When an Ex Gymnast does Boudoir
What a weird Idea, sometimes I am obsessed with strange ideas and in order to get things out of my system, I need to materialize them. So that’s what I did. Do I like the results, what did I learn? Let’s find out!

It’s really my thing, I’ve done it in the past, I’ve tried things that I ended up not liking afterward… Sometimes I enjoy the process, like the results right after, but when I look at the images months later I end up hating why I did. You can actually see some of these on YouTube and in my blog. Of course, they are no longer in my portfolio but they are accessible because I like the idea of having access to my old work and being able to see how much my work has evolved and changed through time.
We tested different things during this session, different angles, and perspectives. We worked in a familiar hôtel room that didn’t give me much space to work with this time, even less than usual. But I had the chance to have a familiar face in front of my lens… Miss Maeva. The weather wasn’t great, and we missed the best time of the day already. You know that moment the light comes through the only window you have in the room? We basically missed it or had thick clouds blocking the sun most of the time. So we had to fake it, by placing my Broncolor flash on the balcony to replace the missing sun.

I didn’t really Guide Maeva on this one, we tried a few different things. I simply described to her the mood and tone, gave her a few basic shapes I had on my mind, showed how I wanted to frame her and compose my shots and we built each image together.
