Scander (Skan-dr)

The Most Fun Photographer in Paris

The quintessential artist, Scander, was born a people person. They say a smile can change a life … well, it’s impossible not to fall in love with his beautiful smile. Scander makes it easy to have your photos taken and inspires you with seemingly limitless creative photo ideas.

Scander is a self-taught Parisian Photographer who started his career in 2015 in Japan, where the fascinating world of photography opened up to him.

His first job was with English Adventure, nestled in the beautiful mountains of Tsunan, Niigata. Scander worked for an English-only summer camp for kids …. which proved to be the perfect playground to enhance his portrait skills. To succeed, he needed to provide clear directions in English and be patient. Hey, kids are the most honest teacher, right?

His experience in Japan made him want to expand his boundaries—culturally and artistically. Scander also realized that any fulfilling career path would need to routinely expose him to happy people and the visual arts.

Back in Paris, Scander expanded his artistic range by photographing people of all walks of life. He’s done street photography, fashion models, boudoir, rappers, corporate branding projects, couple photoshoots, and weddings & events.

Believe it or not, Scander was shy as a kid. In fact, he was shy for as long as he can remember. All that changed when he forced himself out of his shell to photograph total strangers. Today, after more than 1,000 professional photoshoots, Scander is no longer shy.
