Behind the scenes (extended version) I mechanically (not always but often) record a few clips during my photography sessions, especially the impromptu ones, the urban/ street sessions, and smaller projects. I have this tendency, of filming storing, and forgetting the footage, and sometimes I simply erase these videos because I lack space on my drives.  That is a shame because no matter how bad these are I am sure there is some info there for you guys to pick up… Any type of b

Not my first EVOTO video, and probably not my last. I can say now that more than half my work goes through the software, for obvious reasons

Viltrox is doing an excellent job these days, and this 56mm is no exception, especially if you look at its price… But how do they do it? To

Feat. Nicole Martres & the Viltrox 56mm f1.4 Are you looking for an ultra-cheap portrait lens for your Fujifilm camera? Then you should look at Viltrox’s 56mm. Small compact, light, and super cheap. I never looked at Viltrox lenses seriously before and now own several of them for my XH2s. Are they perfect no, but their value for money is unbeatable at the moment. Here is my first Photoshoot with the Lens, I initially wanted to make the entire session with 56mm, but ended up

7 years since I’ve stopped covering events... Except for this one that I do every year.

This was my last FIne art Nude session to date, and not the last one I will do (never say never) but I don’t think I will do many of these t

Complete Behind the scenes Last photoshoot session of that day, with Nyamgerel... an amazing Handstand performer and contortionist, currently performing for the Cirque du Soleil's show OVO. All the setups used for the first sessions earlier that morning were used that afternoon. I prioritized the use of only one light as I favor the dramatic look overall for all three sessions. Again, I only used a 2nd light to lift the shadows and recover some details. So I advise you to wat

Complete Behind the scenes I won't share the story twice, so head to the first session we made inside this apartment here: Nansy Damianova portrait session ! Did we apply the same recipe here? Almost! I worked with Nansy and Danira at the same time, so needless to say to save some time I used the same setups for both for almost the entire session. But you would have guessed this by yourself:

Complete Behind the scenes I promised the entire Behind-the-scenes video of each session, so here is the first one featuring Nansy Damianova, an Ex-Gymnast now dancer and performer at the Cirque du Soleil. The company was in town for the show OVO, and this time I had the pleasure of seeing the act from backstage. We first discovered the show in 2018 thanks to Alanna Baker who was performing for the Cirque du Soleil. She was kind enough to put me in touch with some of the dan

Featuring Manon (Asuki) Parts I, II, III, and IV are now available on the blog. This Fifth session with Manon aka Asuki, was from the start a photoshoot made for the blog exclusively. A fine art nude session that wasn't planned, but I am glad it happened. This allowed me to meet a new model and further use my optical snoot.

Featuring Sarah Lemzaoui 4th session, all portraits, same gear, and location, I am just mixing up the ingredients at this point... and learning from other sessions. This is common, when I do multiple photoshoots in the same location 2, 3 days in a row. The first 2 are usually the ones where I mess up the most, and the last one or two are the ones where I am more efficient.

Featuring Erica D. Part I and Part II are available on YouTube and of course here on the blog. This 3rd session with Erica, ultimately couldn’t have been published on YouTube. There is not enough footage according to my standards, and the images we got may not be suited for YouTube anyway.

Featuring Alizée Juras I did not have enough footage, to make 6 different behind-the-scenes videos for YouTube. I have this rule that I...
