Wow, I barely realise what happened this weekend.

Here I was minding my own business and daydreaming about switching to 120 MF film, and bam ! Mint Yashica Mat 124 found on Saturday morning, first roll on the evening in my favorite bar, developed on Sunday and voila !

First images are crappy, I messed up the dev pretty bad, but hey, camera works like a charm, here is to a lot more rolls !

tl;dr : So yeah, I’m into 6×6 now :)

At the 8th edition of PHOTO DOCKSARTFAIR in Lyon.

This awkward moment where you find yourself more attracted to the building hosting the exhibition than to the works of art themselves...

I can’t help it, geometry soothes me :)

I usually have a hard time interacting with strangers – and people in general to be honest – but this brilliant albeit rather drunk guy made for an awesome encounter !

Orlando, I believe he said his name was, saw my camera and asked me for a photo, then 2, 3, a bunch, taking pose after pose so naturally I didn’t even think about it and just enjoyed snapping shots of him.

He event went as far as writing me a thank you note after a few talks and photos more.

Great guy.

Tellurique — études / studies

Having fun with a Posca and a few handmade prints. 

These might turn into a series if I manage to get my drawing skills back up from terrible to halfway decent ^^

The prints are only 18×24cm, I’ll maybe try it out on bigger paper – not sure yet as a series with lots of small prints may suit the concept better –

Anyway do get in touch if you like these, I’ll try to make more and will sell a few of them ;)

First look at the finished exhibition prints of my « collages » series, and they’re lovely ❤

The show starts next friday, can’t wait to hang the frames on the walls of my favourite bar !

Just look at the tones on this HP5+, I am definitely in love with black & white.

A few announcements :

I’m setting up a new exhibition for september and it’s shaping up nicely !

Considering I’m making my own analog prints for this one, I got myself a home lab and it’s awesome, so I thought I’d celebrate with a print sale :)

So here goes ! 18×24cm homemade prints of any of my photos (even some yet unpublished ones) for a very sweet price. 

Do get in touch !

La photo contemplative du dimanche 29 mai 2016.

A recent try of mine at street photography.

It’s far from my specialty (especially as it involves shooting human beings and not buildings), but I’m thinking about giving it another go soon.

Shot with my trusty Olympus XA on just as trusty Ilford HP5+
