last pictures of workshopnude 2021

     This year the workshop was particularly intense, because we had a lot of trainees. The models were put to intense shooting. So I hardly took the camera out. 

     The aim was more to show techniques and tips. Here are the few images that I was able to steal from Margot and Marie ......

unpublished nude on the armchair

2 versions of a simple nude on an armchair. (Something I do too rarely). a color, a black and white ..... hard to choose.

the school bus and the wagon....

     A small "school bus" is set up just below the parking lot. 

it deserved a full sun session, to give the Californian side. but I could not help but continue the session on a wagon in the shade, to return to my classics ....

archive unpublished " reflets du désordre " 1

         Let's start this Patreon's posts with an unpublished image from the "Reflections of Disorder" series 

           Because it is surely the series on which I made the most images without being able to publish them all. It is also the series which had the most success in gallerie...

some pictures of the last workshopnude in Toulouse

          2nd part of some pictures taken during this year's workshopnude.

          Always with Rebecca who remains the perfect model for this kind of exercise. Not only by its impeccable plastic, but also by its generosity and its ability to take your idea beyond what you expected. <...

behind the wood door

       We only had 5 minutes because we were in the middle of the workshop.

         But there was a pure place, a beautiful light, and a perfect model for it. The urgency can sometimes reinforce the intensity of the moment, and obliges to be attentive and concentrated, no second chance ..... the re...

test with Amandine

     First test with Amandine, and first nude session for her.

    It was last year, and I have to be unhappy with myself in this session. Was it the embarrassment of the model (yet very pretty and very voluntary) that I could not evacuate, or simply a day without. 

     As here, I allow myself to be transpar...

Aline's sofa

        First little session with Aline, which dates from 3 years ago, and of which I had never published the images, except one in the book "No More Hiding". 

    Still on the docks next to my studio. There was an abandoned sofa. That was enough to give us the theme, we took advantage of it ......

Kate in a cloud....

it was 5 years ago, we were on a beach in the southwest with a photographer friend.

       In the middle of the afternoon, a small sheet of mist arrived from the sea. The light has changed, to become strong and diffuse at the same time. I ran to my car to get my camera. The session was short because the cloud only stayed a few minutes.

two ladies on a plateform!

        I risk myself little to the duo.We may have 2 beautiful models, it is often difficult to find a balanced duo. And in the nude, the subject becomes all the more sensitive. 

      I had already shot with Marie and Marianne, but never together. To acclimatize, we first played a more lively version while walkin...

Last shooting with Marie

     Marie is an American model who spends her time between New York and Paris. 

She quit modeling to work in business, but every time she passes by, she comes to visit me in the studio. once again, between two showers, we walked around the abandoned train voices around my studio ..... a lovely moment of freedom.

angelika for no more hiding

           As I have already specified, this pattern is the opportunity to show you the images of series that I could not publish entirely for lack of space or interested magazine, because they are few.

          Here, for those who have the book, you will recognize some of the images ...

Cuban Modele in " 60's untold " series

       Amazing cuban model who invited me inher island to make a shooting. Hope i will be able to go there soon ......

" free at last " with cledia

   Last Shooting oustside with Cledia. 

      Second time, for us. And it still so confortable to shoot with a modele so free of herself and her apparence., Giving you a classy natural, so hard to find in front of the camera.....

Archive and Pola

     At that time, it was for me the transition between working in film and digital.

     I was therefore still working in medium format (like here) with black and white film. and I was always doing an ending polaroid, to have a real memory of it.

        Here, 2 images (and the pola) from the ...

in bullfighting arenas

Four  years ago, I was guest of honor at the Dax photo festival. 

     it is a city which still has bullfighting arenas. And they opened the doors to the arenas for me for a private shoot.

 lucky me, at that time, to have charline and Andja, 2 models of choice ... a very nice souvenir, of which I had published only 3 photos in my books. So her...

on my terrass with nancy

       I really like the idea of this patreon who forces me to go through my archives, and sometimes forgotten sessions.

        Like this first test with Nancy (I absolutely have to work with her again), when I had my studio with a terrace. We started with a simple session. Before doing a session on ' the pure con...

rainy time, with trixie

         This year, the sun has decided to keep quiet, and the temperatures remain  fresh.

       Not always easy for models, suddenly you have to make the shooting fast. But I feel comfortable with this gray but soft atmosphere with very little contrast. Which certainly fits with my melancholy  and ...

archives ' Loge des rats " unpublished

           Back in my archives

             Particularly in the ' la loge des rats' which was the series I worked on the longest in only 12 m2.

       I find images that I liked very much, but that I did not have. published in the...

hanging on the train

       Small part of the new session with oceane (we had already done one in the studio this winter).

        Hanging on to the train, océane decides to abandon herself, to no longer be in a fashion  pose. Letting go is seen in her eyes,  soft and intense at the same time, it is the thrilling moment that...

from below, from above

         In the middle of a pine forest more accustomed to industrial places, I had trouble finding an original angle, and these interesting woods did not inspire me much. 

             Until I find this fallen dead tree. first of all by lengthening the model on it, which was...

back on track with Violet

         An excellent weekend to go shooting around the studio. 

This time with the generous Violet. Nothing to say about this cession, just the pleasure of shooting since we had already done a studio session this winter together. Just looking for the shadows, and the backlight ........

Sarah on my old sofa....

         Still waiting to be able to take pictures outside. but unfortunately last week was still too cold 

            So, back to my studio on my old sofa. this time with sarah, who is an actress, and who moves very well naturally. So, the idea was to give her as much mobility a...

last exit to brooklyn with eva

        I share here  the last series carried out with eva biechy (model with whom I wanted to work for a long time). 

               Once again, a ballad style session around my studio. The little extra, as Eva had a lot of photos in fairly soft natural lately, I b...

in the shadow of the large reels

          The last session with Emma, which I had already shot in the studio. This time outdoors, before the cold weather arrives. Next week (0 degrees announced).  

          Always around my studio near the railroad tracks, where I have the chance to have exclusive access. In additio...

outside with loriane

      Since we are getting locked up, I think it's time for me to start the shoots outside.

      As it is still a little cold in Paris, you have to go fast, and accessorize. Here with Loriane, for our first session.  

        And I will make maximum use of the land around my stu...

vanille natural in studio

        I had wanted to work with Vanille on an outdoor series for a while.

    Because in addition to her pretty body, I like her mischievous face, with despite her femininity, a little tomboy side that I appreciate in my image style.

    Unfortunately on the day of the shooting, the temperature fell fa...

Delphine in middle of concrete

        I fell back on this shooting with Delphine which dates from last fall.

 I had never posted it because I was not happy with what I had done. given the place and the model, there was surely better to do. I had kept them in black and white.

       But looking at the images again, I said to myself th...

Studio with Rebecca ( 2nd part )

    You saw already the first Part, so you know the condition witch are exactly the same. Just a change of stylism. And as you see, there is a lot of different things to do with , a Woolen sweater ( you might see the same in futur shootings ),  a stool and a beautifull model.
