Elegant, feminine and editorial portraits for women in Monaco and the French Riviera.
Private photo sessions in Monte-Carlo, on the Côte d’Azur and in the most beautiful hotels, villas and outdoor locations.
More than a photoshoot
You don’t need another set of ordinary portraits.
This is a private editorial experience created around you — your style, your personality and the way you want to be seen.
Whether you imagine elegant portraits in Monte-Carlo, a fashion-inspired session on the Riviera, or something more intimate and sensual in the privacy of your hotel suite, every session is carefully planned to feel natural and look exceptional.

Your story, my vision
Before the shoot, we discuss your ideas, outfits and the atmosphere you want to create.
I help you choose the location, plan the visual direction and guide you throughout the session, so you never have to worry about posing or knowing what to do in front of the camera.
The goal is not to make you look like someone else.
It is to create photographs that feel like the most refined version of you.

About me
I’m Ale, a photographer based in Italy and working across Europe.
My approach combines natural light, authentic emotion and an artistic editorial vision.
I’m interested not only in how you look, but in how you feel, move and express yourself in front of the camera.
I guide and direct you throughout the session, helping you feel comfortable while bringing out your individuality. Together, we create photographs that feel artistic, refined and personal — a true reflection of you, seen through my perspective.

Catherine Stevenson
It’s been such a pleasure working with Ale. He made something that was new and a little awkward for me feel fun and enjoyable. He was attentive, supportive, kind and professional throughout. I’m delighted with the results.
He really listened to what I wanted, understood my needs and gave me some beautiful photographs for my website and social media.
If you want a natural, authentic and creative experience that captures the real you, he’s the guy to choose!
Alena Ste
Ale, I immediately wanted to share the photos with my family, and everyone unanimously said, “That’s really you!”
I came to the shoot feeling a little nervous and shy. But as soon as I walked into the studio, I immediately felt comfortable and at ease. The photos captured me exactly as I am — thoughtful, gentle and natural.
These photographs are truly unique and will always hold a special place in my memories and in my heart.
Ale, thank you for seeing beyond the surface and capturing something that truly reaches the soul.
Create something that feels entirely yours.
