With a passion for environmental portraiture, location photography has become a way of life and a style with which to create distinctive images of people in all walks of life.
I am a Boston-based portrait photographer specializing in editorial, corporate and advertising photography, with a studio located at the renowned Western Avenue Studios in Lowell, Massachusetts.
I think there is no more interesting subject matter than people. Knowing that no two people are alike, and no one person will look exactly the same from one day to the next, or in different settings, is what makes my art so interesting and exciting. Each day is a new opportunity to work with someone new, painting the person with light, drawing him or her out, and capturing forever what makes that person unique and special.
Because of my experiences in the corporate world and as an artist and musician, I understand clients seeking professional and unique photographic images. I work with concept, composition and light to create a polished and complimentary image, all the while inviting clients to relax in an atmosphere of trust which enables me to create something alive, unique, and exciting. These are the qualities that a discerning client seeks.

What are people saying?
The New Entry Sustainable Farming Project has hired Adrien to photograph our project on numerous occasions, including an extensive project including several farmer profiles. Our program uses an inordinate amount of photographs in our marketing media, and since working with Adrien, his photographs have come to constitute the majority of those used. His portrait photographs in particular are remarkably telling of a person’s life, work and personality. Adrien is also extremely easy and enjoyable to work with. I have worked with him in his studio and in the field, and he is excellent in candid action shots and choreographed shots alike. He makes his subjects feel at ease, and is very friendly. I recommend Adrien without reservation, and look forward to working with him again myself.
When I look into a camera lens my body seizes up and my face takes on a life of its own. Adrien was able to get me past that and provide me with a contact sheet full of wonderful options.
Wow, you’re a great storyteller. Honored to have been photographed by you.
Adrien spent two days onsite at our office. He was a pleasure to work with and shot mountains of marvelous photos. Highly recommended!
