Ekaterina Kudinova Photographe

I am Ekaterina Kudinova, a photographer based in Chartres, and portrait photography is at the heart of my work. Since 2018 I have been dedicated to creating images that reveal my clients' true personalities: professional portraits for CVs, LinkedIn or corporate communication, as well as individual and feminine portraits where every nuance matters. Why choose me for your professional portrait? Because I prioritise authenticity. My practice is grounded in natural light and spontaneous moments rather than rigid poses. I observe the light, the shadows, the breath of the scene—those details that give depth and truth to an image. My goal is for your photos to evoke the same emotion in ten years' time: a sincere smile, renewed confidence, a cherished memory. My approach is deeply human and personalised. Before the session, I listen to your project: the intended use of the images, the image you want to convey, and what makes you feel comfortable. On location, I create a relaxed atmosphere—outdoors or at your place, depending on what suits you—so you can be yourself. I guide without imposing, offering simple, natural directions and capturing the moments when personality shines through. I pay special attention to retouching: each photo is carefully edited by me to preserve authenticity while delivering a polished, professional result. The relationship with the client, kindness and comfort during the session are essential to producing images that truly represent you. Although portrait photography is my speciality, I also offer photography services tailored to professional needs (corporate photography, portraits for business communication) as a complementary service. For any request related to your organisation's visual communication, we will discuss your objectives together to adapt style and approach. Based in Chartres, I travel around the city to meet you and create your portraits. If you are looking for a natural, authentic and thoughtful professional portrait, let’s talk about your project — I look forward to creating images with you that reflect who you are.
