There are projects that go beyond photography, experiences where people transform a simple event into something almost like a blessing — and Chloé’s phototours are exactly that. These tours are not just photographic events; they are true escapes from time, crafted with genuine passion and a rare, pure kindness that she embodies perfectly. She brings a passion to every moment so pure and intense that it becomes contagious. She cultivates altruism, sharing, kindness, and simplicity, creating a space where every participant feels valued, heard, and uplifted, no matter their background, skill level, or recognition. With her, you don’t just experience photography — you embark on a human adventure beyond time, leaving an indelible mark far beyond the images themselves (even though the photos she helps you create will likely be some of the most beautiful you’ll ever take). She offers a space of humanity that unites us around a shared passion and connects us through authentic — and above all, real — emotions. For me, I discovered a true human experience… even though I had initially come just to capture beautiful images.

I had the chance to participate in the Phototour of Chloé Heck, and I can wholeheartedly recommend this experience to all photographers, regardless of their level. Taking part in this kind of photo project is a true breath of fresh air for both the soul and the mind. Personally, it gave me a huge boost, reignited my creativity, and offered the opportunity to discover new perspectives. What makes this event so special is the human dimension. It’s much more than a simple “gathering” of photographers—it’s a genuine exchange, a moment of sharing and mutual support in a caring and welcoming atmosphere. Chloé has created an environment that fosters creativity and authenticity, where everyone can freely express themselves. This adventure, both human and creative, is something everyone should experience at least once in their life: meeting incredible models, exploring breathtaking locations that we don’t usually have access to.

I had the chance to participate in the Phototour organized by the incredibly talented Chloé Heck. I don’t have enough words to describe the immense amount of work she put into making such an event possible. You can feel the colossal organization, boundless energy, and incredible passion behind every single detail. The locations… absolutely stunning, inspiring at every turn. And the models… what can I say? Each one was more beautiful, unique, and inspiring than the last. They brought a level of beauty and intensity to the images that words simply can’t capture. Beyond the photos, it was the emotions that truly touched me. Genuine, powerful moments shared with an exceptional team of women — all passionate, all invested, all different, yet united by the same spark. These encounters, these exchanges, the laughter, and the moments of connection will stay with me forever. I leave these days with a full heart, precious memories, and renewed energy. It’s an experience that truly can’t be described — it must be lived.

Complicity, smiles, love, moments suspended in time… That’s exactly what the Portfolio Days are. Whether you’re a model or a photographer, the experience is the same: intense and deeply human. Five days lived to the fullest. Fatigue, bursts of laughter, an insane amount of photos and videos. Connections being made, sometimes tears, a lot of gratitude, pride, doubts too. And it’s precisely this mix that makes the adventure so unique. I was lucky enough to take part in two editions — completely different, yet both incredibly enriching, on a human level as well as a professional one. The Portfolio Days are about pushing yourself, supporting one another, experimenting — sometimes successfully, sometimes not — but above all, truly living as a group, 24/7. It opens up new horizons, pushes you out of your comfort zone, and brings that dose of dopamine we all need.
