THE ART AND MAGIC OF BLACK AND WHITE PORTRAITS
A portrait photo studio
I photograph people, families, women, celebrities and body art.
Creating vintage fine-art black-and-white portraits to be printed, framed,
and to accompany you through time.
Montreal - New York - Panama
Your essence, your portraits, your prints,
artful, elegant, timeless
captured with presence and intention
Rooted in the early days of photography, this body of work reflects my hands-on exploration of film and printing — embracing contrast, nuance, and vintage processes to create rare, dramatic portraits with a strong presence and timeless appeal.
I celebrate family bonds and relationships, crafting fine art portraits that radiate connection and emotion to become a lasting legacy for you and your loved ones.
Elegance, strength, and beauty. I have been creating body artwork for decades. This ongoing fine art project welcomes dancers, circus performers, and anyone who wishes to have artistic portraits of their body in timeless, dramatic black and white.
For those who seek something beyond the studio and who resonate with my style, I am open to exploring special projects and travelling on location — your town, your home, your vacation spot, or any destination of your choice. It all begins with a shared vision and unfolds as we open the way to bring it to life.
From our first call to the moment you hold your artwork, I am devoted to offering you a fun, creative, moving experience that will lead to the crafting of timeless black-and-white fine art portraits — heirloom pieces to be cherished for generations.
My limited-edition photographs are part of my personal artistic work, exhibited in galleries and shown at selected art fairs. Over time, they have come to be sought after by collectors who value rarity and depth. Each piece belongs to a limited numbered edition, signed by me and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Crafted with care on archival materials, these black-and-white works are conceived as enduring pieces of art, destined to enrich and elevate any collection.
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!.

Sergio Veranes is one of the rare photographers with exceptionally refined esthetics and who can capture the essence of the person..

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.

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!

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 !

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
Professional dancer and dance teacher, I had the chance to do a photo shoot with Sergio Veranes, and it was such a special moment for me! I have wonderful memories of that day, especially of meeting him. He was incredibly professional and attentive, and the results were stunning! Thank you, Sergio — I really hope we get to work together again soon! I highly recommend everyone to experience a photoshoot with this photographer!
