The Viewing & Ordering
Within two weeks of the session, me meet for your private viewing over Zoom. This is the moment every client loves! Together, we'll select your favorites and decide how you'd like to order them.
04 The Artwork Delivery
I turn your selections into stunning finished pieces - fine art prints, wall art or digital collections - and deliver them with care, ready to be enjoyed for years.
How about a portrait session that tells your story with art and soul, one that yields museum grade prints to treasure in time or proudly display as striking wall art in your home?
Whether it’s your family's warm and playful connection, the quiet strength of a soulful portrait, a glamorous cinematic piece, or the sculptural elegance of the body, I capture each with depth and cohesion, transforming every moment into a true work of art.
With decades behind the camera and in the darkroom, I have mastered the craft of turning intimate moments into expressive, bold, black-and-white portraits that will carry your story timelessly forward.
Your story deserves to be framed.

TESTIMONIALS
Sergio Veranes is one of the rare photographers with exceptionally refined esthetics and who can capture the essence of the person..
Kent Nagano
How fortunate to have been photographed by Sergio Veranes! His exceptional talent has been appreciated by the readers of the Montréal International Jazz Festival programs and my autobiography (published by Éditions La Presse), as well as during an exhibition at Place des Arts.
Alain Simard
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.
Valeria Galluccio
One of the most beautiful photo sessions I've ever experienced. Sergio captures the essence of our emotions, creating vivid and striking images full of feeling. It was a true privilege for me. Thank you, Sergio!
Cat Dio
A joyful, easy, relaxed, and profound session with an artist as sensitive as he is talented. A true connection that visibly expresses itself in a result where the subject's soul shines through... A great artist! Pure pleasure and meaning! Thank you, Sergio! Very Much!.
Christian Bégin
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!
Élourdes Pierre
Such a pleasure to work with such talent. He has a gift when it comes to making people feel good about themselves, the pictures are always stunning, no surprise there, the expertise and natural ease with the lens is unbelievable. Not to mention his personal style as a photographer makes him a little gem in the world!
Thank you Sergio !
Saskya Pauze-Begin
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!
Anne-Marie Cadieux
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!!
Véronique Giasson
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.
Victor Diaz Lamich
Having always been inspired by the elegance, sensuality and powerful expression of the human body, I have dedicated part of my lifetime’s work photographing it. I take pride in these limited editions fine art photos that do more than decorate. They offer a constant reminder of the beauty and resilience inherent in the human form.
Whether you’re looking to enhance a modern interior or add depth to a classic setting, these photographs serve as refining additions to any art collection.
