Words cannot express how glad I am that I found Pierre, but I will try my best.
On a recent jaunt to Paris, I decided that after 2 other visits to the City of Light, I had no good pictures that truly captured this magnificent city. Since I was traveling solo, I had the luxury of spending my time any way I pleased, so I decided a photo shoot was in order. It seemed like a fabulous idea, but where to begin finding a photographer on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean? Enter Yelp.
Thanks to Yelp I found Pierre and all of his fans. I contacted him and the response was immediate! We exchanged emails for a few weeks while I did my research. I found other photographers that were less expensive, but the quality and eye was just not there and there were other much higher ones. I felt that Pierre was within my budget and his work was in line with what I envisioned. I told him the areas that I was interested in and he gave me a plan for time and cost. I was sold, so I put down a small deposit via pay pal and secured my appointment.
The day of our shoot, I arrived to our meeting point and the weather was bad. The sky was dark grey and the sun was no where to be seen. I was so disappointed, but Pierre was kind enough to suggest that we reschedule to the following day when the weather promised to be much nicer. We met again the following day and it was a gorgeous Paris morning! We shot at three locations over a little bit over 2 hours. Pierre was incredibly professional but warm and made me feel at ease despite my lack of "modeling" experience. He has a very warm disposition and a great sense of humor, it was like spending a morning with an old friend. He gave me very clear direction and was very patient with me throughout the shoot. Before the shoot I was so nervous and anxious, but as it was happening, I didn't want it to end!
I left the shoot and could not wait to see the finished product! Pierre said it would be about a month and he would collect the balance from me then. Exactly a month later, I got a generous number of beautiful hi-res photo files in a digital album. Pierre captured so many different moods and the weather gave us so many sides of Paris. I'm the kind of girl that usually smiles big straight into the camera, but Pierre captured so many different looks and sides of my personality. I'm truly thrilled with the outcome!
Bottom Line, if you are as crazy about Paris as I am, and you are traveling here, this is a must, and Pierre is your man. He is honest, professional and just a nice guy with a good eye for the beauty of Paris. Contact him ASAP, you will NOT be disappointed! read more
