I'm Amit Lavee — a corporate and portrait photographer based in Geneva, and the person behind Moonrise Studio.
I work with executives, teams, and organizations across Geneva's international community — WEF, Vacheron Constantin, the Global Fund, WHO, Fyffes, and others — on headshots, events, and brand photography.
But the camera is the easy part. What I actually do is coach you through the fifteen minutes before I press the shutter.
An HR headshot and a CEO headshot aren't the same photograph — they're doing different jobs. Before we shoot, I tell you exactly what we're building: what the photo needs to say, what your posture and chin position are communicating without you realizing it, why a two-inch shift changes how confident you look on screen. It's not a technical exercise, it's coaching. It's why clients consistently tell me it's the best photo anyone has ever taken of them.

Before photography, I trained and worked as a Montessori educator. It's an unusual background for a corporate photographer, but it's exactly where the coaching comes from — reading people quickly, putting them at ease, and helping them show up as themselves instead of performing for a camera. It's also why families trust me in front of a lens the same way executives do.
When I'm not in the studio, I'm usually outside — climbing, hiking, or out with a camera at 2am chasing the stars over the Alps. I don't need a studio to feel like I'm working. I just need good light and something worth pointing a camera at.
If you're preparing for a headshot, a team day, or a corporate event and want it to actually look like you — not like a stock photo of "someone in a suit" — that's what I do.
