A few days ago, I have finally managed to join my best friend’s band practice/recording session. It’s been on my mind for a while now, to do a little documentary project about Outback – an acoustic rock duo, based in South of France. Organising date and time was always an issue as we all have […]Read Post ›
I’m not a gear head. I remember owning 2 cameras at some point, a few years back. One of them was Canon 550D and the other was a point & shoot 10mp Panasonic. That point & shoot eventually led me to selling my bulky Canon and getting a more practical for street photography Fujifilm X70. […]Read Post ›
I’m sharing some images from January 2021. I haven’t done many walks this month so far. It’s been quite busy and tiring at work, although I’m not complaining. On top of that, the 6pm curfew is still on and is quite annoying to be honest. However, no lockdown yet, so I’ll stop moaning. Streets are […]Read Post ›
Due to my working hours, I get to shoot way more often at sunsets rather than early mornings. Both times of the day are great to shoot, needless to say. Early mornings you can get these soft subtle colours, warm light. On late afternoons there’s more drama, atmosphere and deep contrasts. Here’s the sequence of […]Read Post ›
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 ›
