CHRISTELLE TERZIAN

 

Woman in brown beanie takes mirror selfie holding pink iPhone in tiled bathroom with wall sconce.

I shoot on film because some things deserve the time to be truly seen.


My background in hospitality management and a master's in food sustainability shape how I photograph — I don't just capture a plate, a face, or a garment. I look for the truth beneath the surface.


In Dubai's saturated market, film photography cuts through the visual clutter with its inherent authenticity — whether I'm documenting a couple's portrait, a restaurant's morning service, or a fashion label's latest collection.


I work in English, French, Spanish, and conversational Arabic, enabling people and brands to share their stories in their own voice.

SOFÍA

"Shooting with Christelle was such a lovely experience. She shared her vision throughout the whole process and made everything feel easy and natural from the start. As it was my first professional photoshoot, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but she made me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.


She gave direction in a cheerful, kind, and encouraging way. What I loved most is that she doesn’t just take beautiful photos—she captures who you are. The images felt genuinely like me, rather than just a pose, and that’s something really special."
