Velvet d'Amour is an acclaimed photographer in Paris, France, with over three decades of residency in the City of Light. Dedicated to redefining beauty through inclusive and empowering photography, she celebrates the unique essence of every individual—regardless of size, age, ethnicity, or ability.

Her luxurious boudoir shoots in Paris blend artistic depth with profound empowerment, transforming intimate moments into timeless treasures.

Drawing from her groundbreaking career as a plus-size model, Velvet shattered norms on runways for haute couture icons like Jean-Paul Gaultier and John Galliano. She has graced campaigns by legendary photographers including Nick Knight for French Vogue, Ellen von Unwerth, Gérard Rancinan, and Stefan Rappo. Beyond modeling, she performed as a contemporary dancer with French choreographers Lionel Hoche's MÊME BANJO—touring France and culminating at the prestigious Théâtre National de Chaillot—and Cyril Davy's C YOSHI M. She has also acted in films such as the surreal French feature Avida (premiered at Cannes and Tribeca Film Festivals), playing the title role, and Luc Besson's Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Additionally, Velvet appeared on the French reality TV show La Ferme Célébrités, spending nine of ten weeks in the South African bush, making $72,000 for her chosen charity (which helped missing and abused children) before being voted out.
