Virginie Khateeb is a widely published queer French-Arab photographer and director based between Paris and London. Known for her emotionally charged close-ups and soulful portraits, her work explores intimacy, identity, and the unseen narratives that live just beneath the surface. 

Her images are tender and cinematic, balancing softness with power, romanticism with raw truth. With painterly tones, sharp contrasts, and a deep sensitivity to her subjects, Virginie creates photographs that feel both timeless and alive.

Often sought after for her ability to capture unguarded, emotionally rich moments, she brings a rare depth to fashion, portraiture, and entertainment photography.

Her visual language is steeped in feeling, each frame offering a quiet, visceral intimacy that lingers, a window into the quiet power of vulnerability.

Her clients include Netflix, Vogue, The Telegraph, Esquire, Net-A-Porter, and the Wall Street Journal. She has photographed icons such as Viola Davis, Monica Bellucci, Mélanie Laurent, Catherine Deneuve and Adèle Exarchopoulos.
