Cinematic black and white portraits, and editorial gastronomy photography shaped with the same attention to light, texture and presence.
A portrait does not need to be commissioned for a campaign or publication. It can simply be made for yourself, as a gift, for your family, or to keep a faithful trace of someone at a particular moment in their life.
You do not need to be a chef, artist or public figure to step in front of my camera. The Signature Portrait is also for private clients who want a strong, carefully made and timeless image of themselves or someone close to them.
No heavy setup or hours of preparation: I work with natural light, simple direction of the gaze, face and hands, and minimal post-production. The aim is not to transform you, but to make a portrait that feels like you and is worth keeping.
I do not photograph a status, but a person. Every session begins with a conversation: taking the time to understand a personality, observe a gesture, a gaze, a posture and what naturally comes through.
Direction is precise but simple: gaze, head position, hands and light. My camera and workflow are prepared to build the image at the moment of capture; what appears on screen is already very close to the final result, with intentionally minimal post-production.
For private clients, chefs, artists, executives, entrepreneurs and public figures.

On location
Based in Florange, Moselle, I always come to you: at home, in your restaurant, luxury hotel or business. I adapt to your surroundings. Travel is included in the price, with no additional charge.
Time tailored to your project
The fee covers the agreed photographic work: the portraits or dishes to photograph, the final images and their intended uses. The session takes the time needed to deliver that work. Any additional requests are agreed together.
Delivery
For digital sessions, an initial selection can be delivered on the day of the shoot, depending on the project and image selection. The delivery date for the full set is agreed before the session. Film portraits require development and scanning.
Private client or public figure, I photograph everyone with the same standards: a discreet presence, clear direction and a controlled result from the moment of capture. For professional commissions, delivery and usage rights are then adapted to the project.

Website, social media, press, institutional communication, campaigns or display: usage requirements are defined in advance and included in the proposal, so the scope is clear from the outset.
You introduce the person and what you would like to keep from the session. For a professional project, we also define the context and intended uses.
I explain the session, delivery and fee clearly. Usage rights are specified only when they are relevant.
We take time to talk first, then the portrait session is directed with precision and ease.
The images are finalised and delivered at full resolution. For digital sessions, an initial selection can be delivered the same day; the delivery date for the full set is agreed beforehand.
Maison, palace, restaurant, agency or public figure: simply tell me the context, location, who needs to be photographed and the intended destination of the images. I then build the proposal around the actual requirements of the project.
For yourself, someone close to you, your animal or a professional commission: a few lines are enough to begin. I will come back to you with a clear framework tailored to the request.
An initial conversation comes with no obligation.
