"I have observed a number of works which actually lead one to assume that certain people's eyes show them things differently from the way they really are ... who perceive – or as they would doubtless say 'experience' – the meadows as blue, the sky as green, the clouds as sulphurous yellow, and so on ... I wish to prohibit such unfortunates, who clearly suffer from defective vision, from trying to foist the products of their faulty observation on to their fellow men as though they were realities, or indeed from dishing them up as 'art'."
Adolf Hitler, 1937.
Strong words these...

Week 27
Few weeks ago I saw a casting call on ModelMayhem where a model was looking for a photographer for a Saree/Indian clothing photoshoot. I decided to reply as it looked like a lot of fun.
Well, it was a lot of fun indeed!
Shrabani (the model that published the casting call) set up everything. We had 2 models, a makeup artist, some wardrobe and a couple of wardrobe stylists who assisted me during this photoshoot. Life was easy on this one.
We shot 2 styles for each model so we had the opportunity to have some various type of shots.
The whole team was really friendly so it was real pleasure to work with them.
For this shot I had one of the stylist holding an gold reflector to warm the scene. I'm glad they were there and happy to help because it was pretty windy!
It was supposed to rain that day but it was sunny during our shoot so I left the flash in the bag as long as the ambiant light was strong enough.
Enjoy the Week!

Semaine 27
Il y a quelques semaines, J'ai vu une annonce sur ModelMayhem pour lequel un photographe était recherché pour un photoshoot avec des saree/vêtements indiens. J'ai décidé de me proposer vu que ça avait d'être assez fun comme truc.
Eh bien c'était effectivement super fun!
Shrabani (la modèle qui avait publié l'annonce) a tout organisé. On avait 2 modèles, une maquilleuse, plusieurs vêtements et un trio de stylistes qui m'ont également servi d'assistantes durant ce photoshoot. Bref, la vie m'a été facilitée sur ce coup.
On a shooté 2 styles différents par modèle du coup on a pu avoir des looks différents.
Tout l'équipe était vraiment amicale, l'ambiance était super et c'était donc très agréable de travailler avec elles.
Pour cette image, j'avais une des stylistes qui tenait un réflecteur doré histoire de réchauffer la scène. Je suis bien content qu'elle soient restée et qu'elles aient été contentes donner un coup de main parcequ'encore une fois il y avait pas mal de vent!
Il était censé pleuvoir ce jour là mais on au final on a eu un beau soleil le temps de la séance alors j'ai laissé le flash dans le sac tant qu'on avait assez de lumière.
Passez une bonne semaine!
