My name is Benoît and photography is both my passion and my trade. I love working with people and ensuring my clients have the best possible experience.
I understand how tough it can be to pick a photographer, especially on something like Bark.

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The second to taking a great photograph is connection, either with the person or the situation, and focus. When I am on a shoot at an event, I am alive to every little nuance of the room or the subject. It takes that level of attention to take a great photograph.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
I would carefully clear up the client's expectations, to make sure we're on the same page before we start:
- What is the deadline?
- What is the budget?
- Do you have examples of work you'd like to emulate in any way?
- Do you want to shoot on location or in the studio?
- How many files would you like edited and retouched?
These questions will vary depending on what sort of project it is, some are more complex than others.
What do you love most about your job?
I love meeting new people and getting to work with them. It's great to hear people's stories, or to attend important events in their lives. How special is it to take someone's portrait, something that can be fraught with anxiety? How unique is it be able to attend a stranger's wedding or engagement, or their birthday, and be among their closest friends? Being a photographer is wonderful.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started my own business because I enjoy working directly with clients and getting out into the world to do my work. I also enjoy a very healthy work-life balance this way.
Why should our clients choose you?
You should pick me because I always do what it takes to get the job done to a high standard. I never leave things undone and I will make sure you are happy with my work. I deliver my work quickly and efficiently, and picking your shots will be easy thanks to my modern website (benoitga.com).
Headshot Photography for Actors, Performers, Dancers
Having worked with agents for many years, I know what it takes to get a headshot that stands out from the identical shots done by other photographers. I'll coach you through the entire shoot and we'll work together to get some shots to be proud of.
Professional Headshots
Whether you're looking to spruce up your LinkedIn profile or for headshots of your whole staff, you be happy that you hired me. I have worked with companies big and small, using available space and bring my own lighting on site. If you're an individual we can work through a few different looks and styles, all from the comfort of a private studio.
Documentary Style Event Photography
My style of event photography is to stay out of the way and capture people truly enjoying themselves. My clients have often been amazed by the shots I have got, wondering how they didn't see me taking the shot! I like to use natural light where possible, and I use high end gear that can handle low light with ease.
