Hi everyone, I started end of 2015 photography and my final goal is to make a Natalie Portman's portrait. Then I will stop. Before, I train myself shooting my friends and the people I meet in this generous life!
Update 2024: Since Natalie doesn't know about this project, I'm condemned to photographing until the end of time, and this is a relative good news!
About what I'm doing: I photograph my scenes with a digital camera. A scene is composed in such a way that it can be photographed with a film camera. In other words, there are only home-made tricks in my photos and I don't use photoshop or any other retouching software (apart from to remove the pimples on my nose). And of course I don't use AI.
I'm doing some exhibitions of my photography "work" in bars or galleries.
I'm selling the pictures and the whole money goes for different charities (true story), for example to karuna-shechen.org/en or www.unhcr.org
I'm not doing any profit of the sale so, for this reason, please, I'll ask to not use my pictures without my consent, because they are created for a different purpose (than being stolen). Thank you in advance!
If you are interested about using it for an ethic project and non commercial, just contact me, I'm sure we will find an agreement !

One of the most creative, artful and in some cases funniest portfolios I've seen on flickr so far. A real pleasure to watch all these fantastic images.
Selfishly I hope it takes a long time for you to meet up with Natalie Portman for then the rest of us can enjoy your original, inspiring and amusing photographs.
Une créativité sans limite et un travail soigné qui mérite que l'on s'y attarde avec beaucoup de patience car chaque photo émane un sentiment d'émerveillement par la réalisation d'ambiances et de situations toutes plus satisfaisantes et originales les unes que les autres. Un univers déjà bien trouvé pour un photograph… Read more

John, every single image in your gallery is a piece of art. Well thought out compositions with a perfect use of colors. Love it!! Keep up the good work.
for a change my testimonial is not about John's photos, although they are not bad at all, but about his "about me" blurb. This is the best "about me" I've come across on flickr so far.
