Bonjour !

Today’s images are coming from the reserve: at least 2 more weeks before the return of my D90.

I would like to introduce you to Jérémy, Jessiane’s older brother.

Jérémy is really at ease in front of the camera. Sooooo nice to have shootings like this.

Picture taken while at a Baton Rouge restaurant to celebrate Val’s 18th birthday. The place is dark, there is some kind of a small lantern with a yellow glow.

Val put her chin on the table, we took a couple of shots. Done.

Camera: Canon PowerShot SD870.

After “cute” Jessiane, here’s my beautiful Val.

When we are in a photo session Val and I, we don’t talk much. The picture comes naturally.

So please excuse me if I don’t have much to say.

I Think the image talks by itself.

Merci Val!

Here is my latest model: the gorgeous Jessiane.

Saturday last I had the chance to do a photo session with 2 very young and wonderful kids. I challenged myself by using the LensBaby composer for the whole shooting.

To start with, the LensBaby is not easy to manipulate as your are in manual mode, photographing the small fellas requires a strategy of its own. You must crawl among them for a good period, until they don’t notice you anymore, until you become part of their world.

No flash, a superb sunset light through the patio door.

A splendid model she is.

Thanks to the parents.
