Praise

"I adore my model test-style photoshoots: minimal makeup, no elaborate hairstyling, no outfits or poses that aren't my own. And minimal retouching. Because one day I'll want to remember my former self—the real me, not someone with a fake face. And Elena always helps me with this. Her gift for capturing what's real is priceless."

“How I love it when photographers send photos for selection 😊 and even more so when it happens on the very same day as the photoshoot!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Now I'm faced with the tough choice of which ones to pick 😍.”

“I'm incredibly grateful to Elena for these photos. She is an unbelievably easy-going and positive person: no showing off, no pretense, just kind and responsive. From the first minute, she treated me like a "sunshine" 😊, the conversation flowed as if with a friend, and the hour-long photoshoot flew by in what felt like 5 minutes. Thank you for your lightheartedness, sunny mood, and smiles, despite the gloomy weather, and, of course, for your professionalism 😘”

Frequently Asked Questions

I feel awkward in front of the camera. Can you help with posing?

Absolutely. In fact, almost every client feels this way, and it’s my job to make you feel completely at ease. My sessions are guided and collaborative, not based on stiff, unnatural poses. Through conversation and gentle direction, we’ll create a relaxed environment where your genuine confidence and personality can shine through. The goal is to capture you looking natural and feeling like the best version of yourself.

What should I wear for my branding session?

This is a key part of our pre-session consultation. The best outfits are ones that align with your personal brand and make you feel confident. I generally recommend solid, classic colors and avoiding busy patterns or large logos. The most important thing is that the clothes fit you perfectly. We will discuss all of this in detail to select a wardrobe that perfectly matches your professional goals.

How many final images will I receive?

My focus is always on quality over quantity. After our session, I meticulously review every shot to select only the most powerful and authentic images that truly represent you.

To give you a clear idea, our foundational branding session includes a curated gallery of 10 masterfully edited, high-resolution images. This collection is designed to provide you with a versatile and impactful portfolio, perfect for your LinkedIn, website, and press features. More comprehensive packages with additional images are also available, which we can discuss during our consultation

Do you offer hair and makeup services?

Yes, I work with a team of highly talented professional hair and makeup artists here in Milan who specialize in camera-ready looks. I highly recommend this option to all my clients as it ensures you look and feel your absolute best and allows you to relax before the session even begins. We can easily add this service to your package upon request.

LinkedIn profile pictures: How soon will I get my photos?

After approval, a private selection gallery is delivered within about two weeks, with edited images optimized for LinkedIn and branding.

Executive portraits: do you offer them?

Yes. Executive portraits are available in studio or on-location, crafted for leadership pages, speaker bios, investor decks, and press—formal yet natural, with lighting and direction that convey authority and approachability.
