Through the use of quality lighting, body language, strong composition and the meaningful connection developed with the subject, truth and reality are revealed on both the part of the subject and the photographer as they each demonstrate what they are truly about. Having knowledge of appropriate lighting, graphic design as well as knowledge of ourselves and of others, we enable ourselves to attain the portrait’s purpose which is to create timeless images by revealing their personality with authenticity.

We will demonstrate through the use of today’s technological advances how we can empower ourselves to push our limits far beyond what we thought possible. We will also demonstrate how basic knowledge of « Corel Painter » software as a medium and useful tool will accentuate your images’strong points. We hope to stimulate you and open the door to a world of new possibilities and a higher artistic level by creating images which will carry with them style and a unique signature;

We have been a couple and a team since 1975, the year when we first established our studio. Since then, we have never stopped investing in our profession, which eventually led us into a successful career filled with the delights and challenges of portrait photography. The continuous and restless effort we put in our work gradually came to be recognized through numerous prizes we received as well as the seminars we were requested to give for the passion and high quality of our images.

We consider the portrait a sacred art. Our subjects take place under carefully monitored lighting, through refined and meticulous rules of composition , one’s personality expresses itself , and this with a human and warm welcoming approach.

Our reputation has crossed various frontiers as our presence is requested in many places to share our knowledge with colleagues and meet wonderful people.

In the last ten years, we were frequently invited to teach seminars in France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Austria, The Philippines, Martinique, Canada and the United States. We are still very involved in teaching seminars today and continue to gain experience in this aspect of our profession.

In addition, we are part of the EASTMAN KODAK Pro Mentor Team which enables us to travel and teach throughout the United States.

The love and passion that we invest in our profession is reflected in each image, because a subject who feels respected, loved and valued will disclose his or her complete authenticity.
