Selected Visual Projects
– Connecticut & Beyond

Here is a selection of projects we’ve had the pleasure to carry out for clients based in the United States and Europe.

Portraits, videos, websites, or brochures — each project reflects a tailored approach, attentive collaboration, and a consistent commitment to visual coherence.

Selected Projects in Photography, Web, and Design

Each of these projects reflects our commitment to clear, high-quality visual storytelling — tailored to the unique needs of research institutes, creative professionals, and cultural organizations. From portraits and websites to brochures and digital content, each piece was crafted with precision, creativity, and long-term consistency in mind.

Portraits of Leading Scientists – Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

A black-and-white portrait series taken during the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Symposia of 2011, 2012, and 2013. I set up a mobile studio to photograph some of the institute’s most prestigious guests — including numerous Nobel, Lasker, and Breakthrough laureates, as well as other world-renowned researchers in their respective fields.

Inspired by the aesthetic of Yousuf Karsh, the portraits emphasize the presence and individuality of each scientist. Several of these images are now displayed in key areas of the CSHL campus and continue to serve as a visual tribute to contemporary biological research.

Black and white portrait of Walter Gilbert, Nobel Prize-winning molecular biologist.

Portrait of Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, PhD, with a composed expression, resting her chin on her clasped hands, in a grayscale studio setting.

Portrait of Craig Mello, PhD, smiling in a studio-lit black and white photograph.

Black and white portrait of Sir John Bertrand Gurdon, Nobel laureate and pioneer in developmental biology and nuclear reprogramming.

Black and white portrait of Richard Henderson, Nobel Laureate in Structural Biology.

Video Portrait of a Winemaker’s World

For Gros Frère et Sœur, a family estate rooted in Burgundy, we produced a short film capturing the quiet precision of their winemaking and the natural beauty of their vineyards. Filmed on location, the video highlights both the human gestures and the seasonal rhythms behind each bottle.

This project reflects our approach to video: discreet, immersive, and attuned to atmosphere. We aim to reveal what makes a place or a process meaningful — without staging, without excess, just through light, sound, and truth.

Website – www.rock-of-science.com

A custom-built website designed for a private mineral collector who wanted one thing above all: to let the minerals speak for themselves. With several hundred specimens, and more added each year, the site serves multiple purposes:

Centralize and catalog the collection in a single digital archive
Safely view fragile or light-sensitive pieces without physical handling
Explore micro-details through high-resolution photography and zoom tools
Appreciate shape and texture via short video clips
Filter the collection by mineral type, chemical family, or chemical element — for example, viewing all specimens containing fluorine with one click

We handled the full production: scientific photography (including macros), video, web development, taxonomy logic, and interface optimization — all focused on clarity, speed, and elegance.

A custom interface designed for clarity and exploration

The Rock of Science website was tailored for a private collector to explore and manage a large mineral collection. The structure allows both the owner and visitors to browse specimens by mineral type, chemical family, or elements — or to view detailed pages with HD photos and video clips. Each section of the site was designed to enhance usability while preserving scientific rigor.

All specimens presented side by side in a minimalist, distraction-free grid.
Each specimen has its own page with macro photography, data, and navigation tools.
Dedicated to minerals with short video clips, ideal for appreciating structure and depth.
Fluorite, calcite, and other groups presented together by mineral type.
Interactive periodic table that filters minerals by chemical elements.
A way to browse specimens according to their scientific family classification.

Graphic Design – JAX Cancer Center Annual Reports (20023

For the Jackson Laboratory Cancer Center, we designed their first-ever annual report — a structured and elegant document that highlights cutting-edge research on cancer, aging, and AI.

The layout was built around clarity and function: strong typographic structure, clear sectioning, and subtle visual rhythm allowed scientific data and institutional messaging to coexist in a cohesive, reader-friendly format.

Scientific Illustrations for JAX Cancer Center Publications

In addition to the annual reports, we designed several scientific illustrations for JAX Cancer Center researchers to be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Each image was crafted in strict accordance with the researchers’ specifications, ensuring both scientific accuracy and visual clarity.
