I'm René, the person behind the lens

I'm based in Toronto, Canada, yet also available for work outside of North America.

I'm a self taught portrait and lifestyle photographer, with a special love for natural light and minimalism. My style is editorial and airy. I'm also a passionate ceramics artisan, a vegan and certified yoga instructor.

I truly believe that there's no such thing as a not photogenic person. Portrait photography is an art of discovering a person, observing and finding those features that make them so unique and special. Then you just grab a camera.

My Approach

My work is an expression of what I am most passionate about: storytelling, simplicity and human interaction. I see beauty in everything and in everyone. Do you feel the same way?

All relationships are based on trust & common values

It's crucial that we connect and see the beauty in the same things. We will have a call or meeting before signing any contracts.
