0Welcome
Hello dear visitor, welcome to my photography world. I am a radio frequency engineer who moved from France to experience a new life in Canada. Living far from my friends and family, traveling for fun and for work I created this blog and website to share a bit of my life with them and everyone else interested in photography. I grew up in front of the Atlantic Ocean in the south of the beautiful region of Brittany. As a passionate photographer, I try to catch the best of each moment from the life in the streets to the changing colors of nature. Photography has almost always been part of my life and helps me to understand and remember the beauty of our world. I hope I’ll enjoy your time spent here.

Experimenting with artificial light
Even if we have a warm winter this year, we are in Canada and it is still quite cold. I have checked my archives and January and February are the time of the year where I usually take the fewest photos. The reason is that the amount of motivation needed to go outside to explore the city or nature is clearly too high for me when it is -15°C. So, it is the perfect time to experiment with studio photography. As I was thinking to buy some equipment to set up a little home studio, I had the opportunity to go to a studio session at Garry Black’s studio in Ottawa. I have already been to some of his workshops in the past and he has tonnes of great advice and we always have a nice time with other photographers and models. For this new session we had three hours and three models to work with. Here are some of my favorite photographs of the session. My next step is to set my own studio at home to take portraits of people that I know. Thank you Garry, Keirstin, Jennifer, Kim and everybody for the fun time yesterday.
Même si cette année l’hiver est doux, nous sommes au Canada et donc les températures sont toujours assez basses. En regardant mes archives j’ai noté que les mois de janvier et de février sont ceux de l’année où je fais le moins de photos. La raison est simple, le niveau de motivation pour sortir explorer la ville ou la nature est souvent bien trop élevé pour moi lorsqu’il fait – 15°C à l’extérieur. J’ai donc décidé de monter un petit home studio pour expérimenter la lumière artificielle. J’en ai profité pour passer quelques heures au studio de Garry Black à Ottawa. J’avais déjà été à certains de ses workshops, il toujours de bons conseils et l’on passe un bon moment avec les autres photographs et modèles. Lors de cette nouvelle session, nous avions trois heures avec trois modèles pour travailler les lumières et poses. J’ai sélectionné ici certaines de mes photos préférées de la session. La prochaine étape est donc d’acquérir un peu d’équipement pour reproduire ce travail chez moi avec les gens de mon entourage. Merci Garry, Keirstin, Kim, Jennifer et tous les autres pour la belle session d’hier.
Thank you for reading. 😉
