Ampersand Grey Photography

I’m Michel — a storyteller, connection seeker and Edmonton‑based portrait specialist. At Ampersand Grey I focus deeply on portrait photography and business portraits, creating images that don’t just look good, but actually tell the story of who you are and why you do what you do. Why choose Ampersand Grey for your portrait or professional headshot? My approach is boundary‑breaking and energized; I come from a background in creative direction and commercial work, so every portrait is crafted with both visual impact and practical use in mind. Whether you need a LinkedIn photo that feels like you on your best day, fresh headshots for a company page, or a portrait that anchors your brand, I aim to produce portraits that sing with personality and purpose. My sessions are intentionally human. I don’t rely on stiff posing — I work in motion, bringing out small, real moments where people look and feel like themselves. I’ll guide you with gentle, sometimes funny prompts to help you relax; often the best portraits happen when we stop trying too hard and start moving through real interactions. That relaxed energy translates into professional headshots and business portraits that feel authentic and confident. Studio or on location — your choice. I love the versatility of a bright, natural‑light loft studio for clean, modern business portraits, and I also enjoy integrating your workspace or neighbourhood into the images when you want a more contextual, documentary feel. Because I think about how photos will be used, I compose shots that work across websites, social media, press, and marketing materials. I bring years of commercial and editorial experience to each portrait session, paying attention to light, texture and the small gestures that make an image resonate. My goal is to give you a curated set of professional portraits you’ll actually want to use — images that elevate your brand and help you connect with the people who matter. If you’re in Edmonton (GB) and looking for portrait photography or professional headshots that feel less generic and more distinctly you, let’s chat. I’ll listen to your story, help shape the session, and together we’ll create portraits with heart, clarity and a bit of magic.
