A still can carry thunder. Each image she makes holds the echo. This is where presence turns to permanence.
Roux is a working studio based in Europe. She photographs on assignment across Italy, France, and beyond, often working alone with both film and digital formats. Her process draws as much from cinematography as it does from photojournalism every frame composed like a still from a larger scene. This isn’t portraiture for legacy albums. It’s for those living in the middle of it where things blur, shift, and breathe. Clients come to Roux not for poses, but for presence. Her work isn’t curated, it’s capture, haped by trust, movement, and instinct.
Every commission is approached like a collaboration. From pre-shoot coordination to final selects, the experience is designed to serve clarity and intimacy without performance. Roux’s eye isn’t fixed on aesthetics alone she’s watching for the in between. What the light just caught. What the subject just let go of. What no one else thought to archive. This is a studio built around precision and intuition. And above all, respect.
ABOUT THE STUDIO
9.1859° E
I work like an archivist, but I think like a director. Every session begins with a question not who someone is, but what they carry. I’m drawn to what endures. A particular coat they’ve worn for twenty years. The nervous gesture that shows up between frames. The stories people don’t realise they’re telling until they see them printed. That’s what I’m looking for. Not the version they curate but the one they live with every day.
I was trained in both cinema and still photography, but the artists who shaped me most were editors. The ones who knew how to hold tension in a single frame. I approach my work the same way with clarity, care, and restraint. No soft washes. No props. Just precision and patience. And I never work alone. My team handles every detail on set so that I can focus fully on what matters: timing, instinct, and trust.
Off set, I’m quieter. I live between Paris and Rome, but I keep a house outside Milan where I collect books and design objects. I box in the mornings, cook late at night, and I’ve never once managed to keep a plant alive. I’m an Enneagram 5, which means I need time to observe before I act but once I commit, I’m all in. Every photograph I take is a way of keeping record. And if I do my job right, what we capture will outlive both of us.
A Certain Kind of Memory
—Clara M.
“I’ve worked with many photographers, but Roux doesn’t ‘shoot’—she studies. The session felt less like being photographed and more like being translated into stills. There was no performance, no pressure, no small talk to fill the silence. Just presence.
What I received wasn’t just a gallery. It was a document of how it felt to be in that moment—sharp, quiet, and unfiltered. I look at those images and see parts of myself I’ve never seen before. She gave me back a version of me I didn’t know I’d lost.”
—Leon H.
“I didn’t realise how much of myself I’d been hiding until Roux showed me. The images weren’t polished—they were precise. I could feel the time, the weight, the air in the room. Nothing posed, nothing corrected.
She listens more than she speaks, and somehow that silence shapes the frame. I’ve never trusted anyone with a camera the way I trusted her.”
—Elena F.
“There’s no spectacle, no façade. Roux has a way of making you forget the lens exists at all. I walked away from our session with a kind of stillness I hadn’t felt in years.
What she created doesn’t just reflect me—it reflects the version of me I needed to return to.”
in their words
Roux works with precision slow, deliberate, exact. Each session becomes a document of feeling, a record of movement, a study in presence. The goal isn’t to impress, but to hold something real: the weight of a glance, the temperature of a moment, the way you looked when no one asked you to perform.
She accepts a limited number of private commissions across the year, each shaped by close collaboration and long term intention. If you’re ready to enter the frame, she’s ready to begin.
