SCHAËL MARCÉUS is an award winning Montreal and Toronto‑based photographer and director known for his organic minimalism and emotionally charged portraiture. His work blends sculptural light, meticulous composition, and a quiet intensity to create images that feel both refined and deeply resonant. Moving gracefully between beauty, fashion, and documentary, he brings a consistent eye for character, storytelling, and visual polish.
Drawing on his Haitian heritage and training in cinema, Marcéus weaves intimate storytelling with a commitment to diverse casting, celebrating the empowerment of marginalized communities. As both image-maker and model, he brings a rare dual perspective on collaboration and representation, with a clear authorship guiding every shoot.
His past collaborations include SSENSE, Silk Laundry, and Annabelle, with features in ELLE Canada, S/ Magazine, and British Vogue. In 2024, he was named Photographer of the Year at the Black Fashion & Beauty Gala, following past recognition from CAFA’s NewGen List and the Robert Giart Grant.
Marcéus continues to explore narratives of identity, beauty, and empowerment through his commissioned work and creative collaborations.
