Le Comptoir Beauté

Portraits where setting, colour and gesture work together: a group composition against dark wood, and an individual portrait surrounded by flowers.

Three women posed beside pampas grass against dark wooden panelling.

Narrative imagery

A scene with a story.

From an intimate portrait to a dramatic composition, light and setting give the image its atmosphere.

The approach

Preparation gives the image room to happen.

01 · Intention

Start with the story.

The person, the brand and the purpose of the image shape the visual direction.

02 · Preparation

Build the atmosphere.

Lighting, location and composition are considered together before the shoot.

03 · The portrait

Give each frame time.

Thoughtful direction and attention to small details, with the emphasis on a focused set of strong images.
