Working with Sergio is a journey into the unknown of who I am, and I always emerge with a deeper understanding of myself. From the very first moment, I felt I could express myself without judgment, without needing to achieve a specific result. Our exchange took place on both a professional and spiritual level. I discovered new possibilities for existing both in form and spirit. This brought me great joy and resulted in beautiful photographs. Thank you so much, Sergio.

To be photographed by Sergio Veranes is a unique experience in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, free of artifice, where a smile, a gesture, or a glance, captured naturally throughout the session, reveal the true beauty of being human. Thank you so much, Sergio!

I had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot with Sergio Veranes in 2019. He approached me to participate in a series of "natural" portraits. The atmosphere in the studio was truly pleasant and relaxed, and the photos turned out beautifully!

It was truly a privilege to collaborate with Sergio. A photographer with immense experience, deeply passionate, and able to articulate and target what he seeks from the artist in front of his lens, while also allowing great freedom. A genuine collaboration, with real sharing and plenty of exchanges. He doesn't just look for simple aesthetic forms; he strives to bring out movement, emotion, a state of mind, and an atmosphere in his photos. The series I am part of, which he produced with several other movement artists, is sublime, powerful, and truly highlights the beauty of the body. Thank you for everything, Sergio; I am so thrilled with the result!!

Incredible photographer, very easy to work with he is very helpful in finding the right face and body angles but giving also a lot of freedom. Sergio knows perfectly how to use lights and shadow in a very subtle and poetic way. It’s a pleasure working with him.

Arthur Morel Van Hyfte

I allowed myself to be captivated by a Spanish/Cuban/American/Frenchman, now also a Quebecker. Having settled in Montreal some time ago, he is one of those great ones who made photography his life, his livelihood, his passion. From Paris to Milan, from Miami to New York, from Panama to Montreal, all have seen and admired his art. He has photographed many celebrities of this world, as well as complete strangers, and today, he pauses in the City of a Hundred Steeples to capture our portrait. His "Aura" project seeks to show that what gives Montreal its superb uniqueness is indeed the soul of those who live here...

Thank you, Sergio.
