Behind-the-Scenes: How a Remote Photoshoot Works from Paris to Anywhere
WRITTEN BY KAROL @THECREATIVE.SITE
Lights, creativity… and a global connection.
As a Paris-based fashion photographer, creating stunning imagery isn’t confined to the city limits. Thanks to modern logistics and meticulous planning, I can bring the Parisian fashion vibe to brands anywhere in the world. In this post, I’ll take you behind the scenes of a remote photoshoot — from initial contact to final delivery — so you can see exactly how we turn your products into captivating visual stories, no matter where you are.
Step 1: Initial Contact – Understanding Your Vision
Every project starts with a conversation. We discuss your needs, your brand’s vision, the type of content required, and the overall campaign goal. Once everything is clear, I provide a final quote that aligns with your budget and expectations.
💬 “The better we understand your brand from the start, the more seamless the entire shoot becomes.”
Step 2: Agreement & Secure Terms
Before any work begins, we finalize a professional agreement with comfortable and secure payment terms. This ensures clarity, trust, and a smooth collaboration from day one.
Step 3: Sending Your Products to Paris
To bring your campaign to life, your products are sent to our Paris studio. Pro tip: mark them as samples on the courier order to avoid unnecessary customs fees. Once received, they are carefully catalogued and prepped for the shoot.
Step 4: Full Planning & Creative Brief
Behind every successful photoshoot is detailed planning:
Location scouting — finding the best Parisian streets, interiors, and outdoor spots that align with your brand aesthetic
Model selection — choosing talent that complements your product and story
Moodboards — defining colors, poses, and lighting to match your communication style
Styling — arranging outfits, accessories, and props for maximum impact
Everything is mapped out to make the shoot efficient and visually cohesive.
Step 5: Photo & Video Sessions
With planning complete, the shoot begins. Whether it’s lifestyle, fashion, or e-commerce imagery, we capture each frame with editorial precision. Video content is also produced simultaneously, allowing a rich multimedia package to be delivered.
Step 6: Preview, Selection & Final Edits
After the session, you receive a curated preview of the content. You select your favorite images, and we perform a full commercial-standard edit to ensure each file is polished, consistent, and ready for any use — from social media to print campaigns.
Step 7: Returning Your Products
Once the project is complete, we carefully package and return your products. Your items come back safely, just as they arrived, and your brand receives all the finalized content ready to use worldwide.
What Clients Often Don’t See
A remote photoshoot may look effortless from afar, but it involves:
Detailed consultations and briefing
Product handling and logistics
Creative planning and moodboarding
Professional photography and videography
Editing and final content delivery
It’s a full-service approach, designed to make your brand shine globally, even if you never step foot in Paris.
Final Thoughts
Remote campaigns prove that distance is no barrier to creativity. From the first conversation to the final edited image, every step is handled with care, precision, and a touch of Parisian magic.
