What people say about this new workshop:
"I recently returned from Valerie’s “See Paris With Your Heart” workshop and my head is still spinning with images, thoughts, sounds and all the wonders that make up Paris. I’ve been to Paris several times before but this trip was simply magical. It was wonderful to be with a group of photographers (and new friends!), all willing to learn and share. Valerie’s approach to contemplative photography was truly inspiring. She helped me to slow down and see beyond my usual photographic vision and to think about images in story form. Valerie is an amazing photographer, teacher and person! She generously gave us guidance and encouragement, and shared insights about places and people in Paris that would be very hard to discover on our own. It was such an incredible and unforgettable experience that I’ve signed up for another workshop with Valerie!" B. Williams, Chicago (See Paris with your heart May 2022)
“Exceptional. Formidable. I participated in Valérie’s See Paris with your Heart workshop with a street photographer’s eye, longing to expand my photographic horizon. Valérie took us places, told us stories and showed us examples that have really given me a completely different take on my photography. I have no idea how she did it, but she was able to push me out of my comfort zone, into a whole new, equally and perhaps even more comfortable zone. I guess it is due to the welcoming and motivating atmosphere she is able to create in her workshop! This was my first workshop with Valérie, it will for sure not be my last. Loved every minute of it, and can highly recommend it.” Michiel Heijmans, NL (See Paris with your heart May 2022)
“There is so much noise from the media and social media going on around us that we sometimes might be too distracted from our own creative process that lays inside of us. In this workshop I learned to listen carefully into myself and express emotionally with all my being and creativity how I saw and felt Paris. Valérie Jardin is such a great teacher, the workshop was not only fun, it was also inspiring and I learned to trust my own creative work. Thank you for that Valérie!” Marianne Burri, Zurich, CH (See Paris with your heart May 2022)
