Constance
Constance is a fashion and Parisian style influencer from Poland. She is known for her elegant and chic Parisian vibes expressed in her work (IG linked down below). A lot of her followers on Instagram really love how she dresses up to blend in with the beautiful city background and makes the pictures look just like breathtaking paintings.
Backstage Story
Actually, before connecting with Constance, I have seen her posts shared by popular Instagram Parisian style theme pages. And honestly, she is definitely one of the high-quality influencers who really puts in a lot of thoughts and work to create her content.Â
I did not expect it, but I received a message on Instagram from Constance for a photoshoot project this summer (2022). We communicated some details and pinned down a date for shooting. I had done so many street-style shootings but this shooting really got me so excited! By the way, If you are interested in checking other street style works I have done, please feel free to check Inspiring Paris Girls Aesthetics You Can’t miss.
The planning part was fast and easy. Constance already had her ideas of looks in mind, and I just had to pick locations that matches the vibe and the clothing. And no joke, you can literally take pictures anywhere in Paris and they will look great!Â
We met up in front of Le Recrutement CafĂ© – one of the most popular places to take pictures in Paris. It is highly recommended to check it out if you are planning your trip to Paris.

We did not have much time as I had so many shootings one after another that day, so we had to skip coffee and warm up chat and get straight into photo-shooting business :). As planned, there are two locations for the two looks.
Alright, enough chitchat. Let’s start NOW.
1. Parisian Style in White Silky Dress
The silky dress has become a must-have iconic piece for Parisian style or French style, no matter in which color. The design changes a bit from time to time, but the basic idea for the look does not change much.
As the shooting got started, I briefly asked about the brands of the pieces and creative ideas from Constance. We went to the corner of the street – the most instagramable spot and started shooting pictures!
We both love candid and in-between photos. So it was so easy for us to come to an agreement when I directed Constance for posing. Here is a tip for people who feel awkward when taking pictures – give some small movements and the pictures will turn out much better in most cases than posing still.
Constance is really talented and experienced when expressing the Parisian vibe in front of the camera. The beauty of street-style photography is that you get the chance to interact with things around you and blend in with the background – which I think Constance nailed it easily.

2. Parisian Style in Chic Black Dress
The shooting for the first look went super smoothly, and we quickly changed to the second look and got ready for the next look – a chic black dress. I personally love this black dress because the design on both sides frames the body shape very well. It makes the body looks slim and well-proportioned.
As we can see we have a beautiful bridge as the background! Shooting outdoors can always give happy accidents for the pictures. And if you are ever interested in indoor Parisian Haussmann apartment portraits, check here 3 French Style Indoor Luxe Looks That You Have Been Seeking.
Just a little walk next to the Seine and a bit of backlighting already gave me enough time to get the shooting done quickly. The key is to express the effortless and chic Parisian vibe that everyone can get. This look can definitely work for the day or for parties at night too. I will for sure share this post with my friends who I mentioned earlier in the article.
