BEHIND MAY

I am not one of those people who, from high school, knew exactly what they wanted to be or how they were going to shape their life. My path has been anything but linear: a journey that has included dreams of becoming a professional ballet dancer, an anthropologist, an interior designer, a psychologist, and a sociologist. It was at the intersection of these varied interests that photography came to me. It has become more than just a hobby: a true vocation. Looking back now, I realize that each step of my journey has prepared me to capture the essence of human moments with sensitivity and depth.

 

Being a photographer is not just about pressing a shutter. It is above all a way of putting others at the heart of my work. My role is to create a space where you can be yourself, where your emotions and your unique moments are celebrated. Each image I capture tells a story: yours.

 

My goal is to transform the ephemeral into the timeless, to capture what makes you and your moments something unique. Together, we create tangible memories, timeless capsules that reflect the beauty and authenticity of your experiences.

My values are rooted in freedom, uniqueness and authenticity. I believe in celebrating human diversity and creating a space where everyone can fully live and express their love story. Open-mindedness and kindness are therefore at the heart of each encounter, guiding each moment I share with my clients.


I place great importance on excellence, both in the quality of service and in the rendering of images. My commitment is to offer you a memorable experience, where every detail counts. Creativity and originality are my driving forces. I seek to create photographs that are not only beautiful, but that arouse deep emotion, creating timeless images that tell a story and recall, with each glance, the unique beauty of those who appear in them.

My style is frank, expressive with a touch of nostalgic curiosity. I particularly like to photograph intimate moments, movement and explore different angles. In order to paint the portrait of our session, I always try to capture the complete experience by taking the time to photograph the details, the emotions and the scene as a whole.

It is also important for me to approach each session with a new perspective, a vision adjusted to yours and your needs.

As for my retouching style, it varies and adapts depending on the type of session. That said, I like slightly warm tones that highlight all skin textures, the play of contrast, shadow and light that give a vaporous atmosphere and a dreamy air to my shots.
