Cinematic Night Photowalk - Bordeaux edition.

Join me in BORDEAUX on Tuesday October 20, 2026 at 6.30pm (France time) to explore the world of cinematic storytelling where every corner, neon glow, shopfront reflection, and shadowed alley becomes part of the frame and the narrative.

This after-dark photowalk isn’t just about taking pictures, it’s about seeing like a filmmaker.

We'll be chasing ambient light, exploring mood, contrast, and composition, using nothing but what the city has to offer: from shop signs, streetlights, car beams, and pockets of glow tucked into unexpected places.

Inspired by the atmospheric look of films like Drive, Blade Runner, Lost in Translation, and Collateral, this walk is open to both photographers and filmmakers and invites you to slow down, observe, and create story-driven frames with depth and emotion. It's an exciting cinematic dive into Bordeaux after-dark.

You’ll be shooting with 1 model styled to suit the aesthetic, capturing scenes that feel like stills from a movie, with no flashes, no big setups, just smart, intentional use of constant light sources.

This is an opportunity to explore artificial lighting for both digital and film work; 

Please note

This event is open to all camera systems, even analog ones.

The meeting point will be confirmed closer to the time but we will be walking around Bordeaux looking for interesting outdoor/indoor backdrops.

• Sourcing and playing with available artificial light 
• Shooting in low-light and pushing your skills in this area 
• Chats on how to frame, compose, and shoot in a cinematic way 
• Thinking on the spot and developing flexibility when shooting with constraints 
• For filmmakers, we will look at how we can create actions/emotions in a 10 second clip

• A camera and lenses - ideally you will have a camera that can shoot comfortably at high ISO and lenses with a wide aperture (F2.8 or under if possible) 
• Pro-mist like filters to create in-camera halation (nice to have but not a requirement - this can also be done in post-production) 
• No flash needed
