La Galerie 170 in Caen specializes in black-and-white portraits. We create professional photos, CV portraits, and corporate images with sensitivity in a warm studio.
Specialists in portraiture, La Galerie 170 is a dedicated space for professional portrait photography in Caen. Storytellers and lovers of light, Aurélie, Céline and Nathalie bring their sensitive eye to portraits that truly reflect a person — their strength, their gentleness, their identity. Our approach favors emotion, intimacy and authenticity: the portrait becomes a precious object to be passed on. Why choose La Galerie 170 for your professional portrait? Because we don’t do “quick snapshots.” We take the time to listen, to understand your project and the image you want to convey — whether it’s an individual portrait, a CV portrait, a LinkedIn photo or a corporate headshot. Our visual signature, often in black and white, aims to reveal what matters: the gaze, the posture, the relationship with oneself. The results are elegant, timeless and suited to contemporary professional needs. How do we work? Each session is designed as an experience. Before the shoot, we talk with you to define the desired tone and to advise on outfits and poses. In our spacious, welcoming studio we create a reassuring atmosphere so you can be yourself in front of the camera. During the session we remain both discreet and attentive: we guide without imposing, to capture natural expressions and genuine moments. After the session we offer a private viewing to select the images together and choose the formats (prints, framed pieces) that will showcase your image. If you are a company, we also produce corporate portraits and images for internal or external communications. We welcome teams and can coordinate sessions to ensure visual coherence across your staff, while always preserving each individual’s personality. Nevertheless, our core expertise remains the personal portrait — that is where we excel. Based in Caen, La Galerie 170 is more than a studio: it is a meeting place where photography becomes an act of sharing and memory. If you are looking for a professional portrait that truly represents you, created with sensitivity and craftsmanship, let’s talk about your project. We will be delighted to welcome you and to craft your portrait together.
