Wandering through Dordogne's medieval villages feels like stepping into another era. Villages like Beynac-et-Cazenac, La Roque-Gageac, and Sarlat-la-Canéda offer countless opportunities for candid shots. Cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, and flower-adorned balconies provide endless details for your lens to linger on. Every corner holds a story, and every façade whispers secrets of centuries past.

• Golden Hour Magic: Plan your shoots around sunrise or sunset for the most flattering light.
• Experiment with Angles: Climb to hilltops for panoramic views, or get low to highlight textures of cobblestones or riverbanks.
• Patience Pays Off: Wait for the right moment – a bird in flight, a local strolling by, or the perfect cloud formation.
• Engage with Locals: Their faces and daily lives add authenticity and warmth to your portfolio.
