Going with the flow
Urban portraits with Charline Poncin It is our 2nd time working together, and I really hope it will not be our last. We almost didn't make this one happen. Busy schedules for both of us and just before the session she twisted her ankle! So I had to adapt and rethink things a bit, but still, we easily managed to make this urban portrait session work. A simple session, with only one camera, one lens, and both us... and the unpredictable weather of Toulouse!

Behind-the-scenes portrait photoshoot
"home sessions" feat. Charlotte [Extended cut] I wasn’t sure how I wanted to release this one, that’s why it took me so long. You’ve seen bits of it in my review of the PROAIM apple boxes , and first impressions on the Freewell Prism filters . This photo shoot was a revelation for me. Even though working with continuous led lights may in some instances be the best choice, I realized that I was much more comfortable working with flashes for my photography. That is why I still,

Behind the scenes potrait photoshoot
"home sessions" feat. Clara C. Better late than never! I changed my mind a thousand times before releasing this one and charlotte's Behind the scenes video (on the way). The reason for my struggle was that we tested too many different things during these home sessions, and I thought it would be too confusing just to release them in full. In the end, Maeava's session was released a few days ago without the images made with Freewell's Prism filters. The following content is C

Fitness photoshoot feat. Manon Vergé
Behind-the-scenes [Extended cut] I wanted to make something different with Manon because, the last time we met, we didn’t have much luck with the weather in Strasbourg. This time she traveled to Toulouse, and then we all drove further south to get closer to the sea. I wanted to work without any artificial light as much as possible. I was looking for a look that would be in between my usual dramatic commercial look, and something more realistic. A little bit of improvisation

Creative portraits feat. Clara René
Behind the scenes [Extended cut] An inspiring location, flying fabrics, smoke, and a multi-talented model. Business as usual… Perhaps this is why I need to initiate a change in my work as soon as possible. This doesn’t mean this wasn’t fun, and in fact, it was quite the opposite. There were only 3 of us there, with enough time to experiment a bit. Let's take a closer look at these images, how we made them, and why they symbolize the end of an era.

Basic retouching & colour grading #1
A quick breakdown! I posted a qui speed edit on Instagram a few days ago. I decided to slow it down for you, and will share in the article down below the reason behind each layer.
