Quality
Beside the conventional technical criteria (composition, exposition, sharpness, resolution, etc.), we believe that a good image is an image that communicate a message and that you don’t forget. A good image is more than an illustration, it must generate enthusiasm from the viewer. That could be obtained by capturing the right moment (emotion, expression), and by lightning, staging a portrait or a product photograph.
Timeless Style
Real beauty is timeless and passes true for centuries. That’s why, where it’s during the photo session, or during the retouching process, we choose not to follow the trendy mood, but skip on what some would name classical, natural, minimalism. We want our image to be vibrant, dynamic, and kindle passion. For that purpose, we pay extreme attention to details, when we took the pictures (hands, attitude, gaze, shadows, colors, contrast), and when we enhance it (natural colors, texture, noise, deformation).
Customer Experience
As a local photographer, we value our customers and make everything simple and efficient for them.
We like people with high expectation, and we understand than most people are not professional photographers. We only make clear promises we can take and found a way to be convenient for your requirements specifications (when working with a professional).
That’s why we consider it’s our job to give your clear information and clear advice on how to prepare for your photos.

Other Photography services for personal
Without pretending to be specialized in the following niches, I am happy to offer photography service with the same level of professionalism.
Seniors and graduated
When you are a Senior College in France, you don’t do this kind of image. Though I have never had the opportunity to capture such pictures. Watching the work of other photographers in Rochester, MN, I have discovered that there is a bunch of style used, and it seems pretty fun!
New Born
I have taken my soon, my brother’s daughter, and some friends’ daughter pictures. Indeed, it’s a one-lifetime event you want to remember.
I keep it simple, with a refined and minimalist design to focus on the baby. Unlike the huge newborn photography industry, I don’t use props and I don’t over retouch the pictures. So if you prefer pictures of your child with numerous baskets, wrap in several colors blankets, materials, hats, maybe you should contact a specialized photographer. There are some in the Cities and in Byron.
Boudoir
Ten years ago I have shot an Aubade style calendar for Stewart who wanted to offer her fiancé a surprise gift. I keep a good memory of this experience, composing with the light and the human curves to create artistic and sexy pics.
Some photographer is specialized in the boudoir, offering a studio with a bed, furniture, background, makeup and even lingerie!
Well, I am not. I would keep it simple, using a clear wall as, or a studio backdrop as the background of your images.
Photography services for companies
Products
We do all kinds of products photographs, from the simple, clear packshot that reflects the object, to a more creative and sophisticated achievement, that enhance your product.
Real estate
We do real estate photography locally. We understand the need and the obligations of the market. That’s why are we offering a fast delivery. What’s more ur image is bright, clean, objective, and found the best angles to start enthusiasm from the viewer.

Each commercial photography is different. From the pictures of an object, to an elaborated and staged photograph, including several actors. It’s usually realized in a controlled and lightened decor.
Food
Food photography is a real art. In order to kindle the viewer appetite, we work with the colors, the materials to create a synesthesia.
Photo Booth
We have designed a chic Photo Booth that we are happy to rent during events. It’s simple, and offer guests a unique keepsake.
Our Skills and Experience
We are probably the one only photography studio in town, with two degrees in photography!
Indeed, I am graduated from 3 years in university in Paris, and a 5-year degree in a famous Art School in Paris (École Normale Supérieur des Arts décoratifs).
What’s more, I have been an assistant of fashion and commercial photographer. Not only I allowed me to travel the world to shoot campaigns but also gave me a clear understanding of company’s needs and expectations.
In addition to that, I have been a teacher in a Photography School (university level).
In other words, I believe I am probably one of the most degraded professional compared to other photographers in Rochester, MN.
All the theoretical, practical knowledge, allow me to conduct almost any photography project from A to Z, handling each step of the process.
