About Us
Chris and Karissa Leonard
Chris and Karissa are a husband and wife team who have experience in photography, videography and entrepreneurship. Both Chris and Karissa were introduced to photography as children by their respective parents, who were keen amateurs.
Since meeting in Brisbane, Australia in 2004, they have photographed locations around the world together, initially as a hobby. However, in 2009, various opportunities enabled Karissa to become a full-time professional photographer. She has 12 years professional experience of studio portraiture, families, weddings and landscapes. But above all she enjoys real estate and home photography.
Chris has been an accountant, IT Manager and web developer. He has training as a Business Analyst and a mini-MBA with the London School of Economics and is studying for a full MBA with York St. John University, specialising in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. He is currently President of a Canadian software company which he manages from our office in Herault, France.
They have held and managed businesses in England, Canada and France.
Karissa Leonard
Founder and Lead Photographer
In my years behind the camera, I’ve learned to appreciate the smaller details in life that make this world so beautiful. The big events change our routines, but the smaller events change our perspective and, ultimately, shape our destiny. Through the lens, I capture unique architecture, beautiful buildings, charming chateaux and incredible interiors with an aim of turning what the eye sees into pure art. Yet at the same time these places should be inviting and stir the imagination.
I’m under no illusion that I have the privilege of working in a profession seen as fun or a dream job by some. It certainly is for me. I enjoy capturing that room you worked so hard on to stage for your potential guest, someone you’ve not met yet, but you care that they see a desirable place to stay. When you’re selling a house you want to know the potential buyer sees a home, you want to convey some of the happy memories you had there as you pass it on for someone else to do the same. If I can capture a hint of that, it brings me great satisfaction.
Moving into 360° photography feels like a natural progression and an innovative step for me. Having seen so many homes, chambre d’hôtes and businesses has given me perspective of what owners want to showcase. 360° photography is the next evolution in the industry, focusing more on what the client wants to see as well as allowing owners more opportunities to showcase their property in even greater detail.
