Behind the scenes video Feat. Charlie Ruet Something I haven’t mentioned in my previous BTS video for the blog (but added this info in the article), I am using filters for these. Freewell's magnetic VND filters that lets me stack a black pro mist and a Blue streak or a gold streak filter. If you are following me on YouTube then you probably have seen my video where I shared my thoughts about them. Playing with colours and with tube led lights was the perfect opportunity to u

Behind the scenes video Feat. Mira Rosa It took me a while to get used to these tube led lights. IT took me approximatively 2 months to understand them, and to actually find a way to use them in my work. I am not quite there yet, but I am getting close. The shape, the size, the output of these lights can be a challenge at first, espescially when you are used to working with flashes. But they offer new possibilities, that I cannot ignore. So I had to regularly work with them,

Feat. Charlotte R. This summer I did a few private "home" sessions and I rediscovered the joy and pain of setting up a temporary studio inside someone else's home. I have a few tricks to make up for the lack of space, but I recently discovered a new way to hang a back drop. For this sesion, I used 2 suction cups from ifootage, 2 spider crabs (magic arms) and a Manfrotto to hang my backdrop from 2 windows. It held the weight pretty well, so I decided to use this technique ever

Behind the scenes video feat. Clara P. My first photoshoot made entirely with RGB tube led lights, from start to finish! I have been playing with these GODOX TL-120s for a few weeks now and thought I’d share my first images and thoughts on the blog. I’ve used other tube led lights in the past, and most recently the ones from Nanlite . I never did an entire session though as I felt limited and couldn’t create all the images I had in mind. From 2 tubes to 8 for this session, I’

A familiar face! You’ve seen Célina before, and I praised her talents multiple times. She is not a dancer, nor a performer, but as a model she is able to improvise and propose a wide array of emotions, shapes and forms with her body unlike any other models I worked with before.

Review of the GODOX VSA-36K I am always looking out for new tools! To be creative? No, just to have fun… because I always feel like a kid...

Feat. Frany Duran This improvised sensual boudoir photoshoot happened during my very short stay in Paris, a few weeks ago. I just decided to open a spot for a quick session and Frany jumped onboard and was game for an unprepared session. We met, discussed briefly about what we can eventually do together. I discovered the outfits on the day and we started shooting right away! The short exchange we had prior to shooting is important. It was my first time working with her, so it

Behind the scenes video feat. Michele J. If you are following this blog, you probably already know michele. We did a fun first shoot together inside a carpentry a few weeks back.. A totally different vibe and theme, if you missed the behind the scenes video on YouTube, you have everything rught here on the blog: A creative fitness photoshoot bts ! The truth is, that session at the carpentry was our 2nd shoot together and this one was our first. We did a boudoir, lingerie se

My first steps feat. Célina B. This is part IV of my journey exploring Fine art nude Photography. Down below are previeious articles on the subject. Fine art Nude photography (part I) Fine art Nude photography (part II) Fine art Nude photography (part III) 4th and final article and maybe the most interesting one for me as a dance photographer. "Flow posing" or letting the model improvise was never my favorite approach. I started with a lot of improvisation, letting the mode

My first steps feat. Emma H. This is part III of my journey exploring Fine art nude Photography. Fine art Nude photography (part I) Fine art Nude photography (part II) With Emma, we went for something more colorful and straightforward. Photographing her sitting down helped. Standing up without any clothes on is sometimes not easy to handle for models. Having that much of the body exposed is tricky. Although we are placing the lights for contrast and depth there isn't much we

My first steps feat. Meava K. This is part II of my journey exploring Fine art nude Photography. Fine art Nude photography (part I) Some of the following images were orginally posted in the article about Vinyl backdrops. If you haven't seen the review and first behind the scenes video, here is the link: Upgrading to Vinyl backdrops? You know light is the most important thing you have to master in photography... It seems obvious, but I feel a lot of photographers tend to forg

My first steps feat. Clara P. This was an important step in my photography work 2 years ago, and not the easiest one to make. I had a precise idea of how I wanted to approach this type of session, but I hesitated several years before making the step. I met a dancer a few years ago who asked me why I never tried fine art nude photography. The question surprised me! She further explained that a few of my models in my past images would have looked better without any accessories
