The experience of a shoot with me

(Photographer & videographer)

I don’t like moulds, so I do things a bit differently. Here is what it’s like to work with me, my philosophy behind photography, and how our collaboration unfolds, from the first message to the delivery of the images.

authenticity ✺ intimacy ✺ permission to evolve ✺ softness ✺ kindness ✺ connection ✺ friendship

01

First exchange

Your project. Tell me what you have in mind through the contact form: your brand or your moment of life, the place, the dates, the mood.

Getting to know each other. We talk to make sure we are a good fit — it matters: a good session relies on connection.

02

Quote & preparation

Tailor-made. I send you a quote adapted to your project. For brands, I organise everything around the needs of each campaign or event.

Preparing together. Place, light, mood, outfits: up to 3 outfits per session, rather neutral, that make you feel beautiful and comfortable.

03

The day

A safe space. I won’t make you pose. I won’t make you pretend. I won’t stage anything. You can wear makeup if you want to, but you don’t have to.

Digital & film. I shoot photo and video on digital and on film, for individuals and brands. Grain and yellowy hues are my favourite things on earth.

04

Editing

Light & colours. I only edit light and colours. I won’t edit your body: you are perfect as you are.

No RAW. I never send digital RAW files: editing is half of the work.

05

Delivery

Within two weeks. I deliver the images within 2 business weeks, in a beautiful online gallery.

Your choice. You choose your photos: pick the ones you want to keep from the gallery.

06

Usage rights

Individuals. Print rights are included: print your photos however you want, as many times as you want.

Brands. Every licence is tailored to the use (organic, paid, print…), the company type and its size.

A photoshoot isn’t good because of the model or the photographer alone: it is good because there is a connection between them.

Photographs are lifelong memories. I believe in quality over quantity, always.

(The one behind the camera)

mathilde ✺ lagarrigue

I spent most of my teenage years playing with my parents’ Kodak camera, and then with all the beautiful cameras that passed through my hands. For 18 years, I have been learning to capture and sublimate faces, places, objects and light.

It is not just about pretty pictures for me. I am your mirror. I am here to hold a safe space, meet the real you and give my all to translate it visually, with kindness and care.

(Kind words)
