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

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!

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

Behind-the-scenes portrait & boudoir
"home sessions" feat. Emma H. Back in my tight space, where I am thankful for not being claustrophobic. The only advantage I have working at home is that I have all my accessories and gear with me… and I can sip a cup of coffee or tea While I am shooting. Other than that, If I do anything outside portraits, things will become tricky, and If I work with more than 2 lights, then the headache is right around the corner. Joined by Emma once again let's find out how we made it wo

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.
