Portraits of artists
Portrait photographer near Toulon: artists and performers
Since 2005, I have photographed artists (music, film, dance) and figures from the cultural world. I favour authenticity and natural light, to capture what makes each person unique.
The artist portrait
Actor, musician, singer or public figure: a portrait must reveal a personality while meeting practical needs (press, communication, social media, production kits).
This gallery mainly brings together portraits taken at the Porquerolles Film Festival, along with studio and outdoor sessions in Provence and on the French Riviera.
Natural light
Outdoors or indoors, in daylight, these portraits gain softness and ease. Porquerolles, the Var and Provence offer exceptional settings and light.
The Porquerolles Film Festival
Official photographer of the Porquerolles Film Festival since its creation, I photograph actors, directors and figures from French and international cinema.
Among them: Juliette Binoche, Gérard Jugnot, Jean-Marc Barr, Vahina Giocante, Charles Berling, Élie Semoun, Bruno Solo, and many young talents.
Musicians and singers
I create portraits and visuals for concerts and album covers: Alexandre Kinn, Élodie Frégé, Charles Carmignac, Noush Skaugen, Bat.G, Omri Schwafield…

An author photographer for your portraits
I don’t make standardised portraits. Every session is designed around the person, their world and what they want to express. I work very intuitively: the relationship with the person being photographed is essential.
How I work:
- a conversation beforehand, to understand your needs and your world;
- choosing a place and a light that suit you;
- discreet direction, to let your natural self come through;
- careful retouching, never excessive;
- high-resolution files, ready to use.
Are you an artist, musician or actor?
Need portraits for your communication, the press or social media? Write to me to talk about it.
