Exploring the Details of the Experience

The Locations and Their Charm

This photo shoot takes place in some of Cannes’s most charismatic neighborhoods. Whether you prefer the glamorous Boulevard de la Croisette, with its luxury hotels and seaside views, or the cobbled, historic streets of Le Suquet, each offers a distinctive backdrop. The harbor of Vieux-Port provides a lively maritime scene, perfect for those who love a bustling, authentic feel.

What’s nice is that you can choose the neighborhood that best matches your personality. Feeling romantic? Le Suquet’s winding streets and pastel buildings might be your pick. Want elegant shots by the water? La Croisette’s palm trees and boutique-lined promenade are ideal.

The Photography Style and Quality

The photographer employs a documentary, unobtrusive style, meaning you’ll get natural, candid shots rather than stiff, posed portraits. This approach tends to produce images that truly reflect your personality and the joyful spirit of your trip. Whether you’re smiling genuinely, enjoying a candid laugh, or simply soaking in the scenery, these photos will feel authentic.

The images are high-resolution, suitable for large prints or posters. For the one-hour session, you’ll receive 30 professionally reworked images, while the two-hour option offers up to 60 images. This makes the photos practical souvenirs or even elegant gifts to share with friends and family.

The Practicalities

Your meeting point is arranged with the photographer after booking, making the process smooth and flexible. The duration is just 1 hour, which makes it a quick but impactful activity. If you’re worried about weather, you might find cloudy skies lend a dramatic quality, but in case of very bad weather, you can contact your photographer to reschedule.

This experience is priced per group, meaning it’s the same fee for 1 to 7 participants. If you’re traveling with a larger group, it’s worth checking whether arrangements can be made.
