Elen Larcebeau is a Bordeaux-based jewelry house, renowned in Bordeaux for the quality and uniqueness of its designs. The collaboration with vrai studio two distinct projects.

The first is a photo essay of the boutique—its facade, interior, and workshop—intended to support the brand’s communications. The second is a studio shoot with full artistic direction and styling: staging the jewelry, selecting materials that complement the pieces, and setting up lighting to capture the precision of the jewelry craftsmanship. Photographing jewelry requires an understanding of what each piece embodies—the material, the shape, and the finish—before deciding how to showcase it. Art direction and styling are inseparable from the photography process when the subject is of such precision.
