YOUR ARTWORK
The timeless elegance of silver prints, in a digital age.
My portraits are meant to live beyond the session. They become heirloom pieces — printed, framed, signed, and ready to hold your story for years to come.
For almost three decades, I have dedicated myself to fine art photography, represented in galleries and exhibited in museums and international art fairs.
I personally handle the printing and matting of my work. For larger formats, I collaborate with my carefully chosen long-standing partners in Montreal — trusted fine art printers and framers whose craftsmanship I deeply value — to ensure every piece you receive meets the highest standards and faithfully reflects my signature vintage style.
The Wall Art Edition
A portrait meant not only to be seen, but to inhabit your space.
Elegant, bold, and crafted to museum standards, each piece is printed on 100% cotton archival fine art paper and presented in handcrafted solid-wood frames — floating or classic — in white, black, or natural finishes.
Protected beneath crystal-clear museum acrylic, each work carries both presence and emotional depth.
Every print is signed on the back and paired with its corresponding digital file — a contemporary heirloom, created to endure.
Starting at $1,475
The Fine Art Portrait Box
For those who wish to keep their portraits close — not simply stored, but cherished.
This fully archival, black-anodized aluminum box is sleek, modern, and built to last. Beautifully crafted, it can be laser-etched with your name or a title of your choice, making it entirely personal.
Inside rests a carefully curated collection of fine art prints — loose or matted — presented with refined strength. Each print comes with its matching digital file.
Starting at $2,750
The Signed Prints
Infused with my personal vintage finish — perfect for collecting, creating a gallery wall, gifting, or simply bringing intimacy into your everyday space — your portraits are printed on archival 100% cotton fine art paper. Each print is signed and delivered with its matching high-resolution digital file.
Your prints are matted with museum-grade, 100% cotton, acid-free mats — ready to frame or display.
Starting at $400
The Session Fee
This includes the pre-session phone consultation, the portrait session itself, and a Zoom viewing and ordering appointment where we’ll select and design your artwork together.
Session at: $395
Digital Collections
For those who prefer to create their own displays, I offer sets of high-resolution, fully retouched digital portraits — ideal for personal printing, framing, or sharing with loved ones around the world.
Sets starting at $1,250
Framing and printing available upon personalized quotation.
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.
