Photographer working with a large format camera in the La Chancelle studio

The Studio

The studio at La Chancelle is a calm, intimate space designed for portrait sessions in a peaceful and controlled environment. Light is shaped with care—natural or sculpted—depending on the mood and intention of the moment.

Each session begins with a quiet conversation: a moment to settle in, exchange thoughts, and set the tone. Creating a climate of trust is essential if the portrait is to reveal something true.

The studio also serves as a mini-gallery. Several portraits hang on the walls, offering visitors a first glimpse into the sensitive world of those who have posed here.

The studio is equipped with a high-resolution digital camera—a brand that once travelled to the Moon—as well as a large-format view camera. Thanks to its movements, the view camera allows for more natural-looking images, with precise control over perspective and depth of field.
