Gigaro is the Gulf of Saint-Tropez before the glitter. A long beach backed by pine forest, the coastal path running towards Cap Lardier and Cap Taillat, coves where the water turns turquoise from early morning. This is where I photograph the groups who want it natural: bachelorette parties that end with their feet in the water, families in villas on the heights of La Croix-Valmer, couples on the rocks at sunset.
Everything is arranged online and by phone before you arrive, in English or French. You give me your dates and your group, I propose the time and the exact spot — the light of Gigaro changes from morning to evening, and I know its hours. On the day, you have nothing to manage.
Twenty years of practice. Private gallery within 48 to 72 hours, HD files within 24 hours after your selection, prints handed to every participant or shipped worldwide.
The most beautiful beach of the Gulf deserves better than phone pictures.
My signature session in Gigaro
The family session, at the hour the beach empties.
Seven in the evening at Gigaro. The parasols fold one by one, the last towels leave the sand, and the light shifts — golden, low, with Cap Lardier darkening in the distance. That is exactly when my session begins: your children have the most beautiful beach of the Gulf to themselves, the grandparents walk along the water's edge, and all I have to do is follow. The session has often started an hour earlier at your villa on the heights, before heading down to the sand.
Four people or twenty across three generations, I build the combinations one by one: the full group, each family, each couple, each set of siblings, each parent with each of their children. Larger families usually choose Héritage Familial (€890, up to twelve people, 40 photos) or the Constellations — Premium (€1,290, up to sixteen) and Signature (€1,690, up to twenty, 80 photos, a second set-up for everyone). First packages at €390, fully bespoke from €2,290 beyond twenty.
And a few days later, in the gallery, many families keep going: 30, 50, sometimes 70 additional photographs ordered once the result is in front of their eyes.
When the stay deserves more than one session
The weekend when the whole family is there.
A villa rented above Gigaro, three cars arriving on Friday evening, and for once, everyone is there. The apéritif stretches out on the terrace, Saturday drifts between the pool and the beach, Sunday lunch never seems to end — and no one wants to stop to pose. It is for weekends like these that I work as dedicated coverage: I am there at the right moments, I disappear the rest of the time, and the family leaves with the complete story of its reunion.
An evening from €1,490, a full day from €4,500, the entire weekend by quote — at the villa, on the beach, at the restaurant. No forced poses, in the light of the moment. Cinematic video coverage available as an option, fully coordinated: one single point of contact, me.
In Gigaro, I also photograph.

The question I am asked most often, especially by bachelorette groups organising from abroad: what if it rains? Simple answer — we move to the next day, at no cost, no drama. That is the advantage of booking a photographer who lives here: I see the weather coming and I warn you before you start worrying. For the rest, everything is arranged online: you contact me, I call you back within 24 hours, often within 2; a 50% deposit via secure payment link confirms the date and unlocks my preparation guide; the balance is settled on the day, in cash or by card. I arrive 15 to 20 minutes early to meet you and scout the light, outside your session time.
After the session: private gallery within 48 to 72 hours, every photo in colour and in black and white. You select, your HD files arrive within 24 hours, premium prints follow within 5 to 7 business days, handed to participants or shipped worldwide. Additional photos and prints at preferential rates from your gallery, up to large formats — canvas up to 90×150 cm, aluminium and plexiglass up to 50×75 cm.
