ESSENCE-LENS 
,founded by Placide Igirubintu, is more than a photography brand — it’s a vision shaped by passion, creativity, and a deep love for storytelling through images.
Placide’s journey began with a simple curiosity: how a single photograph can freeze time and hold emotions that words often fail to express. Over the years, that curiosity evolved into a craft — capturing the beauty of human connection, the joy of life’s milestones, and the quiet magic found in everyday moments.
At Essence Lens, we believe photography isn’t just about taking pictures. It’s about understanding people, noticing the details that make each story unique, and transforming them into timeless art. Placide’s signature style blends authenticity with artistry, ensuring every image feels alive, meaningful, and true to its essence.
Whether it’s a portrait, a celebration, or a fleeting moment of beauty, Essence Lens is here to capture it — not just as it looks, but as it feels.
