Who am I?

I'm Milano, a photographer continuously exploring cinematic portrait photography. Based in The Hague, working wherever the story takes me - An artist to make your creative self come to life.

Why Gentle Frame?

I shoot the way I see — cinematic, quiet, and honest.

I’m not here to place people in front of a lens and call it done.
I’m here to give them space — to exist, to reflect, to move —
so their portrait isn’t just a still frame, but a moment that breathes.

How I work

I collaborate with individuals, artists, and brands who seek more than a standard portrait — those drawn to images that carry atmosphere, emotion, and story.

My approach is rooted in cinematic and creative portraiture, often working with low light, night settings, and carefully shaped shadows to create depth and mood. Whether it’s a quiet studio moment or a story unfolding under city lights, I aim to craft portraits that feel alive — honest, layered, and intentionally composed.

Each session is a collaboration, designed to reflect your essence, not just your appearance.

This is how the process will look like:



Pre-session


After you've explained your vision, we will discuss ahead of time what will happen during the shoot, when the shoot will take place and where.


During the session


After we are both at the location, I will set up my equipment required and we will go over the idea again. I will help you with posing whenever needed.


Post-session


I will show you the images and let you select a certain amount depending on what is agreed upon to go to post processing.


Post-processing


The selected images will be enhanced, edited and delivered as soon as possible
