Photographer Brit Milah Paris 11 - Jewish ceremony, Synagogue, Family | Laurent Baranes

Brit Milah photographer in Paris 11ᵉ. Laurent Baranes accompanies you with discretion and respect to capture this unique moment: mohel, blessings, portraits, tradition and emotion.

Paris 11ᵉ: between spirituality and family life

The 11ᵉ arrondissement, between République, Bastille and Voltaire, is one of the most active neighborhoods in the Parisian Jewish community. It is home to iconic synagogues such as Don Isaac Abravanel, as well as numerous observant families, kosher caterers and venues conducive to hosting a traditional Brit Milah.

I'm Laurent Baranes, a photographer specializing in Jewish family events, ranked 57ᵉ worldwide by the WPE. I work all over Paris with an approach that is respectful of ritual, discreet and sensitive to the intensity of each sacred gesture.

Testimonial

"We celebrated our son's Brit Milah at the Abravanel synagogue. Laurent understood perfectly the solemnity of the moment. He missed nothing, while remaining invisible. The images are sober, beautiful and full of meaning."
- Ruth & Michaël, Paris 11ᵉ
