François Boulaire is a fashion, lifestyle, and portrait photographer based in Sonoma, California, working throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and beyond.

Over the years, François has built a career spanning commercial, lifestyle, editorial, and portrait photography, bringing both a photographer's eye and a producer's perspective to every assignment.
Today, based in the heart of Sonoma County, François works with brands, businesses, publications, and individuals to create compelling imagery for advertising, marketing, editorial, corporate, and personal projects.
Fine Art Prints
Throughout my career as a photographer and producer, I have had the opportunity to work in remarkable locations across California, the United States, and abroad. While on assignment, scouting locations, or traveling between projects, I often find myself drawn to quiet moments that exist beyond the purpose of the job itself.These photographs are a collection of those moments—personal observations of light, landscape, architecture, and atmosphere. Free from commercial objectives, they reflect my appreciation for simplicity, mood, and the unique character of a place.Many of these images were created while preparing or producing commercial projects, capturing scenes that might otherwise have gone unnoticed. Together, they form a visual diary of places encountered throughout a lifetime spent working behind the camera.All photographs are available as archival fine art prints.For purchase inquiries, availability, or shipping information, please contact François directly.
