The approach

A true portrait begins with a real encounter.

In a controlled environment, every detail matters. A successful portrait is more than a well-lit face: it conveys a presence, an attitude, a personality.

Before the session, we talk about how the images will be used and what you want to convey. During the shoot, I guide your poses and expression so you feel at ease, even if you have never posed before.

Sculpted light, graphic black and white, the movement of a coat or the chemistry of a duo: the art direction stays clean and modern, for timeless images suited to campaigns, catalogues, websites and social media.

  1. Portfolio & fashion

    Portfolios and tests for model agencies and their models, as well as for actors, dancers and designers, in colour or in black and white.

  2. Editorial, lookbook & campaign

    Editorials, lookbooks and campaigns for fashion brands, solo, duo or group, with full art direction.

  3. Professional portraits

    For executives, freelancers and artists: portraits that inspire trust on your website, on social media or in the press.

  4. Personal portraits

    A session for yourself, as a couple or with friends: a carefully crafted moment and images to keep.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered.

Another question? Write to me, I reply within 24 hours.

I have never posed before. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Many of the people I photograph are not models. I guide you throughout the session — posture, gaze, gestures — to achieve natural images.

What should I wear?

Choose plain, well-cut outfits in which you feel like yourself. I send you specific advice before the session, tailored to how the photos will be used.

Do you work with model agencies?

Yes, it is the core of my work: portfolios and tests for models, in the studio or outdoors, with a retouched selection delivered within a few days to three weeks.

How many photos are delivered?

The number of images depends on the package and your needs; it is set out in the quote. Every delivered photo is selected and retouched.

How much does a portrait session cost?

Portrait and editorial sessions are quoted individually, based on duration, location, number of people and image usage.
