Settings and locations in Cherbourg

The wild beaches of the Manche and the Cap de La Hague for portraits in powerful nature, the Old Port and the roadstead for urban, graphic moods, the streets of Cherbourg-en-Cotentin for contemporary portraits. I also bring my mobile studio for at-home sessions across the area.

My approach

A documentary eye.

I work in natural light, at your family’s pace — no frozen poses. The wind and the shifting skies of the Cotentin give the images character, and that is exactly what I look for.

Travel fees may apply (€0.40 per kilometre) · always set out clearly in the quote.
