 Valentine’s Portraits ❤️  Paris Place des Vosges 📸

Valentine’s Portraits ❤️ Paris Place des Vosges 📸

Dammann Frères Vosges, 15 Pl. des Vosges, 75004 Paris, France, Paris, FR

Join us for a global moment. 🗓️ ❤️ On Feb 14th, Paris joins other cities all over the world—from Barcelona to New York—to capture real human connection. 🌍

📸 Photographers of all levels—whether you’re shooting Digital, Film, Polaroid, or just starting out as a hobbyist. 🥰 This is your playground to practice portraiture, test new gear, and swap tips with fellow photographers in a high-energy, real-world setting. ✨

⚠️ Note: "No tripods, no external flash stands." Keep it handheld. If the police ask, we are a "Social Meetup of Friends," not a "Production." 🤝

💖 Calling all locals and visitors—couples, soulmates, and besties—who are happy to step in front of the lens. 📸 Help us document love and friendship in our city as part of a worldwide photo project. ❤️ Your story is at the heart of the movement. 💞

### ✨ How it Works

📱 Join our WhatsApp group: It's very important to join to get last-minute updates and the live location during the event.

📸 Follow us on Instagram: @takeaphotowalkcommunity where you'll find more information about our next events, as well as photos of the group and our walks.

📍 Meet Up: Head to Dammann Frères Vosges at the scheduled time. Just look for the group with the cameras!

🕒 For late comers: The Photo location will be at Place de Vosges

👋 Connect: This is a social mixer. Pair up with photographers and participants for quick, collaborative mini-sessions.

🎭 Let´s Play: It’s all about the vibe! Photographers—this is your playground to try a new lens or technique. Participants—just bring your best energy!

🤳 The Backup Plan: No photographer in sight? No problem! Don’t let those outfits go to waste. Find a fellow duo nearby and "Swap a Shot"—play paparazzi for each other or grab a killer selfie and tag us.
