About
With over 35 years of experience in photography between Paris and New-York, my career began assisting master photographers for Vogue, leading me to international publications and advertising campaigns with 50 covers and 500 pages of editorials.
Today, I bring that same high-end expertise to both corporations and individuals—creating polished commercial imagery, professional headshots, compelling portraits, and actor portfolios, as well as documenting meaningful moments for families.
My goal is always the same: to reveal authenticity, personality, and beauty in every image, whether it’s for your business, your personal brand, or a special occasion.
Serious inquiries only, please. My prices are negotiable depending on the scope of your project—reach out to discuss what you have in mind. My fashion website is available upon request.
Thank you

I am the type of person who finds it challenging to pose by myself, nonetheless in group photos or for something formal. I am also very anxious and its difficult for me to relax into my body. This was my first photo shoot and Michel made me feel like none of that mattered. He made me feel comfortable, beautiful and modelesque. Like another reviewer said, he brings no ego. He is kind, humble and talented. I didnt need any enhancements or crazy edits to look gorgeous. His expertise in photography, use of light, and posing suggestions made my photos look incredible. He took the time out to make sure we were working together toward our common goal and that I received photos I was happy with. I look forward to working with him again soon.

Michel is one of the best photographers I've worked with; and I've worked with many. He made my photoshoot such a joyful and effortless experience. He's not only incredibly talented, but also deeply attentive to the small details - the subtle angles, tiny shifts in posture, or lighting that can completely transform a shot.What truly stood out is how much he cares. His priority isn't just getting through the session, but making sure you get photos you'll love. That kind of heart and precision is rare.He's shot celebrities, models, and global campaigns, and yet brings zero ego. Just calm confidence and mastery that puts you instantly at ease.After 20+ years of doing professional shoots, I can confidently say Michel is one of the best, if not the best, I've ever worked with.Thank you, Michel, for a fantastic session. I'm already looking forward to working with you again soon!

Michel is the best photographer I've worked with!I got my graduation photos taken with him and he was just so fun to work with! I'm not very good at posing for professional things but he helped and worked with me in doing the poses and even made sure that my hair was perfect for the photos. He checks the photos with you and makes sure that you really like them. You can really tell that he cares about making you feel comfortable and satisfied with the photos. I even got my photos early the next day too!He's very professional and also such good conversation! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer!!!

5 stars all around for Michel and team. We did a pregnancy photoshoot in a studio, and didnt know much about how to proceed. He made it all quite simple.Photography was amazing. Did a great job with lighting, angles and guiding us through different poses. He was very detailed oriented but not overwhelming either.Had a highly supportive attitude through the process from setting up to execution. Communicated very well throughout our time together too. After the shoot we got photos to finalize and then final copies seamlessly.Highly recommend Micel, we hope to have him capture many memories over the upcoming years.
