Lisbon Studio Photographer — Portrait Session Olivier Perrin

Portraits, families, duos — in a calm, guided atmosphere

 

I love working in the studio because it’s highly technical work, full of research — but above all, it’s about time spent connecting, human before anything else. You may thus arrive with excitement, sometimes a little apprehension too (that’s completely normal), and my job is to help you forget the technical side so we can enjoy the moment together and get the best photo — the one you’ll keep!

There’s indeed always a moment in a session when something shifts — a release, a moment of ease, in harmony with the music and the light. You therefore have to let that moment come: that’s the photo you’ll keep!

What my clients say about their session in Lisbon

Elegant studio portrait photography in Lisbon

Paloma

“That day, I didn’t want to smile politely — I wanted to be seen as I truly am: strong, composed, with nothing left to prove. Chin raised, eyes steady, I let that confidence show through — the one I spent years building. Olivier knew exactly how to capture that: not a mask, but the woman I’ve become.”

Marie-Amina

“My hands clasped against my cheek, my eyes looking straight into the lens — I hid nothing that day. No forced grin, just that quiet gentleness that truly feels like me. Olivier knew how to wait for the right moment, the one where I stopped thinking about the photo and simply became present. Today, when I look at this portrait, it’s myself I recognize.”

Simon

“At Milan airport, just before leaving for Lisbon, I was looking for a local photographer, hoping to discover a fresh spark of creativity. My instinct led me to Olivier — and it didn’t let me down. He knows how to handle everything with such smooth communication. I don’t know many photographers in the city, but I’m certain Olivier is the best!”

Christine

“This session was, for me, a bubble outside of time. Through his lens, Olivier let me appear light, radiant, at peace — even though, inside, it was chaos and darkness. A moment of pure pleasure, raw, free, without artifice.
I wish every woman could one day have one of these moments in front of Olivier’s lens and feel beautiful, or even more beautiful. He is calm, attentive, and knows how to capture the perfect moment.”

“There are gestures she makes without even thinking — an arm wrapping around my neck, a cheek resting against mine. In the studio, far from the noise of everyday life, our bond revealed itself, simple and sincere. The black and white only brought out what was already there between us: a connection, a tenderness, a moment stolen from time.”

Asma

“I pulled that collar close against me and looked straight into the lens — no shyness, no holding back. In the darkness of the studio, all that remained was my face, my skin, my gaze. This is a side of me I rarely show: intense, mysterious, a little wild. This photo is the woman I become when no one asks me to be good.”

They share their experience

Here are, moreover, other client reviews about their experience.

Studio portrait of a man, side lighting, Lisbon

Jean-Michel Albert

When I found out that Olivier does studio photos, I immediately wanted to try it, even though I don’t like having my photo taken.

I knew it would be easy to do, but at the same time I knew I’d get a lot of work done.
Olivier loves technique so much that he approaches light as another character in the photo, a presence that needs to be mastered and negotiated between darkness and all the nuances of shadow.
The shots are of high quality and you have a choice: colour or black and white prints, the effect is different but always artistic.

A pleasant experience that I recommend.

Cyril Laurin

With empathy and listening skills, Olivier made me feel confident and at ease during the “Premium Session” we did.

During the 2 hours of a very professional shoot, he was able to meet my expectations and even go beyond them thanks to his sound advice.

The session took place in a serene, relaxed, almost intimate atmosphere.

I had an excellent time with a competent and affable photographer who I warmly recommend.

Marie-Line Darcy

A photo session is about taking the time to accept the other self: the one that accompanies you, precedes you or follows you.

We prefer to ignore it because it sows the seeds of pitfalls, time, wrinkles and weariness.

The talented portrait painter knows how to help you take this other person by the hand, without boredom or complacency.

Fernando Carmino Marques

Olivier asked me to forget myself so that he could show me who I truly am. To reveal what I rarely show, what lies deep inside me — the photo session became, for me, an exercise in discovery, under the photographer’s attentive and discreet gaze….

 

Professional corporate portrait in a studio in Lisbon

Karen Vanazzi

Here is a short testimony from someone who doesn’t feel comfortable in front of the lens: the experience of being photographed by the talented Olivier Perrin (@olivierperrinphotographe) — an award-winning French photographer I had the joy of meeting in Lisbon — was incredible.

Olivier’s skill reflects not only his perfected technique, but also his unique artistic sensibility. The way he manipulates light, composition and details reveals his mastery of the art of photography, and his kindness creates a comfortable atmosphere that transforms the photoshoot into a moment that captures not only images, but also emotions and stories.

Thank you for this beautiful photoshoot, Olivier Perrin! 😊

Marie Thérèse Ferreira

It’s not the camera that makes the photographer — it’s the eye behind it that elevates the image, the moment.

As the famous photographer Ansel Adams so aptly put it: “Only images that are strongly captured have the power to penetrate deep into the memory, to stay there, to become, in short, unforgettable.”

That’s what Olivier Perrin achieved with mine. Thank you Olivier, for such a rewarding experience, for your professionalism, your kindness and your patience!
Only a good photographer can achieve results like yours!
Thank you, and I’d advise anyone to go through this experience, because afterwards you feel wonderfully good!

Olivier made me feel very strong emotions during the session.

He managed to help me embrace this experience and truly enjoy it. Olivier had this ability to put me at ease and let me go. You can feel, at every moment, his passion, his technique and his professionalism for photography. He shares his secrets for a successful photo, among many others.

A real moment of connection, silence and serenity. Thank you again, Olivier, for this beautiful experience — I recommend it.

Isaura Antunes

As Barthes said, in photography, a pipe is a pipe.
In other words, what is seen can only be what is represented. I would say yes, but not always, because there are those who, being on the other side of the camera, leave their invisible presence in the photograph (and in the subject), thus helping to fulfil this premise.
This is the case, at least in this sequence of images. Olivier’s presence succeeded in bringing out the best in me and connecting me with the lens, without tension.
What you see in these images is me, without metaphors.
A pipe is a pipe. Thank you, Olivier.

Jean François David

A great experience, this photo session with Olivier Perrin.
Gostei do momento e gosto do resultado.
The time passed quickly.
Olivier, the master of ceremonies, knew not to be too directive while still being fully present.
At first I was quite tense, with a false nonchalance and a forced smile. Little by little I began to enjoy myself, to make the most of the moment.
And little by little, the session became more enjoyable and the photos more successful.

Audrey Doigniaux

Olivier is a photographer who knows how to play with light, and shows professionalism and creativity.
Beyond the technical side of photography, which he masters perfectly, Olivier knows how to put his subject at ease with patience, gently helping us reconnect with our own image.
Thank you for this session, which almost made us forget our insecurities!
