DEVENIR MANNEQUIN

I am Laurie Tedone: a former model with 15 years of experience, now working as a photographer and model coach based in Créteil. My professional portrait practice combines a field-tested discipline with a photographer’s eye to help you build a clear, authentic image you can use immediately in professional contexts (LinkedIn, CV, company website, internal communications). Why choose me? I know what recruiters, agencies and communications teams are looking for: portraits that convey confidence, professionalism and personality without artifice. My approach favors simplicity and clarity: natural poses, effective framing and discreet retouching that respects your face and your image. What makes my method unique is the coaching + photography mix. Before each session we discuss your objective (LinkedIn profile, corporate photo, executive portrait) to define the style that fits you. During the shoot I guide you in real time — body placement, gaze, micro-gestures — everything that turns an ordinary picture into a portrait that captures attention. My coaching background helps me put even camera-shy clients at ease quickly. How does a session run? We start with a short diagnostic to clarify the message you want to send. The session can take place in studio or via video call depending on your needs; I advise on outfit choices and angles. After the shoot I select and retouch the images naturally, then deliver files optimized for both digital and print uses — ready for LinkedIn, CVs, websites and more. For those who wish, a short presentation video can be added to complete your application package or professional profile — a practical option for modern applications and digital castings. My goal is to give you concrete tools to move forward: a professional, honest and effective image. If you want a portrait that truly represents you and opens doors, I will accompany you step by step with kindness and practical advice drawn from my experience as a model and coach.
