For founders, creatives, and professionals who want to look like themselves, at their best.
A strong professional portrait should not feel like a corporate headshot.
It should show something of the person behind the work.
I photograph founders, independent professionals, creatives and people building a personal brand. My approach comes from years of street photography, paying attention to light, gesture, character and the moments that feel natural rather than over-arranged.
The result is a set of photographs you can use across your professional life without looking generic.
Who this is for
For people who need photographs that represent who they are and what they do.
This may include:
- founders and entrepreneurs
- executives and independent professionals
- artists and creatives
- consultants and experts
- people building a personal brand
You might need one strong portrait for LinkedIn, a company profile or a speaker bio.
Or you might need a broader set of images for your website, press, content and professional communication.
The session is built around that purpose.
More than a headshot
I am not interested in putting everyone against the same background and producing the same photograph.
Before the session, we consider:
- where the photographs will be used
- how formal or informal they should feel
- the environment that fits your work
- clothing and visual tone
- the balance between portraits and wider contextual images
The setting may be your workplace, a studio, an interior, or the streets of Milan.
The location should help tell the story, not simply act as a backdrop.
The approach
Built around how you want to be seen
The session starts with the purpose of the images and the impression you want them to create.
Natural direction
You do not need to know how to pose. I give clear, simple directions while keeping the photographs relaxed and believable.
A photographer’s eye, not a template
I work with light, architecture, gesture, and atmosphere to create images with character.
Photographs that work together
The final selection is edited into a coherent set so that the images can work across your website, professional profiles, press, and content.
The approach
1. We define what the photographs need to do
Tell me about your work, where the images will be used and how you want to be seen.
2. We shape the session
We choose the right location, visual direction, clothing and time of day.
3. We photograph
I guide you throughout the session, adjusting the approach as we work.
4. You receive your final gallery
Your edited photographs are delivered through a private online gallery, ready for professional use.

About Me
I am Ersan Ceviz, a Milan-based photographer born in Istanbul.
My work spans street, portrait, lifestyle, and commercial photography, but it all comes from the same way of seeing.
I photograph people with an artist’s eye shaped by years of street photography.
That means paying attention not only to how someone looks, but also to gesture, presence, light and the moments in between.
Tell me what you need the photographs for
