AN ENGLISH PHOTOGRAPHER IN PARIS

Hi, I'm Brett, an English professional photographer based in Paris.
I specialise in corporate event, PR (Public Relations) and portrait photography.

I offer a wide range of photographic services in Paris and Île-de-France for a diverse clientele, from global organisations to private clients.

In addition to being a native English speaking photographer, I also speak German, Spanish, and, of course, French. I’m therefore well-adapted and fully accustomed to international environments.

Whether you want to hire a photographer in Paris, or elsewhere in Europe, no matter the size or type of the task, don't hesitate to get in touch.


PARIS PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES

CORPORATE EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY
I photograph company events ranging from high-level conferences and seminars to formal networking evenings and workshops, and from trade shows and sales conventions to Paris dinner cruises and team building events. My business clientele are high-profile and extremely diverse, as are the well-known Paris event venues I have had the pleasure to work at. As company gatherings, by their nature, entail various types of photography within one global assignment, my event services inevitably cover a host of photographic genres, such as on location portraiture and interior photography, each contributing towards the creation of very personalised promotional imagery.

COVERAGE OF PUBLIC AND PERFORMANCE EVENTS
Whether for press, commercial or business purposes, I can document activities ranging from sport events to public demonstrations, and from institutional projects to community schemes. Specialising in candid photography, my skills are well-adapted to the fly-on-the-wall approach of photojournalism. When it comes to photographing live performance, having a background in both music and theatre, this environment has always been been a big part of my creative experience, and is therefore one in which I truly feel at home. Whether for a classical orchestra concert, a modern music show or a theatre and dance rendition, I can create promotional imagery that documents each stage of the creative process, from the rehearsals to the backstage to the final live production. This service is ideally combined with both individual and team portraits.

PORTRAITS
Whether booking corporate portraiture for business professionals or promotional head shots for artists, you can choose to have your personalised photography session wherever you desire, whether that’s an indoor business establishment, a private premises, my Paris photo studio, or a public outdoor location (in which case the French capital offers an endless choice of settings…). Whatever the intended use of your portraits, I’ll be glad to recommend the best location (or combination of locations) to best suit your needs and offer personalised advice so that your photographs present you exactly as you want to be seen.

PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY
Whether as an isolated assignment or as part of a larger commission such as trade show or sales fair documentary, still life photography is often an integral part of my client work. The object, whatever its form, can either be photographed at my Paris photo studio or on location under either ambient or controlled lighting (as per the size of the merchandise or material to be captured). As a former graphic designer, my advanced post-production skills can prepare your final images for any intended usage, whether they’re to be displayed as part of a uniform e-commerce catalogue or stand alone as unique full-page promotional visuals for a brand’s website.

ARCHITECTURE & INTERIOR PHOTOGRAPHY
Whether to promote a major venue, the office spaces of a large organisation, a commercial premises or an independent property, my work as an interior and architectural photographer can render any location as spacious, luminous and inviting. Experienced in efficiently photographing multiple and diverse Parisian locations within a daily timeframe, for clients with several establishments to photograph, I can accommodate efficient shooting schedules which will both simplify your coordination and get you the most out of your budget.

PARIS PHOTO SHOOT
This private photography session in the French capital is most popular with international visitors such as vacationers and business travellers. Benefiting from my experience not only as a lifestyle photographer, but as a permanent resident of Europe’s most romantic city, my clients - whether a couple, a family, a group or an individual - will receive the absolute best advise as to the perfect Paris location for a photo shoot. Natural light photo tours don't only make fantastic souvenirs of the city of the lights; they can also capture many a once in a lifetime moments such as a surprise marriage proposal, an engagement celebration or a family’s first European trip together.

PRIVATE EVENTS & WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Both local Parisians and foreign visitors desiring a destination wedding in Paris can benefit from my experience shooting both inside the city’s town hall registry offices and outside, around the city itself. By hiring a wedding photographer experienced in both high-level event coverage and in directing private natural light lifestyle shoots for couples, you will receive a complete professional documentary that captures the emotion and joy of the big day. This service can be combined, as desired, with an engagement, pre-wedding and post-wedding photo shoot.


 
 

WHY HIRE BRETT WALSH PHOTOGRAPHY?

Continually Satisfied Clients
➤ CLIENT FEEDBACK


Consistent Quality
When you hire me, all of your images will be keepers, not just a select few. That’s why, when I advertise my work, I don’t need to rely on (or hide behind…) best-of slideshows. On this website, under each photo service I offer; under each business client I reference; under each event venue I mention; and under each Paris location I recommend, you will find comprehensive examples of past assignments to show what you can really expect from working with me.


Value for Money
I do not advertise tarifs or hourly rates, because my quotes are tailored each client's specific needs and budgets. Furthermore, when I give a proposal, the number of photographs I quote is always a minimum. This is because, if there are just a couple of extra shots I could include that I know will be appreciated, I'll put the extra work in. Likewise, when commissioning me for specific shooting periods - whether for a single hour, an evening, or a full day - I am never on-the-minute; if I am available and it is beneficial for the shoot, I'll always go that little bit further for my clients.


Service
As any of my clients will testify, throughout all stages of working together - from our initial correspondence to my submission of the final photographs (and beyond) - I am always there to offer honest, expert advice. Commissioning me, you are not only booking an established photography business; you are hiring a passionate creative that always strives to exceed clients’ expectations and make each assignment their best work to date.


Transparency
I provide extremely comprehensive quotes so as to give full clarity about the service offered. Working with me, there is no risk of any surprises or misinformation; you will know exactly what to expect. 


Reliability
Unlike dealing with larger media, event or tourism providers, when you hire me, you will be corresponding with a single, independent professional. This means that you are assured that the person with whom the quote is established and the assignment is planned is the same person that will show up on the day in question, the same person that will retouch and submit your photographs, and the same person you can contact directly throughout (and beyond) the entire creative process.
➤ THE BEST WAY TO HIRE A PHOTOGRAPHER


Language
I’m a native English photographer, that also speaks French, German, Spanish and (enough) Portuguese, which is practical for both foreign clients and for international events.


Experience
Whilst I openly encourage clients to communicate any preferences and requirements they may have for a particular assignment, this is always completely optional. I am totally at ease working with as much or as little creative input the hiring party wishes to provide. In the context of event coverage, where organisers always have more than enough on their plates in terms of preparation, there are many situations where a creative is needed who can simply turn up and get-on-with-it. I am a photographer that you can leave to their own devices throughout the entirety of the shoot and be assured that all key elements of the occasion will be effectively documented.


Post-Production Understanding
Asides from my professional photography experience, I am also a former digital graphic designer. Therefore, I have both an advanced knowledge of image editing and a deeper appreciation of how clients need to receive their images so that they can be used easily and effectively, no matter their intended purpose.


Versatility

As you’ll see, I have been commissioned for an extremely broad range of tasks which together cover just about every genre of professional photography imaginable. For this reason I am able to propose a truly full range of services and thus offer businesses the opportunity to have all of their photography needs - whether PR, marketing, promotional or commercial - expertly attended to within a single booking.
➤ PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGES


Reactivity
I live and work in the French capital itself. Therefore, for Paris-based photography I can quickly be on location and thus more easily accommodate urgent and last minute requests and schedule changes.
➤ GENERAL FAQ


Knowledge of Paris
As a Paris photographer, the vast majority of my assignments take place in the French capital itself. Therefore, I'm never short of recommendations regarding locations or advice concerning the coordination of a Paris photo shoot. Furthermore, with regards to business event photography, I have experience at a wide array of renowned venues.
➤ VENUES


Paris Photo Studio

I have my own small photo studio in the heart of the 20th arrondissement. This means, in complement to my on location services, I am able to propose both studio portrait shoots for private clients and studio product photography for businesses.
➤ STUDIO


Professional Equipment
Be assured that my cameras and lenses are fully professional. Whilst one would think this to be completely self-evident, the truth is that an alarming amount of advertised photographers do not use truly professional equipment. A professional camera and, most importantly, lens setup provides an image quality and definition that will be unmistakable, no matter the context in which your images will be used. Do not accept anything less…
