Magical Portraits in your pool

Forever memories of your stay in the Mayan Riviera

Highlight of my aquatic portrait sessions in the Riviera Maya

Make your wildest ideas a reality

If you’re staying near Cancun, Playa del Carmen or Tulum, take the opportunity to leave with artistic water portraits in your accommodation’s pool.


I come with all my equipment (flashes above and below the water) and lend you creative costumes. It will be the perfect souvenir of your stay in the Mayan Riviera.

1 - unleash your imagination

to get creative underwater portraits

I’ll personalize your portrait session by finding ideas that suit you: We’ll meet before the session so you can tell me about yourself: Together, we’ll create images that are fun, surprising and playful.

We can create an underwater scene and add accessories that reflect your personality.

2 - I offer you dream dresses

I’ll offer with you dresses and/or  mermaid costumes to turn you into a real underwater princess.

I have all the outfits you see and many more.

3- Make artwork of your portraits

you get the images in very high resolution for printing in very large format

Pierre developed an ambitious portrait project in Mexico by combining my two passions: portrait photography and his love of underwater exploration.

He transforms aquatic locations into extraordinary photographic studios.

F.A.Q.

 

Usually, the session takes place in the pool where you are accommodated. If you’re renting, please make sure that my assistant and I (2 people) will have access to the pool, and that we have permission to do the session.

 

If your accommodation doesn’t have a swimming pool, I can arrange one for you in town. (Extra cost)

 

I like to shoot in the late afternoon to take advantage of the natural light and then work at night with my flashes.

But we can discuss this together to find the best time for your own portrait session.

 

Packages start from 45 minutes of shooting, including 5 artistic portraits in high digital resolution. (you will receive more photos if we manage to do more different portraits during the session).

 

You will receive your portraits in digital format at high resolution so that you can make very large prints if you wish.

 

I usually send them to you 1 to 3 days after shooting (I manually edit each image you receive).

Info & packages to plan your session

Packages start at $390 US
