The Body and Its Shadows (Part V)
Pour le cinquième volet de « The Body and Its Shadows », la lumière accompagne la courbe du dos de Karyne-Charlotte. Un portrait construit autour des lignes du corps, de la texture de la peau et de l’équilibre entre les formes éclairées et les ombres.
The Body and Its Shadows (Part IV)
Les jambes, les talons et les courbes deviennent les lignes directrices de ce quatrième portrait de « The Body and Its Shadows ». J’y poursuis ma recherche d’un éclairage contrasté, capable de donner du relief au corps et d’accompagner l’élégance de la pose.
Lao in Light (Part VIII)
Thursday, June 20, 2024

Lao in Light (Part II)
Wednesday, June 12, 2024
Soft light catches Lao’s hair against a dark background, while her gaze gives this portrait its quiet centre. The second part of “Lao in Light” explores a simple composition, the depth of chiaroscuro and the intimacy that can emerge from a restrained setting.

Why I don’t Put my Signature on the Photos I share
Je préfère laisser mes photographies vivre sans signature ni logo dans l’image. Un choix esthétique, mais aussi une réflexion sur les limites du filigrane face à la copie et sur le plaisir de partager un travail dont rien ne vient distraire le regard.

A glass of Lipton Ice tea

A black-and-white portrait from the journal’s early photographic entries, presented with the image as its focus.
Thermometer

Twinings Cold Infuse

Bamboo ear picks and toothbrushes
Saturday, February 20, 2021
Bamboo ear picks and toothbrushes, photographed while I was learning to work with a white background. The image remains unretouched, including the background tone that fell short of my intention: a small record of practical experimentation.
Moccamaster Pot
Saturday, February 20, 2021
A Moccamaster pot photographed during my first white-background studies. I kept the image unretouched, with a background less white than intended, as a record of the tests and adjustments behind learning to photograph everyday objects.
Glass of Water
Saturday, February 20, 2021
A glass of water, a white-background setup and an early experiment in lighting. This unretouched photograph preserves the result as it was, including the background’s imperfect white, rather than hiding the distance between the exercise and its intention.
