Backstage Story
Honestly, I am so obsessed with French country vibes – cute gardens, timeless sash windows, floral printed wallpapers, beaches in southern France, etc. Literally, I had all kinds of related movie sceneries popping up in my brain as inspirations. And I am so grateful that I had this opportunity to shoot this meaningful project together with the team.
We were four people, two staff from Emzi, model Marine and me. I am super appreciated of the teamwork and how fast they were when it comes to putting the set together, fixing details, and keeping the whole project organized too. Big thanks to the whole team again! 🙂
As mentioned before, we have four main French country looks and one more bonus look to share with everyone this time. Each look carries a different personality of a French girl, I would say.

We met up in a private-owned hotel (@Le Clos Tellier) close to Paris. And after brief greetings, we started the shooting together. Team of Emzi helped dress up the model, I set up my gears and the host of the hotel came to make sure we had what we needed. in Short, it all went smoothly!
Alright, enough chitchat. Let’s start NOW.
1. French Girl in Black Floral Dress
Voilà, this is our first look – a black floral dress. Personally, I think the flower is an essential element in french country style and that is one of the reasons this look was created and put together.
We wanted to do our first look in the room, so we walked around a bit and searched for perfect angles. Firstly, we tried to position the model in the middle of the room facing the big French windows – hoping to have better and softer lighting. But the pictures turned out empty-looking, as there was too much space filled in each picture.
At the same time, our team was brainstorming about the possible things people can do in the room. So we tried to come up with a little story that the model could follow and create the scene. Suddenly, someone fromthe Emzi team found this cute chessboard on one of the tables. And it worked so well with the concept we wanted to create!
Honestly, it was a completely different experience to take pictures ina location like this one, I felt more relaxed and close to nature.

In the meantime, I managed to take some portraits for the model, which I loved so much! I love the color contrast and the soft lighting on the beautiful skin. Plus, there are some floral elements here and there too – LOVE!

2. French Girl in Breton Stripes
Oh la la, how can we possibly miss the iconic Breton Stripes look? And here we go, summery, relaxed, and happy vibes that might even remind you of one of your summer vacations. 😉
To start with, we wanted to use the back garden of the hotel for this look. We took some photos there on the sofa and Emzi loved them. For me, I was more excited about the street style looks – my passion :). Alright, we walked around a little bit in the lanes around the hotel. No surprise, there was barely anybody on the street during summer vacation in France, which was perfect for our shooting actually.
Speaking about the street style, I know a lot of people come to Paris for holiday, looking for cute places for their beautiful photos.

3. French Girl in Floral Garden
I am super excited to share this look with you because it is my favorite of all! As for the reasons, I really love the typical French garden with flowers, comfortable chairs with cushions, and sunny vibes. 🙂
Honestly, this look and scene definitely reminded me of French movies shot in the French countryside. I really looked forward to having my hands on this project especially for creating similar vibes.
So after we changed to the third look we thought it could be nice to switch to the garden. We pretty much respected the set as how it was. Because it was beautiful and natural to eyes already. LOVE!
Marine sat down and I tried to take pictures for shoes of course. And for her portraits, I framed some red flowers in the corner to make the pictures more interesting. Apart from that, we also did some other pictures in front of the main door.

4. French Girl with Ice-cream
How could we forget about delicious ice cream in France? And yes, it was part of our story too. 😉
As it was our last look, we wanted to take some pictures in the town center. We arrived in front of an ice cream shop. Basically, I managed to grab an empty table and a chair for the model, Emzi team went inside to get ice cream for the model.
Although there were many people around us, we actually wanted to capture some street style with people in the background – creating more busy vibes in summer. The ice cream melted fast, I had to capture as many pictures as possible in a short time. Personally, I love the happy and sweet summer vibes! And you?

5. Bonus Look
In the end, I would like to share with you this bonus look we also did during the shooting. It was not the main look we wanted to create, but I still think it would be a nice idea to share with all of you. As it was part of the story too.
Hope you like them! 🙂
