Imagine yourself being photographed in a stunning red flying dress, against the backdrop of Paris’s most iconic landmarks.
What exactly is a Flying Dress?
The Flying Dress is a long, flowing gown made of lightweight satin that catches beautifully in motion. The top is infinity-style with multiple tie options (halterneck, strapless, etc.), and the drawstring waist fits a wide range of sizes and body types. You may like to wear a strapless nude or red bra underneath, or shapewear if that’s more your comfort zone.
How does the Flying Dress Experience work?
Mode 1 — Running Away: You run while the dress billows behind you. Flat shoes and a little dexterity are all you need. The goal is images that feel natural and effortless, like a scene from a fairy tale.
Mode 2 — Traditional Flying Dress: The skirt appears to blow in the wind, but it needs an assistant to really make it soar. A partner or friend works perfectly, or I can call on one of my trusty assistants.
This shoot is active and physical, and you’ll be hands-on creating the movement. I’ll keep shooting until I’m 100% confident we have our hero shots. Some clients feel a little nervous, though they shake off any nerves within minutes. Don’t hesitate to share any big feelings. Open communication makes for the best photos!
I’ll guide you through poses and movements to bring the dress to life. There’s usually a lot of laughing involved, and yes, I will ask you to run away from me “just one more time.” The more committed we both are to that epic shot, the more likely we are to get it.
Do I need someone to help with the dress, or can I do it solo?
Depends which mode we go with. For Running Away, it’s just you and me — you run, the dress billows, done. For the Traditional Flying Dress look, the skirt needs a second pair of hands to really make it soar, so you’ll want a partner or friend along, or I can arrange an assistant.
Eiffel Tower or Louvre — which is better for a flying dress shoot?
I always lean toward the Louvre. It’s got more open space, fewer tourists elbowing into your shot, and it’s more forgiving on timing — you don’t need to be there before 8 am to get the crowds thin. The Eiffel Tower is gorgeous too, just tighter and more competitive for space.
What’s the best time of day for this kind of shoot?
Early is best for soft light and thin crowds, especially at the Eiffel Tower. The Louvre gives you a little more breathing room on timing if an early start isn’t realistic for your trip.
How many photos will I get, and can you combine my best moments?
I edit down to a polished gallery of your favourites, and yes — if your best flying-dress action shot and your best expression happen to be two different frames, I can composite them into one so nothing great gets left behind.
How much does a flying dress photoshoot in Paris cost?
My Flying Dress Photoshoot experiences start at €695, and this includes the dress, one iconic location (and surrounding areas) and, if we need an extra set of hands, the cost of an assistant. You will receive 8 stunning final photos worthy of printing out as art for your walls.
