A trained eye
Fidelity without flatness.
Every object asks for a different photographic solution. Varnish, gilding, lacquer, glass, stone, textile, and metal each respond to light in their own way.
Training in art history and museology at the École du Louvre, experience at the Château de Versailles, and years in the antiques field inform how Caroline approaches each work: accurately, carefully, and with an understanding of context.
Selected work
Material, form, and presence.
Paintings
Controlled light that preserves color, varnish, texture, and frame.
Sculpture
Form, patina, and dimensionality rendered without losing presence.
Decorative Arts
Reflective and gilded surfaces handled with restraint and clarity.
Furniture & Objects
Proportion, construction, material, and condition shown accurately.
Jewelry
Precise close work balancing brilliance, metal, stone, and detail.
Collections
Consistent image systems for inventories, archives, and online platforms.
The standard
The object comes first.
The image must be faithful enough for documentation and compelling enough for publication. Neither goal requires making the work feel clinical.
- Color
- Neutral, controlled, and consistent from object to object.
- Surface
- Reflections shaped to reveal material rather than distract from it.
- Scale
- Full views, profiles, details, and installation context as required.
- Delivery
- High-resolution, color-managed files prepared to client specifications.
Prepared for use
One commission, many destinations.
Caroline has photographed several thousand works for museums, galleries, antique dealers, and collectors. Image sets can be planned for publications, exhibitions, archives, inventories, press, and online platforms from the outset.
From object to publication
Photography made to travel beyond the collection.
Caroline’s photographs have appeared in museum catalogues and books produced with the Musée d’Orsay, Musée de l’Orangerie, the Getty, the Art Institute of Chicago, Gallimard, Hazan / Hachette, and Flammarion.
