The entire session was photographed with the Fujifilm XH2s, and the just released Sirui Sniper lenses kit. 3 lenses (23mm, 33mm, and 56mm) with a fast f/1.2 aperture delivering images with a distinctive character. If you missed my first thoughts video, here it is: Sirui Sniper X-Mount Lenses, first thoughts

Quick improvised Ballerina photoshoot
A short session Feat. Juliette Baud I love unplanned sessions, this one was a really quick one with the young and talented Juliette Baud. I was in Strasbourg for a short trip and this was my 3rd photoshoot that day. I would have placed it for another day, but she wasn't available, and I didn't know If I would be able to meet with her again later this year. Before you dive into this one, I just officially launched my GIVEAWAY on Instagram with my partner Thinktank.fr:

BTS Yoga Photoshoot (Extended)
Featuring Sandy Océane I received a few comments, messages, and people asking me if I enjoyed the freedom of shooting with very little gear. The answer is yeah, I got used to it, I shoot more, faster and the relationship with the model is different. I don’t know how long this will last, as long as I enjoy it I guess, as long as people ask for it.

BTS Portrait photoshoot (Extended)
Feat. Nina Portalier 4 out of 5, this is Nina's extended Behind-the-scenes video. I said it in my previous posts, I will only share parts of this in the Youtube version. This is the shortest session I made in this Haussmannian apartment situated in the center of Toulouse. It was my first time working with Nina aspiring French actress, and I hope to be able to meet up with her again this summer for future Film productions. We did improvise a bit, nothing was really prepared be

For better or for worse...
Changing my methods, was it a good idea? One of the many reasons I still keep up with the blog. It’s to share this type of session. I decided to completely change my approach for a big part of this photoshoot. I even did the opposite of what I usually do. For the fun, challenge, lesson, and everything that might happen before, during, and after. A few weeks later I finally took the time to review the files, Choose the ones we liked with Clara, and retouch a few for the blog.

BTS Contortion and colored smoke
Lost & Found session with Maeva K. This photo shoot is from February 28, 2021! I don't know why, but the making-of footage got lost... and I found it again a little while ago while cleaning up my hard drives. You've probably already seen some of these images, as I shared them on Instagram 2 years ago. It felt weird to dive back into that session. If you've been following me for a while, you'll definitely notice the detail that proves this shoot is a bit dated... My Broncolor

Less is more...
Urban portraits with Eva Maureille "Less is more", is my motto these days. I constantly needed more on many of my photography projects over the past 3 years. I hit the ceiling not so long ago, realizing that I was unable to only make large-scale projects all the time. But more importantly, I learned recently how much I went overboard so many times. A few past projects could have been developed and materialized with less gear and better preparation. This may sound odd to you i

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!

Home studio boudoir
Behind-the-scenes video Feat. Ophélie F. Kind of a throwback... I found these files sleeping inside my hard drive and thought I'd make a quick edit and share the footage and final images with you. I only posted a few on Instagram back in 2021, and for unknown reasons didn't post the others. While digging those out I found other sessions that I never shared before, so please tell me in the comments if you want more of these in the future on the blog.

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,

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.
