The Creative Collaboration

Step 1: Concept & Moodboard

Our journey begins with a creative consultation where we develop a concept. We'll build a shared moodboard to define the art direction, styling, and a detailed shot list to ensure we are perfectly aligned with the vision.

Step 2: The Studio or On-Location Shoot

This is where the vision comes to life. A focused, high-energy session either in-studio or at a carefully selected Milan location. I provide expert direction to capture a range of powerful poses and expressions.

Step 3: Your Editorial-Ready Gallery

Within two weeks, you will receive a gallery of professionally retouched, high-resolution images. Each photo is meticulously edited to meet the demanding standards of the fashion and beauty industry.

An Investment in Your Brand

Fashion & Beauty sessions begin at €400.

I offer tailored packages for model portfolios, brand lookbooks, and editorial projects. Please get in touch to discuss your creative needs and receive a custom proposal.

Your Questions, Answered

Do you work with modeling agencies?

Yes, I frequently collaborate with modeling agencies in Milan and beyond to develop new faces and update existing model portfolios. I understand the specific shot requirements agencies look for and can tailor the session accordingly.

Should I bring a professional makeup artist and stylist?

For a fashion or beauty shoot, a professional team is essential for achieving a polished, editorial result. I highly recommend it and can connect you with my network of talented, Milan-based makeup artists, hair stylists, and fashion stylists.

How should I prepare for my model portfolio session?

During our concept phase, we will create a detailed plan. Generally, you should arrive with clean hair and a natural face. We will have a variety of outfits planned and a clear creative direction to follow for the looks we need to capture.

How many looks and images are included?

Our foundational model portfolio package is designed to capture different looks and includes a final gallery of 10 professionally retouched images. This provides the essential variety needed for a strong, versatile portfolio. Custom packages are available for more extensive projects
