The French Riviera is defined by its extraordinary light — palm-lined promenades, the Mediterranean sea, and elegant coastal architecture — a place where time naturally slows down. In honour of that rhythm, my portrait sessions are intentionally unhurried, designed to create genuine connection and portraits that feel considered and timeless. I’m an intentional French Riviera portrait photographer based in Antibes, working across the South of France, creating editorial-style portraits with analogue film and digital photography. These are not quick, transactional photo shoots, but collaborative, immersive portrait experiences built around creative direction, storytelling, and presence.

Intentional, Film-Led Portrait Sessions in the South of France

I take time to understand who you are, how you want to be seen and what this moment represents for you. Whether you’re celebrating a personal milestone, a honeymoon on the French Riviera or simply wanting couple portraits to remember a trip of a lifetime. Together, we shape the session with intention:

 • Thoughtful creative direction, tailored to you
 • Location suggestions across the French Riviera and Provence
 • Outfit guidance
 • A calm, unpressured pace that allows space for authenticity

"My boyfriend and I booked a photoshoot with Abbi while we were on vacation in the French Riviera and this was the highlight of our trip. Abbi was such a dream to work with. The quality of the photos she delivers speaks for itself. She also makes the photo taking process fun and enjoyable."

A core part of my work on the French Riviera is film photography. The softness, depth and organic tones of film create portraits that feel lived-in, emotional, and timeless. Your session can include digital, 35mm and medium format photography.

I work with a mix of analogue film and digital photography, depending on the feel we’re creating. Film brings a slower, more intentional rhythm to the session, while digital allows flexibility and refinement. Clients can choose one, or a thoughtful combination of both.

For clients wanting an additional layer of nostalgia and movement, there is also the option to include Super 8 video — a beautiful way to capture fleeting gestures, light, and atmosphere that still photographs can’t always hold.

Intentional Portrait Sessions for Couples & Honeymoons

Film Photography & Digital Portraits in the South of France

While I’m based in Antibes, I photograph portrait sessions across the French Riviera and Provence, including coastal towns, Provencal villages, villas and hotels.

Portrait sessions are intentionally limited to allow time, care and creative focus.

If you’re looking for a French Riviera portrait photographer offering a considered, film-led experience, I’d love to hear from you.
