Do you like your hairdresser?

During a studio photo shoot for a cool barbershop in Paris with my friend Quentin Caffier, I saw these scissors that Vivien was using on a model. I guess it was the first time I saw such a big pair! So I decided to make a quick portrait of Vivien, the haidresser, backstage with the ambiant light. These pics make me laugh as Vivien looks like a psychopath with his scissors. Are you sure your haidresser is not a psychopath? Hahahahahahaaaaa!

Fashion Week Marathon

While I was in Paris shooting the Fashion Week, photographers like Christophe Margot were in the mountains shooting the best Freeriders in the world during the first step of the Freeride World Tour... The difference? He was outside in a big fridge, I was inside under the sun of the runway spotlights with 15 others photographers and cameramen around me. That's all. Oh okay, that's almost all...

Fashion Week is always intense. During 9 days I shot 17 shows (Menswear Prêt à Porter and Haute Couture), I spent a long day covering the Who's Next, a fashion convention in Porte de Versailles, and I went 3 times to the Paris Hotel de Ville to shoot singer Paolo Conte, director Peter Brook and singer Alain Chamfort who reveived the Vermeil Medal of the City of Paris. I don't know exactly how many pictures I have taken, but I guess it's between 8000 and 10 000 pictures!!
 Sometimes I hate the Fashion Week, sometimes I love it. When I say I love it, I'm thinking about very nice creations designers make and also thinking about the most beautiful places in Paris we have to go to shoot the catwalks like Hotel Crillon, hotel Westin or hotel Meurice. Places that I would have never been if I didn't shot the Fashion shows.Thanks to Getty Images France for that!

Here are few examples of the shows I shot. More images can be seen on the Getty Images website.
Sorry for the big copyrights, but it was a hard work and these images must be sold if I want to pay my rent, my new MacBook Pro and my favorite cookies at the end of the month!

Video Clip + Rain = Video Clip cancelled

Tonight, I had to take some "Making Of" photos of a video clip in the suburb of Paris. Even if it was cold outside, all was good until the rain came to say hello to all of us! The director was motivated to film under the rain as we could have a really unique ambiance, but the singer didn't think the same way... They finally stopped all, and I think it was the right way. But look at this amazing ambiance!
