The first formal “curfew order” was introduced in 1918 by the British board of trade, which ordered shops and entertainment establishments to extinguish their lights by 10:30 p.m. in order to save fuel during World War 1. This is Le update to the current situation here in France. From mid December, we’re already under a curfew (8pm […]Read Post ›
I find myself making more and more images without people. Just something I have noticed lately while organising or editing final shots. It is certainly a result of less people being on the streets these days, first of all. On top of that, 95% of people that you’d come across in a city centre would […]Read Post ›
So here we are, rolling into 2021 and already there’s plenty of things to be shocked by. But I don’t want to go there. Like many of you perhaps, I’m thinking of my future goals for this year. No resolutions, no. Hardly anyone really succeeds with those. It’s more of a feeling of doing something […]Read Post ›
A few more shots from that walk just before the streets of Montpellier got flooded with busy shoppers and just ordinary folk walking around the city centre, enjoying Christmas lights and decorations. I could still capture isolated subjects. It was strange and unusual during this time of the year. The city centre is ready to […]Read Post ›
The following images were taken just before our second lockdown finished here in France. I took this opportunity to get out later in the evening while the streets were still quite deserted. Photographing in crowds of people is not my thing so one good thing about this semi-lockdown was that I was able to get […]Read Post ›
Another day, another photo walk. I guess we’re lucky we can come out few times a day but part of me thinks that this semi-confinement doesn’t actually do anything but harm our economy and mental health. In many ways, it just doesn’t make any sense. All non-essential shops are closed (small independent boutiques, hairdressers etc) […]Read Post ›
Days are getting shorter. We must make the most of the sunlight available to us. It’s not as easy as it seems considering movement restrictions that were put into place recently. It’s been two weeks since France have gone under another lockdown but as I mentioned before, this one is less strict. As long as […]Read Post ›
Visual expression is very often inspired by music for me. I’ve noticed it has always been that way. I’m not a person to have or think of regrets in life but probably the only one I have is that I can’t play any musical instruments. I have a good musical ear and I consider music […]Read Post ›
Before we all get locked up again, I wanna make the best of this light. This autumnal air. It’s probably the best time of the year for outdoor photography. Thing is… we’re still in f***** 2020 and tonight our president will speak again and introduce new restrictions. A second national lockdown? Very possible. So let […]Read Post ›
As I mentioned in a previous post, a new curfew is in place in 8 major cities in France. 9pm – 6am is a dead zone and streets are empty. Well, I guess it’s not very good for night photography but we could still enjoy the sunsets right? These below are taken in the past […]Read Post ›
