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

But A lot of my work ends up online now more than ever, which had me thinking: isn't this a waste? This entire session was made with Viltrox

Behind-the-scenes dance photoshoot This was somewhat inevitable, I won't break this tradition this year. I am a little bit behind with my blog posts, so here is the first of 4 coming this month. Every year I post a 60-90-second video summarizing the past year. This year will be no exception, it will be released later this month. This photoshoot of Virginie and Amaury was the last one made in this hidden location in Toulouse. It's not hidden, but most of the people I know here

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,

Feat. Alizée Juras Have we met before? Hell yes, a fire first session, in my opinion, so I was hoping our paths would cross once again. Just in case you missed it, here it is, you will quickly notice how different this one was compared to the one you are about to see: Temporary home studio part II I've been there before, so the challenge was to do it differently. Only one flash, the GFX100s and the GF80 f1.7. I had the 50mm and a wide angle in the bag, but they didn't move du

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

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

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.
