Reviews of Nuovo Artistic Photography Ottawa (Photo Studio)

Ali Heuchan

Guy is tremendous I felt like a model in his care!

Maria Fakhouri

This was a wonderful experience!! It was a very welcoming and very respectful and once in a life time experience.

Arielle Blaedow

This was my first time experiencing something like this, and I'd have to say it was a wonderful choice. I was very comfortable the whole time and everything is really straight forward and easy. It really is just a wonderful experience all around.

Jennifer Hills

Was very professional. Made me feel relaxed

Anna Doxey

Yes the pictures were beautiful. But the edit and the cost weren't. I didnt get any prints. I had to go to a different photographer to get the photos edited properly to get rid of the appearance of me sitting in a grey box. And this photographer didn't blame it on my PC. He saw the error in the edit and fixed all my photos. He fixed the lines and splotches. I do not recommend this place.

Christina XINA Lamothe

So one fine day I decided to "do this"! A somewhat scary adventure; and adventure it was. I was really surprised at all aspects of the process. Kind sensitive women worked with me and I got amazing results - beyond my expectations ♥ Thanks a mil Nuovo Artistic Photography Ottawa ♥ I am glad you were a part of my adventure!

Kinsey Church

I couldn't believe how good the pictures turned out. Merci beaucoup Guy!

Lolo Lo

Loved the experience, picture quality was on point and the photographer is a true professional! I highly recommend this studio.

Lauren Fradet

Absolutely loved my photoshoot. The women are so kind and friendly and the pictures are outstanding. 10000/10. I honestly cried looking at the photos because I felt good about my body for the first time in a very long time. I think everyone should do a shoot like this. I promise they'll make you love yourself

Mariette Dewit

Well....it was an experience I'll never forget! Gosh...every one is so nice! While during the shoot I thought "I hope they turn out... At the end I couldn't choose! Yes the packages are expensive but it's a one time event and I loved every minute of it!

(Translated) Disappointed with their fake promotion that sends you a full-pixel mini photo for $ 150. Duration of 3 hours on the spot. Plan your parking meters in Montreal (Original) Déçu de leur fausse promotion qui vous transmet un mini photo full pixels pour 150$. Duré de 3h sur place. Planifier votre parcomètres à Montréal

Dave McGruer

It seems I originally posted a 2 star, now updated to 4 star. My wife and I had a large acrylic photo made to hang over our bed and we love it. Sure, spend some money but there is nothing like it.

Josh McLaughlin

Great place. Very good work

Claudie Forget-Rocheleau

Just had a photo shoot with Kiahna and it was such a great experience! She is an amazing person. I would highly recommend her!

Véronique Lebreux

(Translated) Really disappointed with the experience in Montreal. The shoot was professional, on the other hand, they are real salespeople, they do everything to sell you your photos at big price $ 150 each or with packages. After giving a deposit, I try to call them to have my photos and pay the rest. The person answers in English, says that someone French-speaking will call me back. No return call made. The next day, I call back, the person tells me that it is not him who takes care of this. Gives me the supposedly correct number .. I call, no one answers .. No return calls made. Really stupid .. I lost my deposit as well as the photos ... Do not go .. You will waste your time and your money (Original) Vraiment déçue de l'expérience à Montréal. Le shooting était professionnel, par contre, ce sont de véritables vendeurs, ils font tout pour te vendre tes photos à gros prix 150$ chaque ou avec forfaits. Après avoir donné un dépôt, j'essaie de les appeler pour avoir mes photos et payé le reste. La personne répond en anglais, dit que quelqu'un de francophone va me rappeler. Aucun retour d'appel fait. Le lendemain, je rappelle, la personne me dit que ce n'est pas lui qui s'occupe de ça. Me donne le supposément bon numéro.. J'appelle, personne ne répond.. Aucun retour d'appel fait. Vraiment du niaisage.. J'ai perdu mon dépôt ainsi que les photos... N'y allez pas.. Vous allez perdre votre temps et votre argent

Jasmine Gautier

I went for my first photoshoot the day of my birthday and I was honestly nervous because I'm very self conscious about my body and the staff made me feel so safe and I wasn't nervous at all once everything started, honestly I would do it again in a heart beat,I loved the experience and I keep telling everyone about it , can't wait to see my album and the pictures

Philippe Laurin

(Translated) Excellent studio, very professional and courteous photographer, offers a lot of photo shooting choices, warm place. (Original) Excellent studio, photographe très professionnel et courtois, offre beaucoup de choix de prise de photos, endroit chaleureux.

Alexia-Rose Gregoire

Guy is an amazing photographer, the place is super clean, the photos turn out fantastic, pricey, but considering it's a once in a lifetime thing its wonderful. And his stainless steel pieces are to die for????

Camille Fournier

(Translated) Comparing the story of a friend who did a shoot with this company, and me who did shooting with nu2 concept ... I advise you to go with nu2 concept. Even catches & exorbitant prices too, but better service. (Original) En comparant l'histoire d'une amie qui a fait un shooting avec cette compagnie,et moi qui a fait shooting avec nu2 concept... je vous conseil d'aller avec nu2 concept. Même attrape-concours & prix exorbitant aussi,mais meilleur service.

I won a gift card for a free photoshoot with Nuovo Artistic Photography, and I am SO glad I did! I had such an amazing experience! I was nervous at first about being alone nude with a male photographer, but the owner/photographer, Guy Raymond, was so professional and patient, and I'm glad I didn't let my nerves get the best of me! I was a little bit late, but luckily it wasn't an issue at all. Guy took the time to introduce himself to me, tell me about his studios and work, and then prepared the studio and had me come down. He let me take all the time I needed to prepare, and provides a little red slip to cover yourself with at first, that is then used to prevent any unwanted exposure in the photos. I was incredibly nervous at first, but Guy was so professional and supportive that by the third or fourth picture, I forgot that I was feeling uncomfortable at all and starting to really enjoy the shoot. I appreciated that he asked me to pose and adjust as needed, and that the only time he ever used his hands was to adjust the fabric, and to adjust my lower legs by moving my ankles, never touching any other part of my body. After the shoot, we went upstairs to view the photos and choose which ones I wanted to keep. We compared them in pairs until we found all my favourites, and then he let me look at all of them and decide which ones I wanted to purchase. He let me take all the time I needed, and I didn't feel rushed or pressured in any way. He explained that after editing and sending the photos, he would delete all the files for my privacy. Seeing the photos was amazing. I've been working on self acceptance for the past few years now, but nothing has been as incredible and confidence boosting as this. The process of going through the photoshoot made me feel like a model, and I was blown away by how I looked in the photos. It was an eye opening reminder that I really do deserve to love myself and my body, and that I should feel confident and beautiful every day! Overall, I had an absolutely wonderful experience, and would definitely recommend it to anybody who's interested in an artistic nude photoshoot for any reason. I felt so comfortable during the entire process, and it felt so incredibly empowering to do the photoshoot. His print options are gorgeous if you're interested in buying a physical version of your photos, and he has payment plans available if you need help paying for anything. I would definitely go back, and I definitely recommend it!

Jaz Bovey

Most incredible experience of my life. Worth every penny ???????????????? It was so empowering and I felt incredibly sexy and confident. I'm pretty curvy and insecure about that but he did and incredible job and making me feel safe and comfortable while not ever going to a creepy level. Very professional

Andrea Reade

I had the most lovely experience at Nuovo, Ottawa location. The photographer, makeup artist made me feel so welcome and so comfortable. I felt so beautiful, empowered and enlightened the moment I walked in the door to the moment I left. I will never forget my experience there and hope to get another shoot done in Toronto in the white studio location. I highly recommend them, I would do it all over again!

Bonnie Laidlaw

Great experience working with them. Very friendly and welcoming. Makes you feel comfortable. They tell you what to do, so you don't have to think about it or feel shy. Photos turned out amazing. It was my first professional shoot and I am very happy with it and would highly recommend it to someone else.

Kevin Cheng

Newly renovated. Very friendly and professional staff. They also have studios in Toronto and Montreal. Toronto and Ottawa use black backgrounds, Montreal uses a white background. Photos are quite expensive.

Jasmine C.

The Nuovo Artistic Photography team is very kind, helpful and responds quickly, they truly offered a great customer service, as well as a great photoshoot experience. The pictures came out absolutely wonderful and gracious, they really put effort to make sure their customers are satisfied. Truly a great artistic photography studio! Definitively recommend!

Méliane PB

I had the honor to work with the owner!! He was extremely professional, yet friendly. He did outstanding work and made me look like an angel and simply blown away my the results. An empowering and healing experience. Strongly recommended!

Roxy Vee

Cool!

Violet Aubrey

This is an amazing experience! The staff are incredibly sweet, and very helpful. It was incredible to feel so comfortable and sexy. They really have the best poses to make anyone look as good as you'll feel ????

Anastasiya Nikulina

I really loved the experience and I recommend it to anyone who wants to feel like a Goddess!! Thank you Guy!!

Heather Playford

Honestly, I wouldn’t go back. I won a $400 gift certificate at the women’s show from a woman whom I thought was the photographer. When I booked the appointment I also spoke to a woman. When I arrived for my appointment I waited for 20 minutes while Man argued with someone on the phone. He came downstairs and told me he was the photographer. This was unsettling as it was a surprise. I was really looking forward to this photo shoot as I used to dance and wanted to get creative with the poses. That was not this man’s plan. He bossed me around into the basic poses, and didn’t even ask what I was interested in doing. The shoot was only 10 minutes. I literally spend longer on my hair. Then he then pretty much bullied me into buying photos. The one that came with the gift certificate package would only print at 4x6. Unfortunately, you have to make the decision right there. You can’t take a moment to decide if you want these pictures or not. $400 later, I bought a 3 image package. I felt exploited and that I had wasted money. I don’t even really like the pictures.

Suzanne Tewnion

I had a phone interview scheduled with this company on Monday afternoon (March 29th). As of March 31st I have not heard from them. I emailed them, responded to our Indeed conversation (where the interview was originally arranged) and still nothing. I would NOT risk spending $400+ on this studio when they cannot even communicate with potential employees. EDIT: If you read their reply below, they are not able to even take the time to read their reviews properly.

Cédric Leblanc

(Translated) We went there after receiving a gift card, it was a very nice experience. We did a couple photoshoot. The photographer really knows what he is doing and remains very professional. The photos are very beautiful and sophisticated, they would be easily displayed at home even in the sight of your friends. Expect to pay $ 1000-2000 for photoshoot and photos printed on Canvas or steel. Photoshoot $ 250, digital photos starting at $ 150. (Original) Nous y sommes allé après avoir reçu une carte cadeau, c'était une très belle expérience. Nous avons fait un photoshoot en couple. Le photographe sait vraiment de qu'il fait et reste très professionnel. Les photos sont très belles et sophistiqué, elles seraient facilement affichables chez soi même à la vue de vos amis. Attendez-vous à payer 1000-2000$ pour photoshoot et photos imprimées sur Canvas ou acier. Photoshoot 250$, photos numériques à partir de 150$.

Denise Prue

I have to say this was a life changing experience. I was so nervous going in and afraid to show myself. Guy made me feel very comfortable and within seconds I had confidence in myself that has been missing for many years. When I got to see the pictures I was overwhelmed with all kinds of emotions. They were so beautiful and the woman in them looked so confident and sure of herself (without ego or arrogance). I could not believe it was me. I have gained so much respect and love for myself through this experience. I feel every woman or man that has doubts about themselves needs to experience this!! I cant wait to receive the pictures and proudly show them to all the people who are near and dear to me :)

Karine C

Fabulous service, they truly go above and beyond to make sure every client feels special and receives professional service. They made me feel so confident and at ease even if I'm usually really awkward in front of a camera !

Emily Dylan

They are predatory scammers who manipulate you into signing contracts under false pretenses. They will tell you they are providing a free giveaway service for cancer season, and then intimidate with legal threats. Do not get involved with this company unless you want to get scammed and taken advantage of.

Adrianna Cote

Ok - This is a really fun experience. The only issues I ran into were that they were super behind schedule today, and had way too many people booked in which meant my photo session felt rushed. I loved most of the pictures though, and had a hard time choosing my favourites - I do recommend them, just don't go on a weekend if you can avoid it, unless you have time to spare!

Dany Larochelle

Now we wait for the photos to come in...???? We recieved a special promo at Ottawa Pride festivities since the Ottawa location is newly opened. We did not feel any pressure in buying.

Véronique Tremblay

(Translated) I loved my experience! The people are welcoming, warm and professional. The photographer is so kind and energetic, she knows how to put us in confidence quickly and what to say about the photos !!! Honestly, these are gorgeous photos and a great gift to give yourself as a woman. I will come back for sure !!! (Original) J'ai adoré mon expérience! Les gens y sont accueillants, chaleureux et professionnels. La photographe est tellement gentille et énergétique, elle sait nous mettre en confiance rapidement et que dire des photos!!! Sincèrement, ce sont des photos magnifiques et c'est un beau cadeau à s'offrir en tant que femme. Je vais y revenir pour sûr!!!

Kristen Scharf

A really wonderful experience. As soon as I called Nuovo photography to set up my photo shoot, I was met by a kind and professional voice on the phone. The photographer has been nominated several times by "The New York Times". I'll admit, I was quite nervous! But, the photographer Guy Raymond was so professional, I immediately felt comfortable and safe. I was truly able to let go, relax, and let my inner vulnerability show. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wishes to get back in touch with themselves, and meet a great: Management, Customer Care and Photography team.

Desiree B

This was one of the most fun and exciting photo shoot my partner and I have done. We both went in quite nervous however the atmosphere was super professional and well put together. We have yet to pick up our investment, if you are looking for a sexy yet elegant piece of art I highly recommend this team.

Cynthia Lamarre-Berniquez

At first I was a bit skeptical about getting photographed semi nude but then I told myself why not. I must say it was a great experience. The staff, the studio, and mostly the photographer really made me feel comfortable. The pictures are beautiful and really artistic which makes this company different then most. So happy i got to experience this once in my life.

Anne-Julie Lafrenaye

What a wonderful moment!!!

Rochelle Kinnee

The level of mental and emotional confidence and comfort they provide makes for a wonderful experience

Suzanne Hendricks

From the moment you walk in until you leave it is complete comfort and professionalism. The makeup artist is vibrant and a fabulous way to start the day... the photographer was amazing... professional and made you feel completely relaxed...100^ recommend!

Stacey Eisenberg

Warm and comfortable atmosphere! The pictures were tasteful and professionally done! You will have trouble choosing pictures!

Getfitphysio Physio

I felt a little nervous but Guy was willing to chat a little bit before the session, which helped me relax (as well as the glass of wine). He was professional and respectful. Photos were beautiful! Location was clean.

Audrey Pomerleau

Excellent experience

Julie Mérineau

(Translated) It’s an amazing experience. You have to do this at least once in your life. And what about photographer Lindsay… Wow, exceptional. She made my experience memorable. Thank you Lindsay for your ardor, your passion and your tallness. Julie (Original) C’est une expérience extraordinaire. On doit faire ceci au moins une fois dans sa vie. Et que dire de la photographe Lindsay…Wow, exceptionnelle. Elle a rendu mon expérience mémorable. Merci Lindsay pour ta fougue, ta passion et ton tallent. Julie

Simon Robillard

Super experience ! The staff was super friendly and professional, they welcomed me inside their beautiful studio and offered me a glass of vine that permitted me to relax and enjoy my session. The ambiance was really glamorous and stylish, really putting Nuovo amongst the most prestigious place I've visited. They give you all the time to prepare and the photographer was just so kind and open. She managed to get me out of my comfort zone effortlessly and the results were just amazing. The photograph in charge of the editing is said to be recognized internationally for his work and GOSH does he deliver ! The edits just look absolutely dazzling for my big frame ! I wasn't really sure at first but now I can definitely say this was a much needed experience in my life and I recommend it to anyone ! Chances are you'll see yourself in a different light and gain more self-confidence.
