“A portrait must hold the essential.”
BENJAMIN LÉOTOT
Studio 181
I am Benjamin Léotot, a portrait photographer based in Florange, Moselle, France and founder of Studio 181.
I create sober, cinematic black and white portraits designed to reveal presence, gaze and identity.
I photograph private clients, chefs, artists, executives and public figures with the same standard: creating strong, understated and timeless images.
I always come to my clients, at home or in their establishment, adapting to their surroundings. I work across France, Luxembourg and Monaco.
