J'ai rencontré Daniel, pour un premier shooting, à Hong Kong.
Quelques mois plus tard, nous avons remis le couvert à Shenzhen.
Daniel est depuis modèle professionnel.
I don't make a lot of people's photo shootings in Paris anymore.
But I made a new one this morning, with a very nice guy from Thailand.
He's a musician (professional cellist) and a part time model (he played in a video advertising for Pepsi recently).
But this is not the point of this post...
I wrote one on my Facebook this week, talking about a Paris "photographer" that pretends working as it since 28 years, and only makes, according to me, only "feelingless" pictures. I was a little upset to see people "liking" on Facebook one of this pictures shot in one of Paris tunnels. The picture was simply bad: no feeling, as usually, but such a poor quality! Everybody would have made a better feelingless picture with an iPhone 4!
Maybe I'm pretentious, maybe I'm jealous, maybe I'm just right: light and emotions are raw materials for a photographer. If you don't know how to deal with them, don't pretend you're a photographer. Just say you like taking pictures. It's not a shame, but being humble is being human and is being honest with others and with yourself.
Anyway, I'm proud to show that making nice pictures is tunnel is a possible ;-)
Part of my "chinese desert" shootings, with Gio, Yoga teacher in China.
This picture is part of my "chinese desert shootings", made in may 2017 close to Qinhuangdao.
Shooting in this amazing place was something unexpected for me.
A great moment in my photographer's life :-)
Started to work on Beijing shootings.
This portrait of Gio, chinese yoga teacher, was shot at Intercontinental Sanlitun Hotel, Beijing, in may 2017.
