Coligny Paris

Context

Coligny Paris is a photographic and film creation studio for individuals and events, led by photographer and director Gérard Harten. Portraits of personalities from the world of art, literature and cinema, high-end children's fashion for magazines and brands: his clients include Vogue, Céline, Kenzo and Harrods, and his shoots take him from Europe to the USA, China, the Middle East and South Africa. My mission: a showcase website presenting the studio, its gallery and its services.

Approach

I built the site on WordPress with Elementor, in two languages handled by TranslatePress: French at the root, English under /eng/. The gallery lays out 64 photographs in a justified grid with a lightbox, captioned with names like Vincent Lindon, Muriel Robin or Paul and Luana Belmondo. The Production and Heritage pages detail the services, from location scouting to Fine Art printing and the "portrait of objects" created with the AuctionArt auction house, while the About page introduces Gérard Harten and his partners, including PICTO and its platinum and palladium prints. Contact goes through a dedicated form, and the fonts are hosted locally.

Result

A bilingual showcase where visitors switch from French to English in one click. They browse the gallery, see what a Coligny production covers and reach the studio through the contact form. And Coligny Héritage, the service devised with AuctionArt, has its own page to present the portrait of objects to sellers and collectors alike.
