What clients say
“We hired nicolas for a corporate photoshoot of our salesteam and it was the best photoshoot we had yet! Our president said : « best profile picture he ever had! » everyone is very satisfied with their shot! Thanks nico”
“Nicolas did a phenomenal job photographing our event and a superb job throughout.”
“We had a great experience this afternoon taking our team photos. Nicolas managed to make me smile without me looking tense, which is quite an achievement. He is very professional and his photos are superb. I highly recommend him.”
“Great corporate headshots!”
“Nicolas was thoughtful, contributed valuable insights, and an excellent communicator. I would not hesitate to work with Nicolas again if the opportunity arises in future!”
“His expertise in brand strategy, marketing and commercialisation was instrumental to reaching our 2022 goals.”
A pre-production call before every shoot day settles the shot list: who is photographed, where, and what each image is for. When the company sends its own photo direction, as Sephora and Google did, I plan the day around it.
I direct executive portraits and team photos in minutes, with quick and specific prompts, in English and French. The session fits inside an executive's calendar, not the other way around.
I photograph the keynotes and panels, plus the conversations and reactions between them, which are the photos your communications team uses all year. I never interrupt speakers, and I move quietly around the room.
The same background, light and framing at every location, so a team photographed in two cities on two days looks like one set. New hires are photographed against the original setup later.
The first edited photos arrive within 24 hours when the deadline is tight, often the same day between sessions, so your team can post during the event.
All edited photos arrive within one week, with usage rights for your website, LinkedIn, annual report and internal communications.
Selected work
Common questions
Conferences, summits, galas, town halls and the people who run them. Along with keynotes and panels, I photograph the conversations and reactions between them. Your communications team leaves with photos it can use all year.
Yes, and they are most of the job. Executive portraits are directed in minutes, with clear and simple prompts, so nobody stands around feeling managed. The session fits inside their calendar, not the other way around.
Yes. One setup, measured and noted: the same background, light positions and framing at every location. A business photographed in two cities on two days looks like one set, and new hires are photographed against the original setup later.
Both, natively, in the same hour. Quebec French with the crew, English with the client, or the reverse, with nothing lost between them. Bilingual sets are normal here, and the direction has to be too.
The first edited photos arrive within 24 hours, often the same day between sessions, so your team can post during the event. Sephora's country general manager had his photo the same day for a LinkedIn post. The full edited gallery follows within one week.
Yes. The licence covers the company's own channels, website, LinkedIn, annual report, press and internal communications, with no time limit. Usage is settled in the brief, before the day.
One shoot can serve both, and it usually should. A conference or workplace shoot, planned with your communications and HR teams together, feeds recruitment pages, internal channels, and the annual report from one budget. The workplace is shot as it actually looks, which is what candidates trust.
An image library the team can run for a year: careers site, LinkedIn, job posts and internal screens, with usage rights that cover all of them. The people in it are real employees in real spaces, and I direct them so they look relaxed. Croesus's CEO published the summit images on social, and they went on to carry the careers page.
