Jules Beaumont — Studio, Genève

The Work

Four subjects,

One eye

01 — Weddings

Weddings

The whole day, as it actually goes — the slow hour before anyone is ready, the speech that doesn't go to plan, the last part of the night when everyone has forgotten there's a camera. Geneva, Vaud, Valais and the French Alps.

02 — Sport

Sport

Clubs, federations and athletes. Close to the action, edited the same night when it matters, and with you while people still care about the result.

03 — Events

Events

Parties, cocktail hours, launches and celebrations. There's always a running order, and the pictures worth keeping are almost never on it — so I cover both.

04 — Portraits

Portraits

One person, natural light, and enough time to stop thinking about it. Individuals, families, and professional portraits that don't feel like an appointment.

Weddings

The whole day, as it actually goes — and the hour before anyone is ready.

Weddings

The preparations are never
just preparations.

The part I love most is the morning. The dress on the door, someone's mother already crying, the bridesmaids doing each other's hair while the music plays too loud. Nobody is performing yet, and that is usually where the best frames are.

It should look like your day actually looked.

I move quietly through the rest of it. I don't ask you to look at me or stand a certain way — after a while you forget I'm there, and that's when it starts working.

Weddings

The Journal

One morning,
in order.

The morning

09:40Everyone is dressed before the bride is. There's a long stretch of the morning where six people fuss over each other in front of the same mirror, fixing hair that was already fine, and nobody is thinking about a camera yet.

11:15Makeup, from the other side of the room. I shoot past shoulders and through doorways more than people expect — it keeps a little distance in the frame, and distance is most of what makes something look unposed.

12:50Then the staircase, and the first moment she is properly alone on it. She looked back once, for about a second. That's the frame.

Nobody asked me for a single one of those frames. They're the ones that got printed.

By two the rooms are empty — a chair pushed back from the mirror, a bouquet somebody left on the windowsill, the light already moved on. That's usually the last of the morning, before everything moves outside.

Clubs · Federations · Athletes

Sport

Match-day photography for clubs, federations and athletes around Geneva — with you while the result still matters.

Nothing in sport
happens twice.

The tackle, the celebration, the face on the bench afterwards — it happens once, and either the frame exists or it doesn't. I shoot tight to the action and stay through the parts most photographers pack up before: the walk off, the huddle, the empty pitch.

Sport

A photograph that arrives a month late has already missed its moment.

Sport

Everything is culled and edited the same night when it needs to be. Amateur clubs get the same care as federation fixtures — the only real difference is how many frames come back.

Ninety Minutes

The warm-up, the strike,
and whatever the bench is doing.

Parties · Cocktail Hours · Celebrations

Events

Parties, cocktail hours, launches and celebrations around Geneva — photographed the way the night actually went.

Events

Nobody plans
the best part.

There is always a running order, and the photographs people end up keeping are almost never on it. The toast that goes three minutes long. Someone’s father dancing badly and committing to it. The friends who slip outside for ten minutes and come back laughing at something nobody else heard.

An evening is only unrepeatable once.

So I cover what is scheduled — the speeches, the cutting, the arrivals — and then I spend the rest of the night waiting for everything that isn’t. Available light, no interruptions, and nobody asked to do anything twice.

What's included

Every booking,
the same way.

Arrival to late

Coverage across the full evening rather than a fixed slot in the middle of it, so the end of the night exists too.

Available light

No flash rigs changing the mood of a room. If the light genuinely runs out, anything I add stays invisible in the final frames.

72-hour first look

A curated selection within three days, while people are still talking about it and still want to share it.

Free personal use

Yours to print, post and send to everyone who was there. No restrictions and no per-use fees.

Rates

What it costs.

Standard coverage

Two-hour minimum. Roughly 60–80 edited images per hour, delivered within 72 hours.

CHF 180 / hour

Extended evening

Four hours or more, at a reduced hourly rate — the usual shape for a party that runs properly.

CHF 150 / hour

Photo & video

Stills plus a short edit for social. Scoped per event.

On request

Recurring events

A series across the year, agreed as one block.

On request

Travel within the Geneva region is included. Evenings running past midnight are agreed in advance rather than billed as a surprise.

Individuals · Families · Professional

Portraits

Portraits made in natural light, at home or outdoors — unhurried, and never stiff.

Portraits

The first twenty minutes
are always the worst.

Everyone arrives slightly braced. That's normal, and it's exactly why I don't book short sessions — the pictures worth keeping tend to show up once you've stopped thinking about your hands. We walk, we talk, and somewhere in there you forget what we came for.

A portrait should look like you on a good day, not like you holding still.

Sessions happen outdoors or in your own space rather than a rented studio. Familiar rooms and real light do more for a portrait than a paper backdrop ever has — for families, couples, individuals, and professional portraits that don't announce themselves as corporate.

Portraits

What's included

Every booking,
the same way.

Location of your choosing

Your home, a place that means something, or somewhere in Geneva I'll suggest if you'd rather not decide.

Built long on purpose

Sessions are scheduled with room to spare. The frames worth keeping arrive after the warm-up, not during it.

Fully retouched selects

A curated set, edited individually rather than batch-processed, delivered in a private gallery.

Print-ready files

High-resolution files suitable for framing, alongside sized versions for everything else.

Rates

What it costs.

Portrait session

Individual or couple, on location, with a fully edited set of selects.

On request

Family session

An extended session with enough room for children to warm up before it counts.

On request

Professional portraits

Headshots and profile work for individuals and small teams, on location.

On request

Added to another shoot

A portrait session attached to an existing wedding or corporate booking.

On request

Portrait pricing is set per session depending on length, location and how many people are involved. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll come back with a figure.

Approach

How I work

The long version. The short one is that I stay out of the way, and I'm patient about it.

01 — Documentary

Documentary

Present, not directing

Most of a day gets photographed without me saying anything. I learn the shape of it beforehand — where the light will be at four, which room everyone ends up in, who is likely to cry — and then I spend the day somewhere near the edge of it, waiting.

It means the pictures arrive unevenly. Some hours give you nothing and then a minute gives you six frames you'll keep forever.

The best frames are usually the ones nobody noticed being taken.

Editorial

Composed, when it counts

There's a second register alongside the documentary work — considered framing, attention to how fabric falls, using a doorway or a stairwell as structure rather than background.

I use it sparingly and deliberately: portraits, details, the twenty minutes at golden hour. Long enough to make something composed, short enough that you're back with your guests before anyone notices you left.

02 — Editorial

03 — Natural light

Natural light

Available light, almost always

Flash announces itself. It flattens a room, tells everyone a photograph is being taken, and makes an evening look like a different evening. So I work with whatever light is already there — windows, candles, the last of the sun through a doorway.

There are exceptions. A reception in a basement at eleven at night isn't a natural light situation. When I do add light, the aim is for you not to notice it in the final frames.

The camera should never be the reason something felt different.

Afterwards

Edited one frame at a time

Editing is where most of the work actually happens. Every delivered image is worked individually rather than run through a preset — colour matched across the day so the morning and the evening feel like one story.

A first selection reaches you within 48 hours. The full gallery follows in three to four weeks, private, downloadable, and yours to share with whoever you like.
