FREE ❤️ Valentine’s Portraits – Paris Place des Vosges 📸
Details
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. 💞
