Bar Mitzvah photographer in Paris 4th district, Laurent Baranes elegantly captures every moment: ceremony in the Marais, family portraits, authentic Jewish ambiance and reception.

Paris 4th: at the heart of historic Parisian Judaism

The 4th arrondissement, cradle of the Jewish Marais, is one of the most significant places to celebrate a Bar Mitzvah in Paris. Here you'll find the oldest and most active synagogues, historic community institutions and an atmosphere that's lively, traditional and respectful of family values.

I'm Laurent Baranes, a photographer specializing in Jewish ceremonies. Ranked 57ᵉ photographer worldwide, I accompany families through this unique moment with a sincere, discreet and aesthetic eye. My approach is both respectful of ritual and focused on true emotion.
