Michael Oliva | Fotograf

Hello, I'm Michael Oliva from Michle and portrait photography is both my profession and my passion. As a portrait photographer I focus on cinematic lighting, careful attention to detail and a personal approach to every client. My work is not just about capturing a face — it's about creating an image that tells a story and represents a person with dignity, whether for private or professional use. Why choose my portraits? I combine technical skill (I work with mirrorless SONY cameras, for example) with a sensitive, human approach to the model. I specialize in professional portraits and corporate photography — from personal presentation portraits to business and LinkedIn headshots. I understand how important it is for a portrait to convey professionalism while remaining natural, so I work with lighting and composition that highlight character and emotion without forced posing. My approach to a shoot is always personal and planned. We start with a consultation where we discuss the purpose of the images, preferred style and location (studio, interior or outdoor locations around Michle). I prepare a lighting and styling outline so the resulting photos match your expectations. During the session I create a relaxed atmosphere — I will lead light conversation, give gentle guidance and capture natural moments. The images are then carefully edited in post‑production, including advanced retouching, so every portrait looks professional and ready for personal or corporate presentation. Besides individual portraits, I offer corporate headshots and business photography tailored to LinkedIn and other professional channels. If you need advice on posing, wardrobe or would like a short coaching session before the shoot, I can arrange that. I also provide one‑to‑one camera training and basic posing lessons for those who want to feel more confident in front of the lens. If you are looking for a portrait photographer in Michle who combines cinematic lighting, a keen eye for detail and a human, personalised approach, get in touch and we'll arrange the first step toward your new portraits.
