Portrait specialist in Cluj-Napoca. Gelu blends artistic experience with analog and digital techniques to create professional portraits ideal for LinkedIn, CVs or business communication.
I’m Gelu Stănculescu, a portrait photographer who treats each session as a work of art. My passion for photography started at eight years old; I have worked professionally since 2009. My training in graphic design (since 2013) and my artistic projects — such as “Culori”, “Stare” and “Eternul feminin” — deeply shape the way I approach portrait photography. Why choose a portrait signed by me in Cluj‑Napoca? Because I don’t just take “a picture”: I build an image that communicates identity. I work carefully with light, texture and color — using both digital techniques and analog film — to create professional portraits that stand out from standard corporate images. My exhibition experience and experiments with projectors, paints and applied materials sometimes yield portraits that resemble paintings, while remaining deeply human and relevant to corporate contexts. How do we work? We start with a clear conversation about the portrait’s purpose: a LinkedIn photo, a CV portrait, a corporate image for your website, or personal communication. In the studio I create a relaxed and professional atmosphere where conversation with the photographed person is essential — this helps achieve naturalness and presence. I combine technical control of lighting with subtle direction to highlight the expression and attitude suited to your role. What you receive: portraits with a clear identity, made with artistic care and adapted to your professional needs. Thanks to my artistic projects and design background, I pay special attention to composition and retouching so the photograph functions both aesthetically and communicatively. If you want a portrait that represents you authentically — whether for LinkedIn, your CV, or business communication — I invite you to my studio in Cluj‑Napoca. My collaboration starts with listening and is built on professionalism, creativity and respect for your image.
