Paris 5e: spirituality, culture and heritage

The 5th arrondissement, also known as the Latin Quarter, is a place of knowledge, history and faith. With its historic synagogues, libraries, ancient gardens and prestigious halls, it's the ideal setting for a Bar Mitzvah that's both rooted in tradition and looking to the future.

Bar Mitzvah: tradition captured with emotion

A Bar or Bat Mitzvah is a symbolic event that I photograph with a sensitive and discreet eye. My approach respects religious times and family intimacy:

• Family preparations
• Torah reading, blessings, tefilin donning
• Individual and group portraits
• Natural photos during the reception
• Speeches, entertainment, dances, intergenerational moments

Photographic style

• Sober, elegant reporting, based on the moment
• Mastering natural and architectural lighting
• Total discretion during the religious ceremony
• Meticulous retouching, delivered in high definition
