la femme piege ( 2nd part )

  As I told you yesterday, here is the second session of this series for which I created the setting for an editorial

This time with this surprising character that is Anh Wise. Which fitted the mood perfectly.

One regret, the 2 models were not available on the same dates. So I was never able to make the duet.

         &nbs...

the dead woman

     Title of course, taken from Jim Jarmush's film that this session made me think of.

It was a test made with Anh Wise that I had just met. Amazing character that I intended for the futuristic editorial that I had in mind.

La femme piege ( 1 ere partie )

  As I showed you the images of the test on the concrete background, here are the final images made for a magazine editorial in 2 parts.

     Inspired among other things, for those who know, by the universe of designer Enky Bilal. First of all the first part realized with Noémie Doragon.

test with chloe

         A quick little test with Chloé in the studio.

On a concrete decor created for an old series.

     the goal was to test an advertising light in a cold atmosphere, and the atmosphere was rather cold on this shoot, so it was successful.             ...

Pure Concrete wit Leslie

    I have already sent you the context of this series in a previous post. As well as the video giving the atmosphere.

Here is one of the most successful sessions, which made me want to continue.

Here with Leslie (for those who have the Reflections of Disorder book, she's on the cover).

As a bonus, the square format is a scan of one of the few polaroids I m...

Under the leaves duet

   Je m'essaie une nouvelle fois, à la captation de moments intimes de duo. 

    L'exercice m'a toujours semblé périlleux, et difficile à renouveler, tant beaucoup ont travaillé dessus, et peu ont réussi à y apporter quelque chose.

    Et je ne veux me laisser aller au simple flou. Nicolas Guerrin avait déjà réuss...

Lara first shooting

       it was the first session with Lara. Before she definitely goes to Paris, and returns to a modeling agency.

And already a huge potential. Both childish and seductive. very cute.

She reminded me enormously of Laetitia Casta, in her first images with Patrick Demarchelier.

           &...

workshop with Laure

  Those who have already done a workshop with me, know that I make few images during these.

I just make a few images at the beginning to show the rendering and my way of shooting.

Here was a workshop staff for a client who wanted to know how I put together my sessions.

     I therefore made an image at each stage to transfer the comment that ...

First Normal of the month video ( With sandra )

                  This is the video of the very first "Normal of the Month" shot for the magazine which was making its debut.

I'm posting this video now, because in the first part you see me shooting in a concrete stairwell.

This is actually where I was shooting the whole "Pure Conrete" series ...

Pur Concrete ( unpublished ) with M

Another  series in which I had started to work, and which I was never able to finish.

The goal was to return to an essential photo. Few things, the model, its curves, and a concrete background. Timeless.

natural light again coming from a ceiling, down an industrial staircase.

But after a few months the background was repainted, and became simply white.

This session ...

Deep forest ( session.....? ) with M

   I believe (no, I'm sure) that Mariame is in all my photo series.

each time I'm surprised to see her sense of freedom in front of the object, while she's not posing naked for anyone else.

And aside from his perfect physique, the way his skin takes on the light is a pure treat for the studio.

           &nb...

Concrete yoga

  M  is a yoga teacher, and therefore very comfortable with her body, which she constantly works on.

She asked me for a session for her site, in exchange for posing with me.

     Although comfortable in her theme of yoga, posing became a real constraint and broke her naturalness.

I therefore chose this concrete structure to give contrast...

green leaves and black skin

    The soft black and wild skin of Marianne, once again highlighting the hot and humid side of my tropical plants.....

     I still haven't been able to make a video of this series, but I intend to set up a shoot there to give you the atmosphere, before the end of the month....

the woman who talked to horses

It was one of those magical and rare moments impossible to predict.

we were at the barro festival. one of the organizers who liked me, told me about horses he had on a small island between 2 arms of rivers, behind the house.

We went there in the morning with Charline. The horses first fled when they saw us arrive.

So charline sat at the end of the bridge with apples, to wait f...

victory's curves ( 3rd and last part )

as said in the tittle, last part of this very creative  shooting.

deep forest session With vVctoire

     New session on this series

First test with Maydi

   Maydi is an agency model in parade. Normal given his endless legs.

     So we organized a first simple test, which will surely lead to a more advanced session.....

Maydi est mannequin d'agence en défilé. Normal vu ses jambes interminables.

               &nbs...

Dans sa peau ( in her skin )

    As promised here, exclusively at this tier is the full selection of images related to the latest major shoot in the Shibari series. Series that will have taken 4 years to see the light of day.  

      And what disturbs me is as much the difference in treatment (which is not mine), as the staging that I did in partnership with the ...

victory's curves ( second part )

       As I told you, here is the rest of the session with Victoire. Which was surely one of the freest and most erotic sessions of the series......

       So I'm going to dig in this direction to work on a special limited edition book, which I will of course let you know first of the release.....

Ambre in Cloakroom ( archives unpublished )

      I realized that I didn't post a lot of archive of this series. On which however I worked more than 2 years. And very little published outside of the book.

     Here the session with one of my favorite models. the incredible and timeless Amber.

of which I only published 2 images in the book.

   here, th...

when everything is too perfect......

    It happens that everything comes together to make a magnificent session, and that in the end, we miss out

This was the case for this session, with this superb Brazilian that an agency had sent me.

I had a great team (mua, hairstyle, styling), and a dream location. And yet everything I produced seemed banal to me.

suddenly the series, which was to leave ...

the curves of Victory

   There are going to be several interesting points to work on in this series, and I realize that little by little. Hence the interest of digging a track, and working on it for a while.

First of all, I will be able to dig into the erotic side, and maybe at some point make a book of it. As much as the aesthetic side.

And there on this level created on Patreon which see...

8 years after.....

    I'm lucky to have a very photogenic and always motivated  muse at home.

So, a week ago, after coming back from an audition, and when I had just finished my session and was cleaning up, she landed on the sofa, and told me that I have 3 minutes to make a picture.

here is the result of these 3 minutes (watch in hand), of session.

And suddenly it remin...

Deep Forest session with Fiona

    It had been a while since we had worked together with fiona. She is a model in an agency, and now works more as an actress. So little time.

   So I took advantage of his visit to my studio to pick up his copy of "Free at last", to give him a short session.

  And as always it was a great session. fiona has the elegance of a cat, and a ...

rope me 2

Please note this is a preview, not quite the final version yet.

It's a shoot that dates from 4 years ago, The last of the great series of cats and shibari, of which I would despair of seeing the video one day.

Because very destabilizing it is very far from what I usually do, and especially today.

The rendering is very modern, both very sensual and very cold.

So you see i...

Charly for No More Hiding

Charly is a cabaret dancer.

we had worked together 4 years ago and it was a very beautiful moment, although too short.

we promised to work together again. But in the meantime, she got pregnant, and no more time.

I had used one of these images for the book No more hiding. But had never published the whole session.

This patreon is therefore an opportunity to correct this l...

leather and velvet

     We had already worked with laure on this series (she was also one of those with whom I found how to work on this theme).

And since we really like working together, I suggested that she explore the sensual, even erotic side of the series a bit more.

I also had the chance to meet a new leather goods designer whose shapes and colors can support my point. 2022-05-15 20:33:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Deep Forest 14 ( Athena )

          I am still continuing in this series by digging a little more into the staging and the work of light thanks to the barndoor that constitute the large leaves of the Monstera Deliciosa.

This time with Athena, who is a gymnast with a very sculptural body. She had already posed for me in the Free At last series. By always offering th...

Danse aroud my studio

      Marine is a crazy horse dancer. She contacted me 2 years ago to shoot together in the free at last series.

It was cold, we had little time, but I really liked his sense of movement and his little freckles.

Since then, we haven't had time to really shoot together. Hopefully we'll get there this summer...

Shaved the edito ( unpublished part )

  One of the most amazing shoots I've done. With this rigger (the one that ties in shibari) specially from London, and these always fascinating sphynx cats.

A small part of the series appeared in the Austrian magazine The Opera.

here is, after the video, the complete version in photo
