Each session is built with structure, rhythm, and authorship. Roux composes portraits with the eye of a director measured, deliberate, and instinctive. Every frame is designed to hold both tension and elegance, guided by tone, presence, and precision.
The process prioritizes stillness over performance. Expression over spectacle. Each commission is shaped to reflect the subject as they are—layered, cinematic, and lasting.
This is a study in detail. An archive of memory made tactile. Crafted with restraint. Made to hold.
Commissioned Work
THE SESSIONS
Raw, cinematic sessions for individuals or couples.
These sessions move beyond perfection, capturing personality, tension, and nuance in ways that feel more like film stills than portraits.
Portraiture for the Undone
Editorial-style sessions for artists and creatives.
Focused on portfolio building and identity, each shoot is designed like a scene—directed with purpose, yet leaving room for instinct.
The Muse Session
Ongoing documentation for legacy, memory, or private use. These commissions unfold over time, shot across sessions, cities, or chapters designed to preserve a body of work or a life in motion, in photographs meant to last.
Archival Commissions
Optional cinematic coverage crafted with the same restraint and tonal control as Roux’s photography.
Final films are professionally graded, sound-designed, and tailored in length. Roux directs and delivers finished, standalone motion pieces that match her visual language.
Cinematography
—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
Within four weeks, you’ll receive a curated digital gallery graded with precision, edited by hand. From there, select from museum grade prints, custom bound volumes, or framed works built to hold time. These aren’t just files to download they’re objects to keep.
III. Delivery & Legacy
Roux works without urgency. Whether you meet in a private apartment, an empty gallery, or the streets of Rome, each session is paced to allow for natural shifts in mood and presence. She shoots on both film and digital, moving fluidly between formats. Direction is minimal but deliberate built on instinct, shaped by your atmosphere.
II. The Session in Motion
Every commission begins with a measured exchange spoken or written where Roux absorbs the intention behind the portrait. This isn’t a form to be filled, but a creative brief formed intuitively. Together, you’ll determine format, focus, and location. Wardrobe guidance is offered if desired, but the goal is simple: to ensure every session begins with clarity, not control.
I. Foundation & Direction
001: Commission Flow
I divide my time between Paris and Rome and work across Europe on commissioned portrait sessions and archival studies. My background in cinema and editorial photography informs the structure of every image—the framing, the rhythm, and the way presence takes shape in stillness.
Sessions unfold quietly. Each one is guided by tone, light, and the subject’s own rhythm. I build portraits through observation, timing, and deliberate direction, always aiming to extract something essential rather than styled.
I work with both film and digital, choosing format based on mood and motion. The intent is always to create photographs that feel cinematic and unforced—images that reveal something private, composed with restraint.
My practice exists at the intersection of portraiture and memory. The result is a body of work defined by atmosphere, clarity, and enduring tension.
ABOUT
ME
The right image doesn’t just document—it distills. It holds a truth that memory alone can’t recall.
Roux approaches every commission as a director does a film: with vision, structure, and precision.
Each frame is built to last. Each session is shaped to reflect not only who you are—but who you’ll remember yourself to be.
We accept a limited number of private commissions per season.
Because nothing about this process is rushed. And no one is seen the same way twice.
