MEET THE FOUNDER & PHOTOGRAPHER
Hey I'm Lara,
Photographer, Creative Director and Visual Storyteller based in Paris, available worldwide.
Photography found me before I found it. As a child, I was already drawn to images, the way a single frame could hold an entire feeling. As a teenager, I picked up my first analog camera and started photographing portraits, learning to read light, faces, and the quiet spaces between expressions. Then came the Parisian nights, clubs, dancing, raw energy - where I taught myself digital photography, chasing moments in the dark with nothing but instinct.
What started as a enjoyable thing became a craft. And that craft became Views of Lara.
I create images designed to leave a mark. My work exists between photography, cinema, and memory.
Every portrait, every event, every story, every personal project is crafted to become more than a simple photography, but a timeless piece of art that testifies the present and preserves your Essence.
Through digital photography, film photography, and creative direction,
I help you create images that are not meant to be only seen, but to be deeply felt.

Why choosing "Views of Lara"
What you can expect when working with me :
A personalized creative direction & Photography experience tailored entirely to you, your vision, your needs, and your budget.
A bilingual experience if needed — French (as a French native) & English.
Both Digital Photography for a High-quality look and Analog Film photography for a Vintage look.
I shift between three different styles : Cinematic, Editorial, Documentary. I always work with a moodboard before the Photography experience to make sure we will have the pictures you expected - and more!
Images delivered with intention, care, and a cinematic eye.
I started this journey with one conviction : that a photography should feel like something, not just look like something.

MY APPROACH
Why choose betwen Cinematic, Editorial & Documentary when you can have it all ?
Most photographers ask you to pick a style. I personally work across three different styles,
shifting between cinematic, editorial and documentary depending on the moment, the light, what your day calls for,
or what you personally envision and want for your images.
I also offer both digital photography and analog film photography, combining the precision and quality of a high-performance digital camera ;
and also the timeless, cinematic grain of analog photography depending on what you prefer. Two mediums, one story.
CINEMATIC STYLE
Every frame tells a story.
I compose your images like scenes from a film but still letting you move spontaneously in it ; with intention, depth, and a timeless quality that makes every photograph feel like life itself.
EDITORIAL STYLE
Directed. Refined. Intentional.
Here I can guide you into looks, light, and moments that reveal the most beautiful version of you, styled with an artistic eye, designed to be framed.
DOCUMENTARY STYLE
Raw. Spontaneous. Authentic.
I disappear into the background and follow your story as it unfolds : The glance, the laugh, the moment nobody planned for. I capture what happens when no one is performing.

TESTIMONIALS
SOME KIND WORDS FROM AMAZING CLIENTS
"After hiring Lara for a Wedding and then a Maternity photoshoot, it was only natural that I wanted to continue the experience with a newborn photoshoot!
Once again, I was delighted with her work. Lara captured these precious first moments between my baby and me with such gentleness and care. The photos are magnificent, full of tenderness and emotion. I highly recommend Lara for a session with your newborn or child. In addition to being a very talented photographer, she is naturally very comfortable with young children, patient, and reassuring. We will cherish wonderful memories of these first moments as a family through all the photos. "
"Hi Lara, I just wanted to say it again : we are absolutely thrilled with the photos you sent us for our Wedding Ceremony. 🤍
A huge thank you for your incredible work, your kindness, and your generosity. We are so happy with the result, and these are memories we will cherish for a lifetime. You captured precious moments with such sensitivity, and the quality of your photos is truly remarkable. I love the finished result!
I won't hesitate for a second to recommend you to everyone I know. Thank you again a thousand times! "
"I absolutely loved the shooting with Lara ! She's really professional (but also fun, and knows how to to make people relax, which was useful because I'm a bit shy myself when it comes to photography).
I wanted a very specific mood and vibe for the pictures (colorful, neons, and a bit retro) and she recreated perfectly what I had in mind.
I'm so happy with the results and would recommend to anyone to book a shooting with her.
