Want to work on a project together? Here's what I can do for you.
As you might guess if you've read my ABOUT section , my services go beyond photography to help you create any visual content or communication project. And because these projects need to be tailored to your needs, please feel free to contact me so we can discuss them together. I'll then be able to provide you with a detailed quote—free of charge and with no obligation.
The following clients have already entrusted me with their projects:
Photography & Audiovisual
As an editorial photographer, I specialize in portraits, ranging from professional headshots to creative photo shoots. I also frequently cover events (particularly in the fields of culture and education, for which I offer discounted rates as a form of support) and take on other corporate assignments. The rates below are indicative base rates valid for the current calendar year. They include basic post-production work, delivery (shared folder with a permanent link), and, in most cases, a usage license (the exact license and associated fees are to be determined for commercial assignments).
PHOTOGRAPHY
-
Your professional portrait should reflect who you are as accurately as possible. A "headshot" aims to create a portrait that is as true to you as possible by finding the right lighting, angle, and expression. Since we all have different professional goals and contexts, our portrait should support those goals.
I work on location, offering the option of either a plain studio backdrop or a “natural” backdrop specific to your work environment.
PRIVATE CLIENTS: starting at* CHF 250.-
*short individual session, 1 outfit, on-site with a mobile studio (max. 50 km)COMPANY: starting at* CHF 90.
*Price per employee for companies with 25 or more employees (max. 50 km) -
Portraits can go far beyond just the face. Whether you’re looking for a personalized photo portfolio tailored to your situation, need beautiful images that convey what you do or who you are, or simply want to enjoy the experience of “seeing yourself,” there’s a photo shoot for that.

Individual photo sessions start at* CHF 430.-
*short individual on-location session (max. 50 km)Group photo sessions start at* CHF 890.-
*short individual session on location (max. 50 km) -
Similar to a photo shoot, it aims to create relevant, high-quality images of you in your environment (whether artistic, professional, etc.). Also known as an “environmental portrait,” the idea is to create a series of images that illustrate both who you are and your story.
Starting at* CHF 790.-
*standard editorial rate for culture/education, which typically includes a half-day photo shoot -
Whether you need an event to be thoroughly documented or you need photos of everyone on your company's team, let's work together to find the best solutions tailored to your needs.
À partir de* CHF 250.-
*événement culturel ou éducatif de courte durée (<60min) sur Fribourg et Agglo
I work primarily on my own (though I’m supported by many talented people in my immediate network for larger projects), and I mainly produce one-on-one interviews and podcasts with up to four participants (including audio mixing and video recording), either on location or in a studio. But since film is my first and greatest love, I also direct music videos and short films, primarily for the performing arts.
AUDIOVISUAL
-
As a portrait photographer, you may have guessed: I love people’s stories. A one-on-one (face-to-face) interview can be conducted by a single person, and that’s actually one of my specialties. I can shoot from up to two angles (using two cameras) and offer several lighting and background options.
Starting at* 370.00 CHF
*short studio interview, one camera*
-
Designed to accommodate a podcast with four participants, video production can always be a valuable addition. Up to three camera angles (three cameras), either in the studio or on location.
Starting at* CHF 490.-
*short studio session, one camera*
-
I love short films, especially music videos for bands and other performing arts. From screenwriting to editing—and even the music—filmmaking remains my first true love. Of course, if you need more than just a one-man-band like me, let me know; I have excellent contacts in the industry who can help bring your big video project to life.
Depending on the project > Get a no-obligation quote
As for the rate for an editorial/commercial assignment, the base rate is CHF 1,500 per day** (for small projects: CHF 220 per unit* or CHF 790 per half-day**). Since each project is unique depending on the amount of work required and its visibility goals, I encourage you to simply contact me so we can work together to prepare an appropriate quote.
*A unit is an estimate of the workload required from the time of filming through post-production.
**The “half-day” and “full-day” packages are also based on these work units and do not necessarily reflect the actual time spent shooting on location or even the total time worked.
Web & Print Publishing
The content I create is often intended for publication on the web. Having always been drawn to the web but never wanting to break into that field or become a web agency, I quickly turned to cloud platforms, which, for me, had a clear advantage: they empower clients to manage the websites I create for them on their own.
With Squarespace, I’ve found the right balance between ease of use for beginners and advanced design features—enough to create a high-quality, responsive website.
This solution addresses a specific need, particularly for those on a tight budget. But the platform has its limitations, and I will be able to convince interested individuals that their website needs require the services of a competent web design agency.
WEB
-
Depending on the content, the complexity of the project, and your specific skills, the cost can range from CHF 900 to CHF 2,900 for standard websites.
The initial consultation to prepare a quote is free and non-binding. A CHF 100.- project setup fee will be charged if the project is accepted.
In addition to the base estimate, there is an estimate of the number of units of:
DESIGN at CHF 180.- per unit
For the overall design of the site (min. 3 units).SUPPORT at CHF 80.00 per unit
For technical and content management work (minimum of 4 units).DEVELOPMENT at CHF 100.00 per unit
For custom Java and/or CSS coding (based on advanced requirements).TRAINING: CHF 150.- per unit
To provide the skills needed to manage the site independently (1–2 units recommended).The initial quote remains valid as long as the work does not exceed the scope defined therein. If necessary, the quote will be adjusted by mutual agreement before invoicing.
-
Following the launch and go-live of the website, a monitoring and support system is, of course, available, with the option of quarterly, semiannual, or annual billing.
As you can see from the list of sample projects below, I prefer projects where I can create editorial content (visual and/or written).
EDITORIAL at CHF 110 per unit and VISUAL at CHF 220 per unit
The number of units is determined in the initial quote based on the project's requirements.
-
What does a "unit" refer to?
> By "unit," I mean a flat rate that reflects the actual work (excluding time not spent on productive work) required, calculated based on average time spent on similar tasks and a basic gross hourly rate.
Are there any additional costs to expect beyond what's in the estimate?
> This quote covers the development of the first version of the website to be launched. The scope of this first version is defined in advance, and no additional charges will apply at the time of billing as long as the initial scope is adhered to.
> Once the quote is accepted, a service agreement is signed by both parties. This agreement outlines our future collaboration regarding support and maintenance of the website once it goes live. Annual billing (or at another frequency, if agreed upon) begins after the initial launch. If no services are requested, no further charges will apply. Images et Mots’ philosophy remains to help you become independent in managing your website as quickly as possible, while remaining available to assist you.
Why Squarespace?
> Squarespace is a very stable CMS (content management system) that is up-to-date in terms of design and adaptability, and offers an intuitive interface that allows users to manage their sites independently.
Does Images et Mots create all types of websites?
> In addition to aligning with our values (Images et Mots reserves the right to decline a request), we give priority to projects where we can contribute to content creation (photos, videos, or even text).
> From a technical standpoint, Squarespace allows you to edit CSS and inject JavaScript to further customize your website. However, depending on the nature of the project, the platform naturally has its limitations. Images et Mots can connect you with web development specialists if you’re looking for a custom solution. Additionally, we’ll assess the “feasibility” of your project using Squarespace during our first no-obligation meeting.

Because, yes, creating a printed piece—whether it’s a book, a journal, a magazine, or any other print project—has become something of a new passion for me. Capable of bringing many different types of projects to life, I can once again rely on the talent of graphic designers in my network to tackle more complex projects.

Storytelling & Communication
Having worked as a communications specialist for several years, I had the opportunity to build on and expand my communications skills by completing my CAS in Institutional Communication at the Fribourg School of Business. This program helped me realize that my experience and talents could be fully applied to comprehensive storytelling—from production to strategy and implementation—
