Regard d'auteur

Quality chart

Regard d’auteur, a mark of confidence for the client

Regard d’auteur was created to allow future brides and grooms, future parents and parents to choose their photographer with their eyes closed. We guarantee that each of our photographers is professional, experienced and respects all the principles that we believe are essential to achieve a photo service that meets your requirements, whether it is a wedding photo report or a portrait photo session.

This label was created in a collaborative way by professional photographers recognized by their peers. They have written together a quality charter, signed by each of our members. We also require supporting documents from each photographer to guarantee their professionalism and the quality of their services.

Each photographer member of Regard d’auteur commits to his clients to provide them with a service that meets the requirements of the quality charter validated by the community.
