About Richard La Roue
Automotive, Architecture & Lifestyle Photographer in Italy
I am an Italian photographer working across automotive, architecture and lifestyle photography, drawn to vintage aesthetics shaped through a modern lens. My work is guided by structure, proportion and atmosphere.
Whether documenting a historic building, capturing a performance car or developing lifestyle imagery for a watch brand, I focus on coherence before style and identity before effect.
For selected projects, I choose analog photography — not as nostalgia, but as a deliberate creative decision. Based in Alba, Piedmont, I work across Milan, Lake Como and international destinations.
Whether working digitally or on film, my process remains consistent: understand context, define purpose and create images that support brand positioning and visual identity. Film introduces a slower rhythm that encourages attention and presence, often resulting in imagery that feels tactile, honest and distinctive.
Lastra Studio – Alba, Piedmont
Clients and collaborators are welcome to visit the studio to discuss projects, review prints and explore ongoing work. Lastra reflects the same philosophy that guides my photography: structure, material presence and quiet attention to detail.
Philosophy
I believe the most powerful images come from real, spontaneous moments. My job is to be ready for them, and to shape them with intention: light, atmosphere and character.
