the red velvet benche

         Small test with the Sasha model, in my theater seats, which I had just acquired.

                                 ------------------------

 Petit test avec la modèle Sasha, dans mes fauteuils de thêatre, dont je venais tout juste de faire l'acquisition. ...

shaved ( edito )

Another editorial made with this famous bathtub and sphynx cats. This time, mix with shibari. you probably recognize Charline. And the other model is a great shibarista from London who came especially for the session. The series appeared in the Viennese magazine "The Opera".

       Namely, the series was inspired by one of director Park Chan-Wook's fantastic "miss" scenes (I'm a big fan). A must see.   

     &nb...

the sea and the sheep....

   Session where we went along the Normandy coast with Anaïs, with a sofa in the trunk. I'm sure I'll find a nice place to put it. It was on the side of the road. the view was fantastic. Passing cars often slowed down, not really understanding what we were doing.

     we laughed a lot, while making beautiful images. Anaîs is one of those rare models with whom you can let yourself go to create freely.....

la loge des rats ( audrey )

   One of the most unsettling sessions in the 'Rat Lodge' series. It was at the very beginning, I still didn't really know where I was going, but the model apparently did.

       To tell the truth, I realized when editing what had happened with the hoop. Disturbing discovery. It was my debut, I was naive, and very focused on my shooting technique..... there was much worse afterwards, but then I realized it.....

return tobase with sarah

     Little test session with Sarah who had contacted me for her book. I offered to do nudes, she didn't want to. but I liked her mood, so I tried a session.

       In the end, it was she who proposed the nude at the end. But you should never force your hand. I hate photographers who do that. Things need to be laid down from the start!

              &nb...

bad girl ( cover )

   An attempt at a cover for an artist's disc that I had discovered during a Jazz evening, in a Parisian cabaret. We quickly hit it off. And I offered him to do the cover of his album "bad Girl" (a good title to get inspired.

       unfortunately, the album never saw the light of day ...... too bad, I liked the exercise.

                  &nbs...

la loge des rats ( any )

Another session in the series "the rats' lodge. It was still the beginnings. This can be seen in the styling that I had not yet completely found.

      but the model was perfect for the story.

       Little anecdote, I had really insisted with this model to pose for me, and she ended up accepting. A month later, I ran into her at a private party, and unable to recognize her, I asked her again. Which she must have tak...

girl in leather on my wall

 I had wanted to work with this model (Muffin) for a while, but she seemed reluctant. We ended up finding common ground.

    It's really an atypical and amazing model, which has an acute sense of pose. Almost too much, because it is difficult to get her out of her role if you want to obtain a more natural atmosphere.

     But there, with the atmosphere and the styling and the atmosphere, it fit perfectly.

self adiction ( edito )

   A somewhat special session, with the always amazing and creative Anais

     At the start, I had no idea which direction I was going to take. We arrived in this apartment that I didn't know, with accessories that a stylist I didn't know had brought me. Everything was white, which is not at all my type of decor. And this is where the choice of model is important. Because we knew each other well, and we trusted each other. So we supported each oth...

cat and mouse game

   Even if it doesn't show, it was one of my worst studio sessions. The cats were scared to death as soon as the flashes went on, and the mice were crawling through the model's hair. If my team had not been there I immediately stopped the session. which would have been a shame...

lost on a ouest south beatch

Back for the 2nd consecutive year on the beach of Montalivet, near Bordeaux. And still this incredible light on the ebb tide at the end of the day.....

       Once again, you can see the use of sticks or pebbles found on the beach to create the story.

                                 ...

la loge des trats ( amely )

               Another little session on the lodge series. This time with Amelia.

For this series, as I took a lot of time to set up the objects around the model. I made few pictures. rarely more than 3 or 4 per session. The technique was first to find the positioning of the model, and to place the objects according to this composition.

            ...

in the "loge " with Bordelle

      One of the sessions carried out in the dressing room, but this time, after the series met its success. It was a test for the English brand of lingerie "Bordelle", with whom I collaborated a lot afterwards.

mantis test for edito

    First light and scenery test that I had carried out to prepare an edito that became a video, which you will surely find in my videos in the name of "Mantis Nevrotpera" not bad, but a little too fixed, I was still looking for myself...... .

                                      ...

Marion on the railway

Session with the magnificent Marion mcr for Normal magazine. A pure moment of grace and pleasure in all simplicity.

      Notice that she almost always has an object in her hand. Which helps him find a capacity and tell a story. I often use this trick. Here at one point a piece of wood that I found on the tracks .... one might wonder what he is doing there, and that is really the goal.

           ...

la loge des rats ( artena )

This month, every week, a complete and often unpublished session of the series "La Loge des rats", which was my very first series published in book (now out of print).

      small history trying to make it short, because the story is long. After quitting fashion photography, I took a break for a year. Then I resumed as an amateur, in a small club that worked in a dance hall. The light in the dressing room intrigued me very quickly. After making a first imag...

the cat duet

Another test, with Lulu and Marine.

    I was supposed to put together a Siamese cat duo for a shibari series (I think I already posted it here). The purpose of this session was to see if the 2 worked together. Which turned out to be the case, beyond expectations.

                          -------------------------------

 ...

milk bath ( last part )

The last part of the bath series for Normal magazine.

        I had added a day, because I was not happy with my duet in the bath. the girl I had chosen the day before was too tall and sticking out everywhere.

      After asking for advice, I was directed to Caroline. a red-haired Asian (which is more than rare), who had an impressive portfolio.

    When I went to open the door for her,...

in dax arena

   It's always a pleasure to be guest of honor at a photo festival. besides being well treated, it is easier to ask for certain favours.

      here, it was for the Dax festival, which is one of the last towns with bullfighting arenas. And of course I asked for private access, which they hastened to grant me....C'est toujours un plaisir d'être invité d'honneur dans un festival photo. outre que l'on est bien traité, on peut plus facilement d...

reflets du desordre ( trixie )

             Certainly one of the most beautiful sessions in the series of reflections on disorder. With here, Trixie, who had just arrived from Lille; and who was to become one of my greatest muses.

      She was perfectly on topic; tall redhead with perfectly white skin, and timeless grace in her poses. I have never kept so many images from a session of reflections. Not to mention the illumi...

test on the concrete wall

   I have already posted here a few sessions of this series that I have not finished due to lack of time.

      here the very first try, not necessarily yet convincing with Lulu. But the natural light and this concrete background spoke to me. Subsequently I refined the subject. I see would show other more successful ones as a result.

                 &n...

a blogger on my roof

       In the heyday of fashion bloggers, it was one of the most followed. She had contacted me to pose in a sexier mode, to show something else to her followers.

       The "Maison Close" brand, which sponsored me at the time, asked me to accept, providing me with lots of lingerie.

      I was pleasantly surprised by his photogenicity. Although I never used the images afterwards. 2023-04-21 12:59:01 +0000 UTC View Post

two girls in the wind....

            Once again, here we are in the Bay of Somme. With Lulu (my partner at the time), and Lisa, a superb Russian model that I had tested for a Parisian agency the week before.

        She didn't speak a word of French, and very little English, yet the communication was very fluid, so listening doesn't always involve speaking.

        &n...

reflets du desordre ( armelle )

        New session of the series "reflections of disorder", with Armelle.

         It is one of the rare models with a (too) modern style that I have made in this series. But she had already posed for me several times. I loved what she gave off. I still kept one of the images for the book. Even if I find it too modern. The series is supposed to take place at the end of the 19th century.

louise for inked magazine

  A simple session, carried out for the magazine "Inked" in the section "tattooed of the month".

       We did other sessions afterwards with Louise. Notably for the series "Les Garçonnes".

a nurse on an island

    Why a nurse? Because I met her at a party in La Rochelle, where I was passing through, and was invited to an exhibition in... a hospital.

       We immediately hit it off. And the next day she took me to the Ile de Ré to take some pictures for her......without her blouse.

                         &n...

Cuban girl in a mirror

    New series for "Normal" magazine with the magnificent Cuban Dayana. Who has since chained the announcements.

        I have never seen such a smiling model during a session. A pure happiness. She offered me, at the end of the session, to come with her to Cuba to shoot. I did not have the lucidity to accept, my luck has passed....

               ...

first time outside with gwen

      Definitely one of my first outdoor nude sessions. With Gwen, who at the time was one of the most sought-after models in Paris. She had never posed naked outside either.

      The worst thing is that of course I took him directly to a construction site that I thought was disused, and that in the middle of the session, the caretaker, who was sleeping there, came out of the shed on which Gwen was sitting. Gwen ran away, and ...
