For the launch of her new autumn collection, Elisa wanted pictures that would still evoke a summery feel, even as the season changed.
We spent an afternoon on l’Île de Ré to do all the outdoor shots, taking advantage of the gorgeous warm sunset light. For all indoor shots, we played using bright, colorful props, seasonal fruits and playful compositions. The idea was to capture images that maintain the brand’s signature warmth, blending the essence of summer with a touch of autumn.

the workshop
« Un shooting photo avec Héloïse c'est une dose de bonne humeur partagée, on a pris le temps de définir ensemble la vision que je souhaitais donner aux photos et elle a su la retranscrire à merveille à travers ses beaux clichés ! Les photos sont incroyables je me suis laissée guider tout le long du shoot pour un résultat chaleureux, dans un mood océanique, post-surf et cosy autumn, tout ce que je recherchais pour mettre en valeur mes bijoux ! Un grand merci à elle vous pouvez lui accorder votre confiance les yeux fermés ! »
