Photographer Brit Milah Paris 17 - Jewish ceremony, Community, Family | Laurent Baranes

Brit Milah photographer in Paris 17ᵉ. Laurent Baranes captures every sacred moment with discretion: mohel, blessings, synagogue or private ceremony, family atmosphere.

Paris 17ᵉ: strong community roots and family atmosphere

The 17ᵉ arrondissement, notably around the Ternes, Wagram, Batignolles and Pereire districts, is one of the historic centers of the Parisian Jewish community. It is home to several active synagogues (such as those on Rue Brunel and Rue des Ternes), Jewish schools, and many observant families. It's the ideal setting for a Brit Milah at home, in a synagogue or community hall, with or without a reception.

I'm Laurent Baranes, a professional photographer ranked 57ᵉ worldwide by the WPE, specializing in Jewish family and religious events in Paris and internationally. My work is based on a sober, respectful approach focused on light and emotion.

1. Religious ceremony in the morning, in a solemn setting
2. Traditional blessings, Hebrew names, transmission
3. Kiddush or buffet with relatives
4. Discreet photographs of key moments, portraits and shared emotions

My photographic approach
