Paris Fashion Photographer — Editorial, Runway, Campaign & Lookbook Specialist

Based in the vibrant fashion capital of the world, Paris, I am a dedicated fashion photographer with years of experience bringing creative visions to life. My work spans editorial shoots, runway coverage, lookbooks, advertising campaigns, and brand storytelling. I collaborate closely with designers, stylists, models, makeup artists, casting directors, and creative teams to create compelling, timeless images that resonate within the highly competitive fashion industry.

A Passion for Fashion Photography Rooted in Parisian Excellence

Fashion photography is about more than just capturing clothes — it’s about telling stories through imagery that highlight style, emotion, movement, and atmosphere. Paris offers a unique blend of historic charm and cutting-edge modernity, providing endless inspiration for dynamic shoots. Whether in iconic locations such as the Louvre, Palais Royal, or along the Seine, or in intimate, curated studios, I focus on creating images that express the soul of the collection and the personality of the model.

Comprehensive Fashion Shoot Planning & Execution

Successful fashion photography relies on meticulous planning and coordination. I manage every step to ensure smooth execution, including:

Concept Development: Collaborating with creative directors and stylists to define the artistic vision, mood, and themes of the shoot.

Location Scouting: Identifying diverse and inspiring locations across Paris and its surroundings — from classic Parisian streets to modern architectural sites and hidden gems.

Location Permitting: Navigating the administrative processes to secure necessary permits for shooting in public or private spaces, ensuring full compliance with local regulations.

Casting & Model Scouting: Partnering with casting agents or scouting directly to find models who embody the desired look, energy, and attitude for each project.

Team Coordination: Arranging makeup artists, hairstylists, wardrobe stylists, assistants, and lighting technicians — assembling a cohesive team that elevates the shoot quality.

Scheduling & Logistics: Managing timelines, travel, equipment, and contingency plans to guarantee efficient shooting days without compromises.
