Yes. My role is to guide you through every pose and every detail that makes an image powerful. Hands, eyes, shoulders, even the smallest nuances carry meaning. I will direct you throughout the session so that every element supports the artistic intention of the photograph.

Yes. Every session includes professional make-up, done by my wife Tina, who is also present to support you during the shoot. Her presence creates a reassuring, collaborative atmosphere.

Just you, myself, and Tina. She assists me throughout the session. If you prefer her to leave after the make-up, that can be arranged. You may also bring one guest if you wish.

Yes, one guest is welcome, provided they remain discreet during the shoot. I will explain a few simple rules to ensure the session flows smoothly.

Not at all. While most women come to me for my fine-art nude style, there are many alternatives. Lingerie, silk or transparent fabrics can create equally artistic results. You are free to decide what feels right for you.

Keep it simple: favorite jewelry, accessories with personal meaning. Together, we will decide what contributes best to the photographs.

Yes. Lingerie is usually ideal, but you may also bring outfits that reflect your taste or help you feel comfortable. I will guide you in choosing what works best with my artistic style.

I like to make sure that my clients feel relaxed without having to stress about it. The session itself starts when you’re ready and can easily last 3 hours. Even so, I bet you’ll be surprised to see how quick it goes by.

Outside of Zurich, my photo sessions also take place in other professional photo studios in Switzeland and Monaco.

Of course. I encourage it. I want you to feel fully prepared and free to ask any questions before we meet.

I understand, however all of the photos you can see have only been taken with persons who were not models and had very little or no experience. Subsequently, some of them collaborated with me in other shootings for my portfolio, but I never show photos with professional model to my clients. Why? Because I think it’s the easiest way to prove that you too can obtain such wonderful photos of yourself with just a little bit of help and goodwill.

Yes. Each client is unique, and my responsibility is to create photographs that meet the highest artistic standards. Through guidance, trust, and collaboration, you will leave with images of extraordinary quality.

That is natural. The make-up session with Tina gives us time to connect and relax. Once we begin, you will quickly feel comfortable and confident.

Yes. Retouching is included, always with subtlety. Temporary imperfections are removed, but I never alter the features that define your individuality. Lighting and posing also help highlight your best qualities.

I will show you previews during the shoot, and often we review the full set at the end. The final selection takes a few days to ensure the best choices.

Fine art products are crafted by partner labs in Italy and Germany. Quality takes time — expect around 6–8 weeks for production and delivery.

No. Privacy is absolute. I never share client images.

Simply email me at marco@marcobarberaphoto.com. Your booking is confirmed once the session fee is paid and the contract is signed.

You must be at least 18 years old on the date of the session.

Usually 2–4 months ahead, sometimes less depending on my travel schedule.

Yes, when I am travelling for photo weeks, I also book weekend sessions. In Zurich, Sunday sessions are rare and by exception only.

Yes. Gift cards are available, a unique and unforgettable present.

Yes, your photographs remain available for at least one year after your session.
