THE PARIS VIP SESSION | Chateau Maison Esprit (April 11, 2026)

THE LOCATION 12 Minutes from Paris Central (Villemomble). Join us at Maison Esprit, a historic French Château where we will collide baroque architecture with the raw grit of analog film. This is not a classroom—it is a live editorial session.

THE CONCEPT Old World x New Wave. We are bringing the studio to the château. You will work alongside Emily Soto to capture agency models against centuries-old textures, utilizing the natural light to push instant film, medium format, and mixed media video to their limits.
