ARDOISE™ is the culmination of two decades of passion, precision, and artistry. What began with a love for performance machines has evolved into a refined craft: transforming assets into enduring works of legacy, trusted by private collectors and world-class brands alike.
Our Story
An idea born 20 years ago from a passion for cars and an uncompromising pursuit of artistry, ARDOISE™ is the creation of Spectral Lens™, a multidisciplinary studio founded on the belief that legacy deserves to be immortalised. What began as an obsession with automotive photography has evolved into a refined luxury product, now entrusted by private collectors, manufacturers, and global brands to preserve their most treasured assets.
A Word From Our Founder
“When I first picked up a camera, I didn’t realise it would lead to ARDOISE™. For me, cars and design were never just about speed or beauty; they were about legacy. Today, ARDOISE™ is the expression of that vision: to preserve the story of what we create, own, and cherish — forever.”
