His speciality is multigenerational family photo sessions for international families renting villas, as well as surprise proposals, bachelorette parties (EVJF), couple sessions, weddings, multi-day private events, yacht days and, since September 2026, corporate events (company evenings, launches, galas, seminars, receptions on board, brand hospitality during Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, the Cannes Film Festival or the Monaco Yacht Show). He primarily serves an international clientele (US, UK, EU) staying in the Gulf during the May-October season, and the companies, agencies and luxury houses that hold their events there. The site is bilingual.
