Loretta Cester Photographer

Loretta Cester is a portrait photographer based in Gaeta who places the search for personal essence at the heart of her practice. With a background in theatre, television and film as an actress, Loretta brings a narrative sensitivity to her sessions: each image is conceived to tell a portion of the sitter’s inner story. Why choose Loretta for your portrait? She is a portrait specialist who aims to deliver authentic, warm images with strong communicative value. Whether you need a personal portrait, a professional headshot for a CV or LinkedIn, or a corporate portrait, Loretta tailors each service to your needs. Her discreet, conversational approach helps even those who are less accustomed to the camera feel comfortable and confident. Her style favors naturalness: when possible she prefers to work outdoors to take advantage of light and settings that make shots feel spontaneous, while remaining fully adaptable to studio sessions, indoor locations or your workplace. During the shoot Loretta guides gently, suggesting poses and gestures, and creates a relaxed atmosphere to capture sincere expressions and enduring images. How she works: every project begins with an initial consultation to understand the communicative goal of the portrait (personal, professional, corporate). This is followed by choosing the location and essential styling to best highlight the person, the shoot itself with careful attention to light and composition, and professional post-production that respects the authenticity of the image. The result is carefully produced photos ready for professional profiles, corporate materials or artistic portfolios. In addition to traditional portrait photography, Loretta also creates showreel books and photographic portfolios for actors and dancers, applying the same care to representing character and stage presence. She works primarily across Lazio — including Gaeta, Formia and Sperlonga — and is available to travel on request with expense reimbursement. If you are looking for a portrait photographer in Gaeta who combines artistic experience, empathy and attention to detail, Loretta offers a photographic journey built on listening, creativity and respect for your image.
