Paris Photo Tours

What you will Learn
Some people believe that the more expensive their equipment, the better their photos will be. Unfortunately this is far from true. In fact, the ability to 'see' creatively is the most important aspect of striking and meaningful photography.
Training the eye and the mind to instinctively sense when there is a great image to be captured is what you will learn on our photo tours in Paris.
Learning by doing is our motto, and from the very first moment you will be taking photos, encouraged by Sab's enthusiasm and guided by his expert suggestions and advice.

Customer Reviews
"By the way I took all of the photos except for the one of the tabletop at the cafe. That was Sab's composition. Sab taught me how to use my camera, how to control what I wanted to get in the photo, and a little about composition...I'd say quite a bit for a Friday afternoon in the Rain."
