— Commissions & Signatures

A commission.
A dialogue.
A signature at your scale.

Twenty-five years of an authored gaze, an ADAGP-protected body of work, a career inscribed within the institutions — from UNESCO to the Grand Palais.

— Manifesto

Not a service provider.
An author.

A signature is not bought. It is entrusted.

Twenty-five years of an authored gaze. A body of work protected by ADAGP. A career inscribed within the institutions — from UNESCO to the Salon d'Automne, from the Grand Palais to Tokyo. Featured in Réponses Photo, exhibited at Drouot, listed on Artprice. When an executive, a maison, an institution, a place of distinction or a publishing house asks to enter this universe, it is not a service that begins.
It is a body of work being written together.

— The six territories

Six worlds.
One signature.

— I

Authored Portraiture

Executives, artists, public figures, authors, institutional and cultural universes. A cinematic portrait conceived as a work — art direction, signature light, sculpted presence. Identity, public image, a presence to embody. Far from corporate photography, close to the art of the portrait.

Initiate a portrait
— II

Maisons & Houses of Distinction

Luxury maisons, fashion, beauty, perfume, jewellery. Signature campaigns, reference imagery, brand communication, art direction, visual narrative. Photography as a brand territory — never as a product.

Engage a collaboration
— III

Hospitality & Places of Distinction

Hotels, spas, resorts, yachts, prestige real estate, private residences, interior architecture, experiential venues. A visual signature that consecrates the place as much as it dresses it — to elevate a space the way one consecrates a work.

Inhabit a place
— IV

Institutions & Cultural Collaborations

Museums, foundations, ministries, international cultural partnerships. UNESCO, Paris City Hall, Salon d'Automne du Grand Palais. Diplomatic archives, cultural events, institutional tributes, heritage projects. Twenty-five years of institutional experience in service of meaning.

Open an institutional dialogue

Immersive & Scenographic Projects

Exhibitions, installations, scenographies, immersive paths, architectural integrations. Digital art, AI Visual Systems, mandalas, signature screens, experiential venues. The work leaves the wall — it becomes place, atmosphere, experience. End-to-end art direction.

Orchestrate an experience
— VI

Press & Publishing Houses

Editorial art direction, covers, cultural press, magazines, publishing, books, visual narration, authored iconography, editorial collaborations and international publications. From Réponses Photo to cultural and institutional publications, a photographic writing conceived as much for the printed image as for collective memory.

— The orchestration of a commission

Six movements.
One orchestration.

— I

Dialogue

A first encounter. A reading of the project, the context, the identity. Confidential dialogue, no engagement. It is here that the commission becomes self-evident — or does not happen.

— II

Direction

Defining the art direction. Aesthetic choices, references, light, scenography. The signature takes shape before a single frame is exposed.

— III

Propositions

Curated visual propositions: authored moodboards, early directions, iconographic references, light palettes. The brief becomes image before the commission. Isabelle proposes, the patron chooses — without commitment.

— IV

Production

Shooting, authored post-production, AI generation where relevant. End-to-end art direction — Isabelle leads every stage personally.

— V

Delivery

The handover of the works: signed and ADAGP-numbered prints, master files, usage rights carefully framed. An act of transmission, not a transaction.

— VI

Aftercare

Post-delivery accompaniment: hanging advice, scenography, media valorisation, institutional circulation where relevant. The commission extends its life.
