When photography started to be an important part in my life, I had the chance to become friend with a photographer who created a school for photojournalists in the 80’s. I still remember all the precious advices I learned from him, in particular one universal enough to be useful everyday: taking always both landscape and […]
Morning Winter light
The hotel was a few hundred meters from my destination, so I decided to walk. It was a windy day, clouds were approaching quickly. Car park was just behind me when a ray of light changed the whole landscape. I had time to take only two pictures before the sun was gone… This working day […]
Slow Waves
First post after a long period with so little time, as an attempt to calm the pace … Fluid wave movements become cotton lines, a white yacht catches a ray of light. I feel my mind working like the shutter, slowly…and I enjoy it.
Self -ie or -portrait ?
Yesterday, to experiment a simple light setup (one large but directional light on top of the subject), I had no other model to play with, but myself. Looking at results, I wondered… Are these images selfies or self-portraits ? What a fundamental question: which difference between self-portrait and selfie ! According to the significant number of pages […]
White Dusk
It was just about cold and silence…
Unexpected white
For many people, snow is quite common during winter. For some, it’s rare enough to become the main topic of conversation when it happens, and a few centimeters of snow can even block all human activities (so that our Canadian friends can laugh about us !). It’s what happened two days ago on the French […]
Nearby…
Most of the time, I tend to consider differently images that I’m taking to keep a trace of something personal (family events, friends, kids), the ones that are just for the love of carrying kilos on my shoulder (walks, week-end or everyday’s life) and the ones I’m taking on purpose (portraits, still life, landscapes..). I […]
5mn to kill
Arrived a few minutes too early to my rendez-vous, I walked along the old remparts of Antibes. As always, I had a camera with me, this time only with a 35mm. I didn’t expected to see waves as there was no wind… Camera on the stones, 64iso to get a long exposure, -2/3ev to keep […]
The square, the ramp and the tower.
This weekend I have seen my oldest friend who used to work in cinema and has facilitated writing workshops. His latest project was to select images from a friend photographer (according to a certain theme), and to write corresponding text as if the whole exhibition was the storyboard of an unknown movie. I’m wondering what […]
