Hi, I’m Michele Mateus!

Vancouver portrait photographer committed to creating photos that are honest, intimate and badass. I specialise in creating emotive images, and work with women, femmes and gender queer folks in my studio or at a chosen location.

Some folks come to celebrate a milestone. Others are entering a new chapter. Many are simply curious. Whatever brings someone into my studio, each one arrives having already decided that : this one’s for them.

You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t need a big production or a makeover. Just an intention. You’re not a project. You’re the frequency, and I get to tune in and help you feel seen, as art.
