BY APPOINTMENT · FRENCH RIVIERA · MAY–SEPTEMBER 2026
Private Sessions
Not a photo shoot. A private commission to an artist who lives in Saint-Tropez between commissions and ongoing documentary projects.
Saint-Tropez. Cannes. Monaco. At your villa, on your yacht, at a location we choose together.
TO PHOTOGRAPH what Won’t wait.
The session is not photographed. It is commissioned.
From €2,500 to bespoke commissions · private@cazeba.com
THE DIFFERENCE
Art Direction. Not Photography.
The same editorial process behind The Yamu by Philippe Starck and twenty years of commissioned work — now private, now yours. Creative direction, end to end.
Lighting designed for your space — natural light or studio flash, whatever the vision needs. You bring yourself. The rest is direction.
MOST PHOTOGRAPHERS WAIT FOR THE MOMENT. I BUILD IT.

THE PROCESS
FIVE STEPS.
01 — ENQUIRY
You write to private@cazeba.com. I respond within 2 hours during the day.
02 — CONSULTATION
Your vision, your location, your timing. I propose the right format. A non-refundable holding deposit confirms your dates exclusively.
03 — PREPARATION
Creative direction. A short creative brief — five questions — shapes the session. Wardrobe guidance follows. Everything decided before I arrive.
04 — THE COMMISSION
I arrive with the light the image needs — natural or flash. We create.
05 — DELIVERY
10–14 days. Private archive delivered to archive.cazeba.com — password protected, yours alone for 90 days. Signed archival works shipped worldwide, framing-ready. Digital files are not included.
ABOUT LOCATIONS
Some doors open by appointment. Others by introduction.
Villa, rooftop, yacht, beach, vineyard — often coordinated with the staff who already know you.
The gated estates of Les Parcs de Saint-Tropez and Cap Bénat are within the area I cover.
For restaurants, shops, private venues or any location requiring advance access: your team or assistant secures the arrangement before we confirm the date.
I arrive when access is confirmed.
For multi-location sessions (02, 03, 04), transfers between locations are coordinated by your team. I travel with my equipment in my own vehicle on land. Yacht-to-yacht or yacht-to-shore transfers via tender or chase boat as your captain arranges.
