Patrick Bellair

Born in Paris in 1977, Patrick Bellair was still very young when his mother introduced him to photography. By the time he made his first picture, a picture of his sister, he knew he was going to make his hobby a career for life. Inspired by the world around him, he is constantly watching trends in the world of beauty photography that allows him to propose avant-garde achievements.

Specialized in beauty photography, jewelery and cosmetics, he takes these shots with a FUJIFILM GFX system, Profoto lighting, and mainly uses beauty bowls and a Mola Manti. Beauty photography, certainly subjective, must correspond to an ideal, a certain perfection that suggests irreproachable expertise.

His quest for beauty is made of perpetual questioning. Knowing how to bring out beauty in an image needs an expert eye, a visual sensibility and specific skills. From staging to makeup techniques, all the steps are meticulously done for an irreproachable result.

The success of a beauty photograph is the collaboration of the makeup artist, the hairdresser, the photographer and the model. Complicity and mutual understanding are essential to create the desired atmosphere and style.

French Beauty photographer Patrick Bellair uses GF45-100mmF4 R LM OIS WR in the studio.
