About Me

Hi, I’m Francois—founder of Laser Media, and a photographer with a serious obsession for capturing spaces properly.

The journey started in a way you might not expect. I grew up watching my mom hustle as a real estate agent. One day I looked at their listings online and saw rooms cut in half, walls leaning like the Tower of Pisa, and lighting that made places look more like interrogation rooms than dream homes. I knew I could do better—even though, at that point, I had never photographed a house in my life.

What I did have was years of camera experience from filming skateboarding videos and a stubborn streak that wasn’t about to let me fail. So I offered to shoot one of their listings. With just a few days to prep, I went all in—took a crash course in architecture photography, invested in proper gear, and spent way too many hours in Photoshop figuring out how to make every image feel right. When I handed over those first photos, they were blown away. I was hooked.

That first gig led to more, and soon enough, I wasn’t just the “skateboard kid with a camera” anymore—I was getting called up by other agencies, developers, and business owners who wanted that same level of quality and care.

Since then, I’ve refined my craft through hundreds of shoots, invested in top-tier equipment, and developed editing techniques that highlight the best features of any space without overcooking it. I’ve worked with a wide range of clients—from high-end real estate agencies and developers to boutique B&Bs and commercial builders—always with the same goal: make the property look like somewhere people actually want to be.

If you’re looking for someone who shows up prepared, sweats the details, and won’t stop until every line is straight and every image tells a story, I’m your guy. Every photo I deliver is edited by me—no outsourcing, no shortcuts—because I care too much about the end result to hand it off.

This business started with family, but it’s grown because of trust. My job is to make your space look amazing—and I take that seriously.
