خلفية ثقافية
The 'Droit à l'image' is very strict. You should always ask before taking a photo of someone's face in a way that makes them identifiable. In Quebec, 'prendre une photo' is slightly more common than in France due to English influence, but 'faire une photo' remains perfectly natural. Street photography has a long history in Paris. Many people will be happy to pose, but some 'artistes' prefer candid shots. The term 'Instagrameur' is common, and 'faire une photo pour mon feed' is a standard Gen Z phrase.
The 'Vous' Trap
Remember: 'Vous faites', not 'Vous faisez'. This is the most common error for this phrase.
Gender Matters
Always say 'UNE photo'. Saying 'un photo' is a dead giveaway that you are a beginner.
