Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am a documentary photographer based in Paris, specializing in reportage, culture, portraits, and images with strong narrative value.

Freelance since 2023, I support brands, institutions, artists, hotels, restaurants, and cultural events looking for a sensitive, precise vision capable of telling a story.

My approach combines documentary rigor, field immersion, and a cinematic aesthetic inherited from my experience in art direction in an advertising agency. I work carefully on light, gesture, and presence to produce coherent, lively, and ready-to-publish images.

What I do:

• Documentary reportage (culture, crafts, performances, heritage)

• Editorial, corporate & artist portraits

• Event reportage (performances, conferences, workshops)

• Visual content for hotels, restaurants, and premium brands

• Short video: interviews, clips, making-of

• Professional retouching (Lightroom / Photoshop), reliable and controlled workflow

What I bring:

• A strong artistic vision, adapted to your needs

• Great adaptability, both in the studio and in the field

• A precise understanding of brand and communication challenges

• Real efficiency on deadlines

• Images that enhance your identity, your team, or your event

I am available for short assignments as well as larger projects, in France or internationally.
