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

Feat. Paolina Last but not least, this is Paolina's extended Behind-the-scenes video. You might be here because the Youtube version didn't suffice, or just because you are a Premium member. This was the longest session we made inside this Haussmannian apartment. What was supposed to be a simple portrait session became a little more than that, because of her beautiful costumes. She had to bring them with her once again, and once I saw them I just couldn't resist.

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.

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

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!

A short breakdown Some of you asked how this one was made... so here it is a short behind-the-scenes, and a few words on how I usually make these.

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

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.

Behind the scenes video Feat. Charlie Ruet Something I haven’t mentioned in my previous BTS video for the blog (but added this info in the article), I am using filters for these. Freewell's magnetic VND filters that lets me stack a black pro mist and a Blue streak or a gold streak filter. If you are following me on YouTube then you probably have seen my video where I shared my thoughts about them. Playing with colours and with tube led lights was the perfect opportunity to u
