To make the exciting stages of the life of a family or of a person indelible…
A portrait, either private or artistic, requires the human touch behind the camera. The dialogue between the subject(s) and the professional is the result of essential effort during which the initial shyness is eliminated and clears the way for spontaneity and the desire to perform with each other, to play with the light and maybe present a personal accessory that defines you. Finally, careful and professional post-production (editing) will give the portrait the final touch, resulting in an impressive, unique image that will be enjoyed for decades.
I wish you a good light!
