Selected Testimonial

"Because I booked a private tour I liked that I got 100% of Sophie's attention. I received quick feedback from the photos that I took and instantly knew how to improve them with Sophie’s help. We visited all of the places that I wanted to see in Paris and Sophie helped me find the best vantage point from where to take my photos. When the 2 days were over I had a strong understanding on how to take a really good photo and during the rest of my vacation in Paris I was constantly going back to what Sophie taught me so that I could take the best possible photo. When I got home and I looked at the photos on my computer I was thrilled by the number of great photos that I took. I could see a definite improvement in the composition and the exposure of my photos versus other vacations that I have taken over the past few years.

If someone is hesitant about whether to spend the time or the money to have Sophie teach them about photography and take them around the city of Paris I would strongly urge them to take the chance because they won’t be disappointed. I know that I wasn’t. I already knew the basics about how to take a photo and Sophie helped me to strengthen my knowledge so that I could take an average photo and make it a great photo. I saw a definite improvement in my pictures and I am grateful for what she has taught me."
