Benoît Hogedé Photographe

A specialist in family photography based in the Saint-Pol-sur-Mer area, I consider myself first and foremost a portrait photographer: my goal is to tell your story with authenticity and light. Since 2008, my work has been guided by a simple, reassuring idea: photography is a meeting. That’s why every family session begins with a conversation to understand your wishes, relax the atmosphere and prepare a setup that truly reflects you. My approach favors the natural — no stiff poses, but stolen moments, bursts of laughter and tender gestures. Whether in the studio at Malo-les-Bains or during a lifestyle session outdoors across the Dunkerquois and Dunkirk area, I shape lighting and settings to flatter each member of your family. For the youngest, I’m used to guiding children and newborns with gentleness: care, pacing and the baby’s safety are central to every session. You can also choose a Home Cocoon session to preserve the comfort and intimacy of your home. I offer specific creations such as the Family Box — a multi-frame composition ideal for multi-generational photos or for capturing the spontaneity of little ones — as well as birthday sessions and other family events, always designed so the experience becomes a shared moment. My post-production work remains discreet and natural: retouching that respects your image while highlighting the subtleties of your relationships. Working with me means benefiting from personalized support: pre-session preparation, a relaxed atmosphere on the day, and a professional photographic result that will freeze moments in time. Whether you want posed portraits, everyday moments or more artistic images, I commit to capturing memories that will endure. For families in the area — Saint-Pol-sur-Mer, Malo-les-Bains, Dunkirk and the Dunkerquois — I’ll be happy to welcome you to the studio or come to the place where you feel most comfortable to create your images.
