ABOUT
​
I am Leo Fontanel, a 34-year-old French photographer based in Rennes. For the past 11 years, photography has been at the heart of my life and remains my greatest passion. My work primarily falls into two areas:
​
Fine Art Architectural Photography
I draw inspiration from black and white and minimalism, focusing mainly on Fine-Art architectural photography. My goal is to reveal the beauty of architectural structures through a personal approach. Over the years, I have developed a distinctive style that has been recognized through various exhibitions and publications. I also host masterclasses to help other photographers master this approach and its techniques.
​
Commercial Photography
In parallel, I work with a range of businesses, from local SMEs to large multinational corporations, both in France and abroad. My commercial projects include corporate portraits, reportage, event photography, as well as culinary and product photography. My aim is to create impactful visuals that accurately reflect each client's identity and values.
​​​
Whether for artistic or commercial projects, I am dedicated to fully investing myself. Each photograph is an opportunity to capture an emotion and create a connection with the viewer.
​
If you are looking for a passionate and versatile photographer to bring your projects to life, I would be delighted to discuss your needs. Feel free to contact me to talk about how we could collaborate.
