Commercial Work

Studio HCR is the commercial practice of Hugo Chazot-Ranquet. Portrait, fashion and beauty photography for brands, magazines and private clients.

The work is built in the studio, with controlled light and a clear direction of the model. Clean images, made to serve a face, a garment or a campaign. Different briefs, the same eye and the same standards as the fine art work.

Commissions are open between France and India. For rates, availability and project discussion, get in touch.

The photographer works with lighting assistants on set. Styling, hair and makeup are arranged per project. Full production can be coordinated on request.

Standard deliverables include retouched high-resolution files with a 12-month usage licence for the agreed channels. Extended licences and full buyouts are available and quoted per project. All terms are confirmed in writing before the shoot.
