Fashion just fashion
Instant Magic /
Do you remember those days when we were using instant films? You certainly do. They came with a negativ sheet fading away swiftly (ending usually in the closest trash bin). Any souvenir of the chemical stripes drifting from one edge to the other? Like an analogic glitch. Bleaching haïkus...
Off the Fiac /
During the 41st edition of Fiac, there is a fashion photography exhibition at Cité Internationale des Arts, 18 rue de l'Hotel de Ville in Paris, where one of my picture will be hanging. Go and bring it home! Ending night is on October 30th, be my guest (drop me a line).
Young at Heart in Cannes Fashion Photography Festival /
Cannes, June 2014: I was late for the opening ceremony of the Fashion and Beauty Photograpy International Festival. I'm a bit ashamed of that part but I'm much more proud to have been granted the Young Talent award. Humble and extremely grateful to be recognized young forever, 'cause "Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you/ If you're young at heart/ For it's hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind/ If you're young at heart"
Black White and Colors /
I've discovered pleasant words about my humble work somewhere on the web. Have a look!
Stand /
Two last ones from the Standard Beauty shoot.
E. Shot /
Noisy Kiss /
Grainy lips or mouth full of noise. Who knows?
Standard Beauty /
The actual photographs should be seen steadily in next Standard Magazine, on proper glossy pages.
Cast, sand and sea /
Air Networking /
“Social media are about sociology and psychology”
And balloons!
Standard /
Returning visitors and vespa enthousiasts already know that thoses pages made the cover for Standard Magazine this summer. Now, watch out the road!
Summer Ink Drops /
If you happen to visit a serious news stand agent this summer, have a look at the fashion story I shot recently for Standard Magazine.
Here is an image from it.
And there is a "making of" pix as well:
Me, shot in action, adjusting a massive bell, in order to entertain my crew during a long day of work. Why a Bell? I don't know, but it sounded great.
Big thanks to my agent Joséphine who caught the scene on camera.
Per una selva oscura /
I used to enjoy quoting those verses from Dante a lot, years ago but gave them a rest. I bet a swimsuit fashion story could be a proper opportunity for some literaly italic quotes. You'll tell me.
“Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita/ mi ritrovai per una selva oscura/ ché la diritta via era smarrita”
