I am a French semi-pro photographer based in Montreal (Canada). All photoshoots are free of charge. My reward is the pride in my model’s eyes.
Catching beauty is what drives me.
Without constructing it or faking it. Simply feeling with an eye what has a potential, to reveal it with the right frame, the right angle, at the right instant.
I shoot both with sun natural light and with studio material, depending on what I want to reach. Ultimately, whatever the image was made naturally or artificially, the whole work will disappear and reveal effortless photos.
I always look for new models to explore new sides of beauty. Whoever you are, a model, an influencer or just a person enjoying to make photos, please contact me. I am based in Montreal, Canada.
We can shoot portraits, semi-naked or fully naked bodies, or fashion-styled images. In a studio mode, outdoor situations or lifestyle moments.

I was born in the South of France 44 years ago where I grew up for 20 years under the sun of the French Riviera. In 1998, I moved to Paris in order to become an engineer specialized in biotech & the sciences of life. Surprisingly, I never practised as a bio-engineer. By luck or by fate, I joined the marketing teams of a leading beauty company 20 years ago. Since this moment, I have been leading there products creation, brands strategies, advertising campaigns, digital media & more recently Ecommerce.
Beyond luck or fate, entering the beauty industry was not a drift but a reconnection to my inner-self, to my love for images since I was a child, and to the photography universe. As advertiser, I have collaborated multiple times with famous photographers on global campaigns featuring super models or renowned actresses. Behind the control screen, I have been the client checking when images met expectations. I have decided when “we had the one” on the disk, for instance. Ultimately, these experiences have sharpened my eyes to judge and project creative ideas. Over last years, I have been exploring how to build images by myself, behind the camera.
As a photographer, I enjoy shooting men or women equally. Beyond gender or sexuality, I love to shoot humans & capture their natural beauty essence. This beauty can be revealed in studio conditions, in a real place like one’s house or a nice hotel, as well as outdoor in a natural scenery under the sun light.
We can make intimate portraits, expressive attitudes, fashion-like images, boudoir photography, semi-naked or fully-naked body…it will be all about your limits and your inspirations.
My frame & my style will garantee the artistic elevation & the ultimate result that beautifies you.
Whoever you are – an influencer aiming at feeding one’s social accounts, a model willing to enrich one’s book, or just someone enjoying photoshoots – feel free to reach me. I will get back to you with my interest & inspiring ideas eventually. The pride in my model’s eyes is what motivates me the most. If my photos can help men or women in their self-esteem, their personal comfort or for their inner radiance, then I get my reward. All photoshoots are free of charge and I am then very selective in choosing my models.
Most of the studio style images are made at my house where I store my technical material.
All photos in a different scenery can be shot elsewhere, at your home, in a nice place, in a hotel, in urban locations or completely outdoor in the countryside.
The way I work is collaborative and based on mutual trust & permanent exchange.
1. I will share with you creative ideas & a selection of reference images so that you can choose and give me a feedback.
2. Once aligned together, I will build the Pre-Production Meeting sheet (PPM) where all details will be covered : location & time, photos order, clothes & accessories to bring, skin & make up effect, lighting & backgrounds. The PPM will be accessible online.
3. The D day, we will follow the PPM sheet so that the time is completely optimized & you are not surprised by anything. While shooting, I will guide you, suggest ideas & give feedback at any time.
4. Then I will select 2-3 variations per image so that we can choose the very best one before retouching & beautifying.
Generally, I shoot 7-8 images in a 3-4 hour photoshoot, depending on the difficulty of each image and changes in the studio set that are required between the different images (change the light ; change the background, change the model outfit, change the make up, etc.)
Before the photoshoot, you will be asked to complete & sign an image property rights contract that will authorize you and me to publish the finalized images on our social accounts & our websites, the frame being that any use for commercial activity is prohibited.
