Portraits for freelancers, professionals and shop owners
When you work under your own name, your portrait is your shop window. It reassures people before the first meeting and makes you recognisable. I photograph freelancers, professionals and shop owners from Montpellier and the Hérault at the studio in Gignac, 20 minutes away via the A750.
A real face on your profile and your CV builds trust, with clients and recruiters alike.
Google Business, Doctolib, professional directories: your clients and patients know who they will meet before the appointment.
A consistent image across your printed materials, ready to send for an article, a conference or a podcast.

A professional portrait built step by step
This is not an ID photo. I take the time needed for the portrait to look like you and serve your goal.
1The starting point
We talk about your work, your clients and how the photos will be used. This conversation sets the intention of the portrait: reassuring, confident or approachable.
2Light, set up for you
I adjust the lighting to your face, your skin tone and your glasses if you wear them, then watch how the light falls on you.
3Feeling at ease
We start with simple poses. I show you the images as we go so we can adjust posture, gaze and expression.
4Finding the intention
Little by little, we refine until we get the right image. It is a real process, and that is where the portrait gets its strength.
An individual session lasts between 45 minutes and 1 hour. Then we choose the best images together, I retouch them by hand and deliver them within 48 hours.
Choose your studio background
At the studio, you choose the background that suits your field and your media. These are the shades I use most often, photographed during sessions.
You can combine several backgrounds in the same session: a light one for your website, a dark one for LinkedIn.
What your portrait session includes
- A conversation about your work and how you will use your photos
- The shoot at the studio in Gignac, on the background of your choice
- 1 to 3 photos retouched by hand depending on the package, with a natural look
- Delivery within 48 hours, in high resolution and web versions
Optional extras: more retouched photos, extra backgrounds and outfits, or a few images at your workplace. For a session at your workplace, travel is added. The price depends on these choices: I'll send you a detailed quote.
