Christel Oeini auto-portrait

Hey, it’s Christel.

This is more than a portfolio, it’s a place where feeling becomes frame, and story meets soul. The lens I live by.

What started as curiosity quickly became a way of seeing, of feeling. And over the years, that lens turned into a language. One I’ve spoken for over 12 years now.

Photography isn’t just what I do. It’s how I connect.

From raw, spontaneous portraits that hold untamed emotion, to black and white frames that speak louder than words, my work has always been drawn to truth.

I’ve learned that the real magic lives in the in-between, in the moments that go unposed, unnoticed, and unscripted. That’s where stories unfold, one shot, one action, one click at a time.

This path was never about following trends or chasing applause. It was about freeing connections. About people. About listening with the eyes and seeing with the heart. Whether the shoot was for a brand, a known face or quiet souls, each frame is a chance to witness something real.

You don’t need to follow the path. Sometimes, you’re here to explore your own.

We were made to feel. To create. To leave a trace.
