wood and steel

like this you got Marie and Daria Together...

in the yellow studio

    For my wife's birthday I offered her to do a photoshoot at the studio with her best friends. She was very motivated, but she wanted something cheerful and colorful.

    So I took my most flashy photo background, and offered them to pick from my styling what amused them the mos...

thinking of Nicolas

Today post a bit special.

Maybe you have heard of it. the great photographer "Nicolas Guerin" died this weekend.

        At the time it was he who introduced me to Daria. the incredible Russian model (white skin like an albino) seen in these photos.

I had just met him ...

the softness of concrete

I thought I had already posted these images, but one of you pointed out that I didn't.

     So, this is the 2nd shoot I've done with Marie. You can see the first test a bit before.

     This session only lasted 2

hours, without make-up, without hai...

first test with adele

  A test with a model from the Mademoiselle agency.

      It's a bit old, I see it during the treatment (I think I identify the periods of my shootings in relation to the evolution of my treatment)

       a very pleasant moment of stroll ar...

lying on my black fake fur

 A little exercise that I like to end a first session (here with Yoana) is working on the floor.

     As in addition I acquired a large piece of fairly thick faux fur, it facilitates lascivious poses.

              ...

first visit for Yoana

   Yoana is not a model, but an actress. Very large, with shapes. Not necessarily the kind of model I'm used to.

She had contacted me for her book. And I asked her how she felt about the nude. She had hardly ever done any, but she was ok with doing at least topless.

   &nbs...

the moving trio

   I had the chance to see three friends arrive, who wanted to have fun in front of the camera while giving me complete freedom of creativity.

    A great moment of fun, which I ended with an attempt to shoot in continuous light and slow shutter speed.

    &nb...

winter was coming

   Small series made with Anglika (with whom we have collaborated several times in nude) just before winter. She wanted something a little more fashionable. So we worked with my Mua team and hairdresser.

       This is where I realize how much I prefer to work naturally ...

a red fetishist on my green sofa

A model who had contacted me several times to work together.

    At that time, I didn't really know what to offer. Luckily a stylist from Berlin had sent me her latest collection of fetish objects. So we played with it.

         Here a set...

Behind the black curtains

It's been 3 years since I discovered Marie, who came from the east of France to shoot with me.

      I knew from the first shoot that she had potential. but I'm still impressed to see the evolution. She has become a real pro in the poses. Besides, she has won a contract with a great agency,...

my long wool sweater

Here is the last post of this series with Yolaine. Which is actually the start of the session.

      There's nothing like this long sweater and wide pants to start a session and warm up.

    As you can see, I also take advantage of this part to do treatment trials....

inside out with Mary

Another great meeting that led to several other collaborations.

    Marie had asked me to pose because she was passing through Paris. It was his very beginning. So we started with a few simple images for his outdoor portfolio. But as it was cold, we quickly returned.

on the raileway with Marie

An agency test session, with the beautiful Marie, who is a bit dated.

I had used a make-up artist, which was a mistake, because Marie is much more beautiful in her natural state, as I was going to discover in the next session that we were going to do together (which appeared in Lions magazine), ...

the christmas sweater

when I find a good accessory, I tend to abuse it...

    I had already done a magazine cover with this one. It is perfect for a black and white rendering, with its pretty balls like on a Christmas tree.

And models love it. So why deprive yourself of it

Merry christmas

the dark leather dress

    As I told you, here is the first part of the images with the beautiful Yolaine, who came to visit me last week.

       for the first aprtie she chose my dark leather dress, with snap button. The latter did not hold up very well once again.

  &nbs...

in a parisian cafe...

I don't remember if I posted the whole series to you.

    I came across this little souvenir last night. I had spotted this café in the center of Paris with 3 floors and a glass roof. During the day, the 3rd floor was deserted and the servers did not go up there.

 ...

at home with claire

   I was hesitant enough to publish this series. She is a little dated.

    but it was an interesting essay that guided me on other paths.

     In general, I shoot in my studio, or around; I like to be in comfort, and to know the place before.

 ...

visite of Yolaine in my studio

  you may have already seen Yolaine in the book "Free at last". It appears in 3 pages.

      Since then she left her Parisian agency and travels around the world. She is quite right.

  Passing through Paris, she came to visit me to pick up her book. We took the opp...

on my table

We continue in the session with Marie.

      As I am currently working on the preparation for the January workshops, I am using simple techniques here, to focus on the direction of the model, and the idea of finding quick set-ups to optimize the session.

     ...

in the abandoned wagon

   I just realized that I had posted images of the session with Vic in the series of the boys, but not the 2 most beautiful and most sensual (finally for my appreciation).

        As surprising as it may seem, they were made in a freight car lying on one of the trac...

marie Loves 70's

    As you may have discovered in the previous post, Marie B came to visit me between 2 castings. So we took the opportunity to improvise a little session.

    For the first part, as she had arrived with wide jeans like 70's, I told her to keep them, and I put her shirtless with c...

little test with maelis

Another one of those little agency tests.

Maelis had just arrived. gorgeous. But I only had 20 minutes, because she chained the castings.

We were supposed to reshoot together, but the next week she signed a big contract and was flying to LA.

Today she has a string of big jobs and campaigns. Unfortunately, I ...

guess who?

     I am sometimes very lucky, as a photographer, to have discovered certain models, before they became too much in demand.

        Among them, I have this privilege, whereas they no longer collaborate, because they do not s...

test with Mariana

   One of the tests from last year, with a model from the Marylin agency.

      Note that, on this test, the agency had liked the images, but not the styling. too complex for them.

      Today agencies are looking for more natural tests. Wi...

Rebecca in my Locker room

  For those who have the book "the last fight", you must have already seen 2 of these images. but you will find that they are cropped.

So here are the original 4 versions.

Namely, therefore, that most of the time for this series, there was a long set-up for very few sessions. And I only kept 4 or 5 image...

wild blond

The last part of the shoot with Cecile.

      It is always interesting, during the session, to find the outfit that will make the model feel sensual and free. And in cases where the model does not want to do nudes, the transparent bodysuit is always a good compromise. And often even sexier ...

workshop with Laure the 05/02/2023

     The workshop with Ness having filled up too quickly, I decided to create a 2nd date with one of my favorite models "Laure Surlerivage":

simple white wall

I like more and more to come back to this basic exercise which is the white background. Often with the most sober styling. Here, boots, coat, panties.

      It's both technically simple (but you have to master it), and complicated to make an image that isn't boring.
