and feel more confident with how to go about finding a good shot. Not only this but Clara was extremely good company for the two hours and was a really wonderful guide to Paris! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or this photography experience. We are hoping to bring our cameras when we visit Paris again to continue our studies!
Street photography was something I wanted to try in the past. However I was always concerned how people would react to having their image taken. Going out with Clara has probably changed that and I look forward to going solo as it were! It was raining heavily as we began, taking shelter to discuss what my aim was to achieve in the session. The rain stopped after 20 minutes or so, this and the darkening evening with street lighting allowed for potentially more interesting shots. Clara clearly has knowledge and experience as a photographer, she encouraged me to try different settings on my camera and importantly to look for that image, and to consider how to capture it, from the front, side, low or high up etc I think I managed to capture good images to work on. The session was relaxing despite the rain, Clara allowed for questions from myself and make suggestions when I felt challenged by a particular shot. She reviewed my images giving constructive feedback. I would recommend Clara 100% to anyone who wants to begin ir commence their journey in street photography. Clara gave me the confidence to approach someone and ask if I could take their portrait. They agreed.
I had a great time doing the street photography experience with Clara in Montmartre. She’s super personable and incredibly knowledgeable about photography and the area. What I loved most was that she helped me see the neighborhood in a completely different way — finding moments and subjects that most tourists would miss. I ended up with photos that feel much more authentic and unique to Paris. Clara also helped me get more comfortable with my camera settings, which was huge for me as a beginner. I learned a lot and would absolutely recommend this experience.
Clara was an amazing patient, knowledgeable and very inspiring teacher. I’m new to photography and am shy about taking photos of strangers but she was very encouraging and also gave me the technical and artistic tips on how to observe for interesting images and capture them on both my digital camera and my iPhone. I wish I had taken lessons with Clara a long time ago and I would definitely take more lessons with her in the future.
I had a fantastic experience with Clara and I would highly recommend the experience. The logistics were very well managed. Clara got in touch before our meeting to discuss what I wanted to get out of the session, my level of experience, and photography style and equipment. We met without difficulty and she spent some time (re)educating me on the operation of my equipment. Then we embarked on the tour, which was excellent. Clara was a great teacher and companion, had a tour very well mapped out, and gave me helpful hints as we moved around. I would recommend the experience for photographers at any level. I'll look to schedule another tour when I'm next in Paris.
Great couple of hours with Clara, myself and my daughter. Tour very much designed to individual/group. Very knowledgable about our camera and showed us lots of functions we knew nothing about. Great feedback on the photos taken and ways to improve. Great locations around Montmartre. Very much recommend this tour if you are interested in photography. Thank you.
What a great tour. Beautiful slightly off the beaten path part of paris. Beautiful location. Guide was fabulous too, knew all the great spots, very kind and knowledgeable. She is a great photographer too. Loved the tour, you'll come away with some great shots and have spent such a nice time in a beautiful part of paris. I could have kept going all day!
I had a great time learning from Clara, she’s not only a true professional, but also a kind, down-to-earth, and inspiring teacher. As a complete novice with just an iPhone, I was a bit nervous at first, but she made everything feel so approachable and fun. I first came across her stunning work on Ins, so getting the chance to learn from her in person felt like such a privilege. During our walk through the charming streets of Montmartre, I picked up so much, not just about photography, but also about Paris and its hidden corners. She helped me see the city through a creative lens (literally!) and gave me the confidence to keep snapping. It didn’t feel like a class at all, more like a photo walk with a very talented friend. That hour turned out to be one of the highlights of my Paris trip, something I’ll look back on for years. If you’re visiting Paris, I highly recommend booking a session with Clara! Thanks again Clara!
Clara is a great tour guide and artist/photographer! She told me much about working the gadgetry on my iPhone that I didn't know about, and her suggestions for my shots really expanded my framing knowledge. She was really easy to work with and really knew Montmartre and some excellent things you wanted to photograph. I enjoyed the experience of photographing Montmartre with Clara as my guide/teacher so much!
I absolutely LOVE the pictures I took with Clara! She showed me how to spot good shots that are different than typical Parisian tourist shots. I liked working with her so much that I've hired her to do some brand shoots for me for social media and my website. She really knows how to capture exactly what I need.
Clara is such a lovely person and a great teacher. I learnt so many tips and tricks for taking more interesting photos and found out about so many new features on my iPhone that I didn’t know were available! It was a great way to spend 2 hours in Paris, the time went by so quickly and I learnt a lot from an amazing person.
Clara is a highly professional photographer. The photography knowledge she shares makes it easy even for a beginner like me to quickly understand how to compose and color-grade photos in a way that tells a story. Clara is also a very genuine person—she recommended many beautiful yet less touristy photo spots in Arles, as well as some great restaurants and bars. I truly enjoyed our conversations and lessons; I really felt her warmth and sincerity.
Clara is simply the best. She is an excellent instructor with a terrific eye, and I learned things from her that will improve my street photography going forward. The places she took me were charming and interesting. Clara herself is delightful company. She is warm, upbeat, and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to spend time with her, and I would do it again without hesitation.
If you're in Paris and looking to elevate your photography skills, Clara’s street photography class is a must! Clara is a true artist who just happens to share her knowledge in the most engaging and approachable way. Her eye for detail and composition is incredible, and she showed us the most charming spots in Montmartre that only a local would know. Her tips instantly elevated my photos, making me feel like a Parisian blogger for the rest of my trip! Clara is as much a gifted teacher as she is a photographer, and I can already see her career skyrocketing. Take her class while you still can—you’ll be so glad you did!
Clara is AMAZING. I learnt a lot not only about photography using my new iPhone but also about Paris. She is warm, knowledgable and accommodating. The experience exceeded my expectations and if I go back to Paris, I would like to take her tour again in another neighbourhood.
Perfect experience in Paris and wonderful guide Clara was so knowledgeable and kind. Great memories!
This will be my seventh year photographing with Clara. My times in Paris are usually brief layovers of a few days with little time to scout locations, and I value Clara’s deep knowledge of the city as well as her professional and personable company. Given the virtual flood of mundane images on social media, I especially appreciate Clara’s excellent eye and artistic talent, motivating me to capture something interesting with my camera and not just make another Paris post card! I’m grateful for her help with my first solo exhibit and look forward to Clara’s continuing support when next in Paris.
Clara is a super nice person and very knowdedgeable! we had a great time walking around with her in Montmartre and we are taking with us great photography tips and tricks. Totally recommended :)
Clara is the best. She ask the right questions in order to help you improve your photography results! She is like your friend in Paris that knows the best spots to make the nicest pictures. And gives you tips and practical insights how to improve your skills. That is a lot of fun and you don'y have to read a lot of books...this is your highway to have more fun in photography. Even with your iPhone!
Clara is wonderful. So knowledgeable and kind. I was using an iPhone and she helped me ‘see’ and frame pictures from a much more interesting perspective. We connected deeply about life and I loved my time with her. Absolutely recommend this experience.❤️
Clara's photography workshop was fantastic! Her patience and insight made learning enjoyable and deeply enriching. I gained valuable techniques to enhance my photography, and exploring the history of Montmartre added a wonderful cultural layer to the experience. Highly recommended!
Clara is such a lovely person, and such a great and knowledgeable professional. She helped me to unlock a new view on the ordinary and was a very patient teacher. My knowledge was super basic and the class was personalized for my needs - in this case, starting from setting up my camera for different lights and scenarios, going to how to find new perspectives and ending even on finding my personal style regards photography. I highly recommend if you want to deepen your photography skills while having a pleasant afternoon with a great human. Thank you, Clara! I’ve had the best time.
What a wonderful, easy-going experience it was to spend a couple of hours with Clara in beautiful, old, and endlessly interesting Montmartre. She helps you see when you shoot, and to take your time and think about what choices you can make when taking a photo. Time flew by, and we’d logged many steps up and down the cobblestoned hills. Wear comfy shoes, learn patience, and maybe learn a few things about your iPhone that you didn’t know were available!
Clara is a wonderful teacher and artist! My teen daughter and I got so much out of this very personalized lesson and walk. She really cared about our perspective and shared about herself. Highly recommended!
10 out of 10! I would like to recommend this experience to anyone interested in beautiful city views & photography skills(life long useful skill!). You can take this experience no matter u have a professional camera or just your smartphone~ Clara showed me amazing views around that area, it’s an enjoy even u just walk alongside the streets and watch the beautiful scenes🌷 I know nothing about photography before but Clara is professional, she did fine art degree and work in photography industry for years. To be honest my photography skill is at another level after taking this session!! I guess I could show off my skills when I hang out with my friends next time!! I only upload 3 photos, the rest of photos are on my another phone, I think u will be surprised by the beautiful photos u can take by your own in the end, just like me😝
Clara is a very nice teacher and tour guide as well! The time passed very quickly and I was able to learn several cool things about photography and Montmartre. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about how to take good photos with any type of camera.
Highly recommend this experience! We would not have been able to experience Montmartre as well without Clara. We learned so many tips and tricks to take more interesting storytelling photos. Clara knew all the best spots to stop to take photos and tell us about. She is extremely thoughtful, provided extra communication support to my questions before booking, and also sent other Paris recommendations based on our likes. I do not have a professional camera but wanted to learn how to use my iPhone camera to its best potential. Clara tailored the experience for me with an iPhone and my husband with a professional camera.
Great photo session spent with Clara who is not only ultra skilled in her field but also extremely patient and kind:) She knows Paris as her pocket, adapts to the level / need / envy of all and makes us live a moment out of time! To do again absolutely, I loved:)))
A very nice artistic encounter and a very nice walk! Clara was very patient and kind despite our delay and our very low level.
Very patient and professional photographer who helped me progress while visiting Paris! Advice and tips plus good addresses! Activity to do without hesitation!
Very good time with Clara, who was very educational and with whom I learned a lot both about handling my camera and about framing in street photography.
Superb experience to discover photography. Clara is very educational, I had the chance to have a solo lesson with her and in two hours I learned a lot both about the technical understanding of my camera but also about the different strategies to adopt for framing and shooting. I recommend !
