About Cesare House.

An independent photography studio making limited-edition art books about real bodies and real relationships.

Our story

Photographs made to last.

Cesare House is an independent photography studio founded in London in 2016. We make limited-edition fine art books with a body-positive outlook. We shoot in eight countries (the UK, USA, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Australia) and only work with real people, never professional models. Every shoot is paid: £120 per person for Riding Solo and £120 per couple for Sunday Morning.

We ask people to take their clothes off in front of a camera. To do that safely, we use an intimacy coordination system. It's a set process that keeps every participant safe and in control of what happens.

Being photographed nude should never feel exploitative. We work hard to make sure it doesn't.

Behind the scenes at Cesare House
Our philosophy

Four principles.

  • 01

    Real people, not models

    We don't work with professional models. We work with people who want to be part of a book like this. Whatever your story, we'd like to hear it and photograph it.

  • 02

    Safety as foundation

    Our intimacy coordination system comes first, and everything else is built on it. You're trusting us with a lot, and you should expect to be supported and kept safe.

  • 03

    Print as medium

    Intimate work belongs in print. A book is something you hold and choose to share, and there are only so many copies. The photos in our books are never posted online. Every photo on this site is an outtake our models gave us permission to share.

  • 04

    Collaboration over direction

    The people we photograph shape each shoot as much as we do. We talk it through as we go.
