Looking for a portrait photog in Paris

[yoyo22]

My friend in Paris needs some decent photos for her application for an internship. Does anyone here have a recommendation for a decent portrait photographer in Paris who does not charge a fortune (she is just a student)?

For CV photos, any Fuji/Kodak lab will do a good job. It's about 5€ for 5 photos

Thanks for the advice, but the photos should look better than the ones from the machine. She won't be applying for a job in McDonalds, but a bank, insurance company or who ever else would hire an MBA in finance and accounting.
The budget for decent photos is up to 100 EUR.

Have her call the office at SPEOS (google it). I'm sure you'll find a student there who'
ll oblige for 100 euros.

Thanks for the advice - the first sound one in this thread. She called their office, but they would only allow their students to take photos of their fellow students as she understood.

I know the folks there. She must have talked to some flunky at the front desk.

If I were her, I'd go to the school and post a small street flyer on the street outside the school. Somebody will answer her request within a day or two. Either that or call back and ask if there's a place on campus to post requests for photographers. I'm sure they'll do that. She can also call and ask for Pierre Eves. He'll be happy to help.

Thanks a lot! I'll tell her to do that.

I would recommend you contact Gabriel M.A. ( http://rangefinderforum.com/forums/member.php?u=1505 ) from the forum. I believe he's still in Paris and I'm sure he would accommodate you and he's quite adept at his portraiture.

Cheers,
Dave
