The Photographer

Hello, I'm Aurelia

I'm a fine-art and editorial photographer based in New York, working with couples, families, and brands who want images that feel less like documentation and more like memory.

My approach blends documentary honesty with painterly light — quiet, unposed, and unmistakably warm.

"I don't just take photographs. I preserve the light exactly as it fell that day."

About Me

The Story Behind the Lens

Ten years, three continents, and one steady belief — that real moments are more beautiful than staged ones.

Portrait of Aurelia Rousseau
Professional Biography

Photography, for me, has always been about attention.

I picked up my first camera while studying fine arts in Florence, drawn less to technical perfection than to the quiet, in-between moments most people never notice — a hand finding another, light catching dust in a doorway.

After years assisting wedding and editorial photographers across Europe, I opened my first studio in Brooklyn in 2018. Since then I've photographed over five hundred couples and families, shot campaigns for independent fashion houses, and built a practice around one simple idea: the best photographs happen when people forget they're being photographed.

Today I split my time between a studio in New York and an atelier in Paris, taking on a limited number of weddings, portrait sessions, and editorial projects each year.
