Paris – the City that Loves the Camera

Paris – the City that loves the camera

When you think of France, you think of love, fashion, and pure elegance and that is exactly what this country embodies. France is a place where culture, aesthetics, and joy of life come together, making every trip feel like a little dream. From iconic cities like Paris to sunny coastlines, romantic villages, and historic landscapes, France offers an unmatched variety and inspires anyone who seeks beauty, adventure, and a touch of extravagance.

Paris in particular is often described as the City of Love, not only because of its unique architecture and romantic atmosphere, but also because it is the perfect place for unforgettable moments, even a proposal with a breathtaking backdrop. But it’s not just couples who fall in love with the city. Paris is full of scenic corners that offer endless opportunities for creators of all kinds: fashion lovers, history enthusiasts, and travelers alike – everyone finds their perfect photo spot.

And of course, I want to share my favorite locations for capturing the best Paris photos :

Trocadéro – the Eiffel Tower in all its glory

Place de Trocadéro et du 11 Novembre

The most famous spot for the perfect Eiffel Tower photos, just a few steps away from the main square. The wide, symmetrical view creates clear, elegant, and iconic shots.

Jardin de Trocadéro

Just below the main viewpoint lies the Jardin de Trocadéro, a softer and more romantic setting. Between fountains, greenery, and wide paths, you get a calm, natural backdrop with beautiful depth. Perfect for feminine looks, spring portraits, or aesthetic shots with the Eiffel Tower subtly in the background.

Trocadéro Stairs

The combination of clean lines, rising steps, and the Eiffel Tower behind you creates an editorial-style aesthetic, ideal for fashion photography, high-end portraits, and stylish street-style shots.

Hidden Spots for Eiffel Tower Photos

Pont d’Iéna

This bridge connects Trocadéro directly to the Eiffel Tower, but the secret is to move to the right side. It’s much quieter there, with an unobstructed view — especially at night when the tower glows golden. The perfect location for dreamy nighttime shots without the crowds.

228 Rue de l’Université

This iconic street looks like a scene straight from a French movie. Elegant façades, quiet surroundings, and a perfectly framed view of the Eiffel Tower make it a favorite among photographers. Ideal for romantic Paris shots, classic portraits, or refined fashion photos with an intimate urban touch.

Metro Line 6

This line is a hidden gem for anyone wanting to capture Paris from a different perspective. During daytime — but especially at night — the ride between Passy and Bir-Hakeim offers one of the most cinematic views of the illuminated Eiffel Tower. The mix of steel bridge structures, passing metros, and the sparkling tower creates a dreamy blend of Paris romance and cinematic vibes.

Montmartre & Sacré-Cœur – Above the Rooftops of Paris

Montmartre is the artistic heart of Paris. The Sacré-Cœur sits high above the city, offering a wide, panoramic view over the rooftops all the way to the horizon. Surrounding the basilica, you’ll find narrow streets, old artists’ studios, cobblestone pathways, and charming cafés. The mix of bohemian flair, romantic colors, and a touch of nostalgia makes Montmartre one of the most beautiful places for creative, story-driven photography. Every photo here feels like a scene from a movie.

Palais Garnier – My Hidden Gem in Paris

The Palais Garnier embodies pure Parisian elegance: ornate details, magnificent façades, and a luxurious Beaux-Arts style. Outside, it impresses with delicate statues, richly decorated elements, and architectural grandeur. Inside, the true magic unfolds — sweeping marble staircases, glittering chandeliers, and artistic ornaments that feel like scenes from a historical film. Perfect for editorials, portraits, and glamorous fashion shots that capture a refined blend of vintage charm and modern sophistication.

Versailles – A Royal Fairytale

Versailles is more than a palace — it’s its own universe of luxury, history, and art. The château impresses with its baroque architecture, golden details, and endless rooms that feel almost surreal. The Hall of Mirrors, with its chandeliers and magical reflections, is an absolute highlight. The vast gardens with perfectly shaped hedges, fountains, and long pathways create royal backdrops full of depth and elegance. Versailles blends history, luxury, and aesthetics in a way that makes every photo look like a modern fairytale.

For me, as a travel-loving model and photographer, Paris offers an experience unlike any other city. Every corner reveals a spot that looks as though it came straight out of a fashion or travel magazine.
