Business. Fashion. Beauty.
Over 20 years of experience in fashion and portrait photography.
I work with FashionTV, carried out major editorial projects for Vogue Italia, and have been published in numerous magazines.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Session Organization and Process
How does the booking and preparation process work?
After contact, we arrange available dates and the type of photoshoot — business portrait, beauty, fashion, or sensual. Based on a short brief, a technical offer is prepared specifying: the location (photography studio, outdoor, or mobile studio), number of outfits, retouching scope, and approximate session duration.
Before the photoshoot, guidance is sent regarding wardrobe, makeup, and possible collaboration with a stylist or makeup artist.
All logistical details are arranged in advance to ensure the session day focuses solely on the photoshoot.
How long does a typical session last and what affects its duration?
The portrait session duration depends on the number of outfits, the complexity of makeup, and the type of shots. A standard portrait session lasts 60–120 minutes, while beauty or fashion sessions may require additional time for styling and lighting preparation.
Sensual photoshoots are usually conducted at a relaxed pace to ensure full comfort and freedom of posing.
The schedule is arranged individually and adapted to the participant's needs.
Is a consultation about style and wardrobe offered before the photoshoot?
Yes — a consultation is a standard part of preparation. The session's goal, aesthetic (e.g., natural, glamour, artistic), outfit range, and preferred colors are discussed.
Based on this, a list of recommendations is prepared regarding clothing, accessories, and makeup.
The aim of the consultation is to shorten shooting time and achieve a cohesive final effect.
What does the day of the session look like from arrival to completion?
Upon arrival, backgrounds and lighting are prepared, lighting tests and trial shots are conducted.
Then the planned shots are carried out in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, with the possibility of adjustments during the session.
After the session, a preliminary selection of shots is made and shared with the client for review.
The chosen photos are retouched and delivered in the agreed formats.
Style, Lighting, and Background
How are the background and style of the photos chosen?
The background is chosen depending on the photoshoot style — plain backgrounds work well for classic portraits and beauty shots, while environmental elements can be used for lifestyle or fashion sessions.
What lighting is used during the session?
Depending on the portrait photoshoot style, different lighting setups are used — from soft beauty light (e.g., softbox, beauty dish), through classic side portrait lighting, to more contrasty editorial/fashion setups.
It is also possible to combine natural light with flash lighting.
Can I suggest my own style or visual inspirations?
Of course — a moodboard or sample photos are welcome and help to choose the appropriate lighting, framing, and session atmosphere. Inspirations can relate to posing style, color palette, and emotional expression.
Posing and Comfort
I have no experience in front of the camera — will I receive posing guidance?
Yes — portrait photoshoots are conducted in an instructional way. I guide you in real-time on how to position your body, hands, and facial expressions.
Is privacy and comfort ensured during sensual sessions?
Yes — sensual photoshoots are conducted in a discreet, closed environment. Only the necessary personnel are present, and all shots are reviewed and executed only within the previously approved scope.
Selection and Retouching
Who chooses the photos for retouching — me or the photographer?
After the photo session, you receive a gallery of pre-selected (unretouched) shots, from which you choose the photos for final retouching.
If requested, I can also suggest the best frames.
What does retouching involve, and can I decide on its scope?
Retouching includes skin correction, light modeling, removal of minor imperfections, and color adjustment.
The scope can be natural or more advanced — depending on the session style.
The preferred level of intervention is agreed upon before retouching begins.
Photo Delivery and Copyright
In what format will I receive the finished photos?
Photos are delivered digitally (high-resolution JPG format).
Additional formats (e.g., TIFF, print-ready versions) or premium prints are available upon request.
Can I publish the photos on social media?
Yes — along with the photos, you receive the right for private use and social media publication.
It is polite to credit the photographer, but it is not mandatory.
Payments and Collaboration Terms
What are the payment terms and is a deposit required?
Booking a date requires a 50% deposit.
The remaining amount is paid right after the photo session.
Do you offer express photo delivery and fast retouching after the session?
Yes — express retouching is available for those needing results quickly (e.g., for CVs, portfolios, social media, or ad campaigns).
Next-day delivery after the portrait photoshoot — +50% of the photoshoot cost.
Delivery within 2–3 business days — +25% of the photoshoot cost.
