Meet Laurent, originally from Lyon, France, now a resident of Amsterdam. With his effortless charm and understated style, Laurent embodies the perfect balance of classic French sophistication and laid-back Dutch sensibility. A few years ago, he swapped the culinary delights and winding streets of his hometown for Amsterdam’s iconic canals and creative energy.
We first met during a brisk autumn day when the city was alive with muted tones and the soft hum of bicycles passing by. Laurent had been searching for a photographer to capture portraits that felt authentic—nothing overly polished, just something real and reflective of his personality. As someone working in Amsterdam’s creative tech scene, he wanted photos that could double as both professional headshots and personal snapshots.
The session unfolded naturally. We strolled through the quiet, tree-lined streets near the canals, the occasional breeze tugging at Laurent’s scarf. He’d pause now and then, leaning thoughtfully against a railing or flashing an unguarded smile when we joked about the ever-present Dutch drizzle. His classic black peacoat and vibrant red scarf added a pop of personality against the soft, moody backdrop of the city.
The results were portraits that captured Laurent in his element—relaxed, confident, and entirely himself. Whether it’s a reflective gaze toward the canal or a moment of easy laughter, the photos tell his story with a warmth and authenticity that feels as timeless as the city itself.
