LaPhotodeGilles

I am Gilles Liautard, a professional photographer based in Cholet. My approach to professional portrait photography is straightforward: get to know you, understand your needs, and create an image that truly represents you. Specializing in professional portraits and corporate photography, I work with executives, freelancers, teams and candidates who want a polished visual presence for LinkedIn, CVs or company communications. My method stands out through attentive listening and building trust. Before each session I take the time to talk with you to define the desired style — sober and institutional, natural and warm, or creative and flattering — so we can achieve a portrait that is both effective and authentic. My recipe: constructive suggestions, a bit of patience and a consistently positive attitude so that every person, even those uncomfortable in front of the camera, leaves with images they are proud of. I offer studio shoots in Cholet for controlled portraits (lighting, background, style), as well as on-site sessions at your company: installation of a mini-studio, shoots in natural light or photography of your premises and teams. This flexibility allows me to adapt the final look to the medium (LinkedIn, website, staff directory) and the message you want to convey. My artistic background — exhibitions, awards and a strong interest in street and reportage photography — informs my sense of composition and timing, always in service of a professional result. Since becoming a full-time professional photographer I work with dedicated equipment (mainly Sony) to guarantee high-quality files that are easy to use for print or web. Beyond the shoot itself, I support the finalization of your images: targeted retouching, a private gallery for selecting your photos, and options for prints or photobooks if desired. Working with LaPhotodeGilles means partnering with an attentive portrait photographer based in Cholet who knows how to combine professional standards with a human approach to enhance your image.
