Lavender May – Elegance and Theatricality in Motion

In the heart of Old Montreal, where history meets modernity, we collaborated with burlesque artist Lavender May for an artistic portrait session that blurs the line between performance and intimacy. With the talented Sophie Parrot on makeup, every detail was meticulously crafted to reflect the bold yet refined aesthetic that defines Lavender’s stage presence. Set against the textured backdrops of cobblestone streets and aged facades, the session played with contrasts—between movement and stillness, light and shadow, the theatrical and the deeply personal. The visual approach embraced classic glamour with a contemporary edge, capturing the essence of burlesque as both an art form and an expression of identity. Each frame sought to highlight not just the intricate costumes and dramatic makeup but the energy and confidence that make Lavender May a captivating performer. This project was more than a portrait session—it was a tribute to self-expression, timeless beauty, and the transformative power of performance.
