PHOTO
A Caribbean eye.

Portraits, artists, events and visual direction. Visual-arts training received in Miami, thirty years inside hip-hop culture, and a Caribbean eye that looks like no one else's.

How a shoot actually runs.

No forced staging, no frozen poses. Five steps — the same for a simple portrait as for a full day.

01

We talk

A 20-minute call, WhatsApp or video, no commitment. We set the intention: what these images are for, who they speak to, what you want people to feel.

02

Art direction

I pick the location, the light hour, the outfits and the colour range. You get a clear direction before the day. This is the step that separates a photo session from an image that stands up.

03

The shoot

From 2 hours to a full day depending on the package. I direct the pose, the weight, the gaze — you don't have to invent anything.

04

Selection & retouching

Tight edit, then fine retouching: colour, contrast, skin left looking like skin. Never plastic. One round of feedback is included.

05

Delivery

Private online gallery, high-resolution files, within 21 working days. The gallery stays open for 3 months.

Four packages. Four levels of intent.

Every project gets a named quote, valid 30 days. The figures below are starting prices.

The work speaks. Look.

Six projects, six different intentions. Every image was thought through before it was taken.

Chouchou — Portrait · Saint-Martin

Chouchou

Portrait · Saint-Martin

Shot in SXM. Late-afternoon light, tight framing, nothing added: the face carries everything.

Élodie — Portrait · Natural light

Élodie

Portrait · Natural light

A portrait built on daylight alone, no flash. The direction lives in the placement and the hour chosen.

Bboy Ike — Duo · Stage

Bboy Ike

Duo · Stage

Two dancers, one frame. Catching the right hundredth of a second means knowing the movement from the inside.

The Jump — Night portrait · Cinematic

The Jump

Night portrait · Cinematic

Cinematic grade, hard light, deep blacks. An image conceived as a shot, not as a photo.

B.One — Cardio session · Tropical

B.One

Cardio session · Tropical

A moving series, outdoors. The tropical setting works for the image instead of fighting it.

Miami — Wynwood · Training

Miami

Wynwood · Training

Where I got my visual-arts training. That eye is what I bring back to Guadeloupe.

What people ask me most.

How soon do I get my photos?

Retouched files are delivered through a private online gallery, typically within 21 working days of the shoot. The gallery stays open for 3 months — download and back up your files before it closes.

I'm awkward in front of a camera. Will it work?

That is the sentence I hear most, and it is exactly why every shoot starts with ten minutes without a camera. Thirty years on stage taught me how to direct a body: I give you the pose, the weight, the look. You don't have to invent anything.

Where do you travel?

Anywhere in Guadeloupe. Travel is included within 30 km of Le Gosier. Beyond that — including Marie-Galante, Les Saintes and Saint-Martin — it is quoted per project.

Who owns the rights to the images?

I remain the copyright holder, as French intellectual property law provides. The SHOOT and DIRECTION packages grant you personal use: private prints and your personal social media. Commercial use (advertising, business website, press, packaging) requires a written licence, included in the FILM package and in the Signature pack. Any publication credits © SLIIIME-FWI or @snooppineau.

What if it rains on the day?

For outdoor sessions I offer a reschedule if the weather compromises the result or safety. Rescheduling costs nothing — no fee, no penalty.

How do I book a date?

Every project gets a named quote, valid 30 days. The date is held on a 30% deposit, credited against the final price. The balance is due on delivery. Bank transfer, cash or secure online payment.

Can I ask for extra retouching?

One round of feedback is included in every package. Beyond that, or if the brief changes, I issue an additional quote. The selection of delivered images is my professional call: discarded files and RAWs are not delivered.

Can I cancel or move the date?

More than 14 days before the session: free reschedule, or the deposit is refunded. Between 14 days and 48 hours: the deposit is kept. Under 48 hours or no-show: the session is payable in full.

Let’s talk. I reply within 24h.
