Bei der Erstellung eines Fotos spielen viele Parameter eine Rolle, von denen einige durchaus kontrollierbar sind, andere aber manchmal völlig zufällig. In dieser Serie hat sich der Wind dazu entschieden, den Körper des Modells auf poetische Weise zu umhüllen.
Numerous parameters come into play in the making of a photograph, some of which are entirely controllable, while others can be totally random. In this series, the wind has chosen to envelop the model's body in a poetic way. Sometimes the wind is my friend!
I have always loved designing photo books. For some time now I have been making a book that includes the photographs from a shooting. Here is the model of one of my last books made with Louise, which you can browse online on Calaméo.

I often photograph through translucent screens. The plastic sheeting is a light trap that always surprises me. The colored gel on the crystal paper gives great effects
The images always contain and deliver the same obsessions: the body, desire, eroticism, death, solitude.
For the making : plastic sheeting, wind, overhead light, and a bit of chance.
On-going series.
What I like about the portrait is obviously the light but also the material. This is why I work as both a painter and a photographer. All the effects of materials and colors are therefore developed during the shooting. I paint on transparent film with colored gels or not, acrylic paints, powders, pigments, etc.
