Ionuț Tepele

I am Ionuț Tepele, a portrait photographer based in Cluj‑Napoca, and I work with people who want more than a simple photo. My specialty is painterly fine‑art portraiture: I build images like small paintings — using sculpting light, careful composition and an aesthetic inspired by the baroque. Whether you need a personal portrait, a professional headshot for your website, or a corporate photo for your LinkedIn/CV profile, my aim is the same: to capture your essence, not just your appearance. Why choose a portrait made here? My approach blends technical rigor with artistic sensitivity. I shoot in studio (RIM Light Studio) or at carefully selected locations, using light and shadow as sculptural tools to emphasize features, attitude and presence. The result is a portrait that feels timeless — a collectible image worth printing, framing and keeping as part of your story. How I work with you: we begin with an honest conversation about who you are and how you want to be perceived. We define the style — fine‑art, business‑chic or a custom direction — and prepare the session (wardrobe, lighting, setting). On the day of the shoot, I provide calm, precise guidance: I direct posture, gestures and expression so you feel natural and in control. After the session, I meticulously edit the images to preserve the painterly tone and the authenticity of expression. Professional portraiture is my primary field, and business services (LinkedIn headshots, CV photos, corporate imagery) are a natural extension of this expertise — delivered with the same attention to detail and communicative intent. If you are a professional, entrepreneur or team representative, I help you obtain images that convey trust and clarity. I work from Cluj‑Napoca but travel wherever needed for special projects. If you want a portrait that will speak about you years from now, let’s talk — your portrait can become a true piece of art, not just a photograph.
