Quick look at the tools I used to retouch this image You probably have guessed it, this is taken from the session I did with Manon in Gruissan. Down below are some before and after images and you might be surprised by how much work I did on these. It is not a secret I now use AI on most of my images. The time when I spent hours retouching portraits and full body shots manually is over... or almost... I still haven't found the perfect workflow but this is the one that is worki

I had the pleasure to meet a new face for this session, going by the name of Maï Weiss. This will probably be our first and last photoshoot,

Featuring Louana Clementoni Our 2nd time working together after that quick studio test shoot we did in the studio a few months ago. We are once again in the streets of Toulouse for a simple traditional portrait session, with one flash. I went flashless for a while, and now I have an AD300 Pro in the bag more often. You've seen some of these streets before, so I will most certainly avoid them for future shoots. And the gear I brought hasn't changed since my last Behind the Sce

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

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

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 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...
