Paris photography - Michiru is wonderful. Her insight on where to go within Paris to capture the buildings, iconic places, architecture, framing the subject, composition was outstanding. I loved every minute of it. I would definitely recommend her and this tour!

Perfectly Personalized - I have taken several Photography Tours in major cities around the world. This tour was the best that I have ever experienced! Clara reviewed the information I provided prior to the tour and further questioned my interests for clarity when we met on Pont Marie. Although my husband accompanied me on the tour, he chose not participate in the photography activities. Clara maintained her focus on me throughout our time together. She was patient and accommodating throughout the 3-1/2 hour tour. Although most of her clients use DSL cameras, I brought my iPhone 15 Pro Max to use on the tour. She showed me how to better use the camera's native app features to create interest in my photos and alter exposure (beyond automatic settings) for maximum benefit in low light settings. I now better know how to incorporate a foreground element when taking a photo of a large building/monument to create visual interest in the shot. I greatly benefited from Clara's expertise and positive, constructive feedback. My photography skills in general and my night photography skills in particular were definitely enhanced as a result of my time spend with Clara.

Excellent. Clara gave excellent tips, techniques and showed us great locations and subject matter. - We booked the 17:00 Paris tour. Clara was right on time and where indicated on our emails. The booking process and information follow up was excellent. We loved it. Clara is a friendly, extremely helpful and knowledgeable person. We are very familiar with our cameras, but still got excellent tips and photos with Clara’s guidance. She ensured she helped the 2 of us individually. She knew the area well, suggested different techniques, and showed us things that we would have missed on our own. She is very generous with sharing her knowledge of photography and of locations. Highly recommended. (We had previously used Aperature Tours in Tokyo, and can also recommend a tour there).

Nighttime photo tour with Clara was worth every penny! - The 3 hour nighttime tour with Clara was a highlight of my time in Paris. She was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful - while still allowing me creative control and being patient as I composed shots. Her knowledge of both Paris and her craft was excellent. I would highly recommend Aperture Tours and if you’re in Paris, ask for Clara! I was so impressed I will be doing another tour this year in Japan. I am a hobby photographer who knows my way around my camera and settings - but I think the tour would be great for any skill level.

Private Photo Tour with Clara - My wife and I did a photo tour with Clara on our trip to Paris to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was a top highlight of our trip. Clara was so kind and helpful. My wife had bought me my first film camera for Christmas about 6 months before the trip, and we had taken it out together a few times in those 6 months. But we really didn't know what we were doing. When we showed our families pictures from the trip, everyone could tell the ones we took before vs after the tour with Clara (lol).
Clara started the tour walking us through the basics and a little bit of the let's say intermediates of the Canon AE 1 we brought on the tour. She taught us about how to use shutter speed & aperture in combination to achieve the depth of field we wanted in a picture. She also taught us a little on how to find our style and really enjoy photography. I loved a line she said when I was getting a little frustrated that I couldn't get the exact shot I wanted, "photography involves compromise".
Such an amazing experience, and so grateful we got Clara as our guide. Highly highly recommend!

Hidden Paris - Michi was phenomenal. She first asked several questions about what I wanted to accomplish. I explained that I wanted to take photos that were not the “Usual” tourist photos. She knew just what I meant. Off we went into the back streets of Paris. All of her suggestions were great. She checked my photos occasionally to make sure I was on the right track. Because the culture is different from the US she explained the do’s and don’t of taking photos of people. At all times Michi was professional and an excellent guide and photographer. I highly recommend her. It was the best workshop I have experienced.

Photography Tour in Paris with Aperture Tours - We had an amazing tour with Clara from Aperture Tours. She was knowledgeable and a very nice person so it was fun to spend time with her. We started in Montmartre and made our way around the city for street photography. Along the way, Clara gave constuctive and helpful feedback on my photos and helped me learn new manual setting skills. As a result I was able to capture some stunning images. I will not hesitate to book another tour with Aperture Tours!

Learned a lot while seeing Paris through a lens. - I really enjoyed the long exposure lessons using the tripod. I was able to get some great effects, and night photography is something that I want to improve.

Total waste of time, money and our evening, walking the streets of Paris to all the closed and covered monuments, Was made into - The thought of having a guided tour of Paris at night to see the landmarks, buildings, fountains, some out of the way streets along the Seine River and the golden hour of sun set. With some tips and tricks thrown in for good measure was to much to resist. Michiru Nakayama arrived on time and seemed more interested in street art and the fact that the big attract attractions were a very long way away. As we walked she pointed out lots of street art opportunities which I'm not really interested in, with no assistance with composure or camera settings and seemed more interested in my wife who was along for the walk, My wife said to Michiru that it was about her husband and his photography and started dropping back to avoid distracting her, but to no avail. Once the light dropped and I asked if I could get my tripod out I was a little happier, it didn't help with lots of the monuments being repaired and a lot of places being fenced off for the Olympics which our guide seemed to have no idea about, the only time see actually got close to me was when a homeless man startled her and she wanted protection. I called no joy with about 20 minutes left to go and offered to walk her the the metro. Worst tour I've ever done in Europe or anywhere else in the world for that matter.
