Local Guides, we’d like you to meet the super-talented Sharon Heinrich. She’s a culinary tour guide in Paris, where she’s lived for the last seven years. If you check out her Instagram, @parischezsharon, you’ll see that her gorgeous photos of the city’s most fantastically flaky pastries have attracted more than 117,000 followers.

“There are people who come to Paris for the art, the architecture, and the museums,” says Sharon. “For me, the pastries and the chocolate bonbons are diamonds and the pastry shops are the museums.”

On July 19, Sharon will meet up with Local Guides to taste and take photos of some wonderful desserts at Paris’s Colorova Patisserie. To watch live, be sure to like us on Facebook, then look for a notification around TKTIME.

See four of Sharon’s best tips below, and keep sharing your own great food photos on social media with #LocalGuides.

Have fun with styling. Try to have an interesting background—it can change the whole picture. Photo and tip by Paris chez Sharon (@parischezsharon)

Play with color and texture. Try to match the colors and textures of desserts with the background. Photo and tip by Paris chez Sharon (@parischezsharon)

Go outside. Take the dessert outside the shop, to a beautiful garden or street corner, and pretend it’s a model. Photo and tip by Paris chez Sharon (@parischezsharon)

Add personality. Consider showing hands in the picture—it gives a feeling of movement and reality. Photo and tip by Paris chez Sharon (@parischezsharon)

Great dessert photo tips @AnnaDickson! Indirect natural light makes everything look wonderful. Tried my hand (no pun intended) in giving my dessert photo some personality and also showing my love for this delicious chocolate hazelnut mousse in an edible chocolate mousse cup.  How's that for "no waste, great for the environment" @Kamalhasnainee  @ErmesT? = )  

This was my third dessert from a dessert trio.  It was very hard to finish this last one, not because of the taste, but being soo full from eating 2 desserts prior and drinking a Illy latte.

I can ensure that your solution is safe for the environment @KarenVChin . In Lindt shop I've also tried the chocolate spoon 🙂 

I'm so sorry for you, having to eat 3 dessert, only to be sure to have the right one for a good photo. 

Just curious about Illy latte. 

Both words sounds familiar to me, being Illy a coffee company not so far to my house, and latte the Italian word for milk. Am I right?
