About Lucian
Good portraits start with feeling at ease.
I am Lucian Badea, the founder and photographer behind PhotoTale Studio in Gainesville, Florida.
Most people don't spend much time in front of a camera. I'll guide you through posture and expression, paying attention to the small details so you don't have to figure everything out on your own.
Whether you need a professional headshot, an acting portrait, or a session on location, my goal is a polished photograph that still feels like you. Your selected final images are retouched with a natural finish.
Being a parent has shaped the way I photograph families and children too. It taught me to pay attention to small expressions, timing, and the kind of presence that cannot be forced.
