About
Jimmy de Paris
International experience · Riviera focus
French Riviera event photographer and videographer working with corporate programmes, luxury brands, conferences, and private clients who expect calm execution and editorial-quality deliverables.
A production mindset shaped by years in Dubai, Miami, Paris, and London — fast turnarounds, international crews when needed, and discretion as standard.
FrenchRivieraPhotographer.com is the Riviera-focused platform for event media — photography, video, interviews, and instant delivery — while the personal brand remains available for selected collaborations and long-form work.
Based around Cannes, Monaco, and Saint-Tropez, the practice serves the full French Riviera and South of France. Selected environments include luxury hospitality, global member organisations, fine art and auction contexts, jewellery and watch maisons, philanthropic galas, and international editorial networks — always with careful, factual references and no exaggerated claims.
Whether you are commissioning coverage for a Cannes summit, a Monaco brand activation, or a private gathering in the hills above Saint-Tropez, the same standards apply: read the room, stay invisible when it matters, and deliver files that speak for themselves.

Frequently asked questions
Which hotels and venues do you regularly work at on the French Riviera?
Regular venues include the Carlton, Martinez, and Majestic in Cannes, Hôtel de Paris and Hermitage in Monaco, Byblos and Cheval Blanc in Saint-Tropez, Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Antibes, and the Four Seasons Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat. Each property has its own protocols for photography — access points, lighting conditions, and guest-privacy expectations — and familiarity with these details means less setup time and a smoother experience for hosts and guests.
How is working with a photographer who knows the venue different?
Knowing the property means understanding which spaces catch the best light at which hour, where to position for group shots without disrupting service, and how to coordinate with events and security teams who already know the crew. It removes friction on the day — no scouting needed, no surprises with restricted areas.
Do you work directly with hotel events teams?
Yes. Coordination with the hotel’s events or PR team is part of the standard process — aligning on access times, setup areas, and any guest-privacy requirements before the day. For properties where we’ve worked repeatedly, this relationship is already established.
