My nine-year-old son recently triggered a deep reflection process when he said that, I quote, one of his friends had a dream life and he didn’t. Continue reading “THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE – PART 13”

So.
Anything funny, a bit surprising, and a tad crazy this past few months?
Sure! The unexpected shooting of a TV episode for Fashion One Television, in English, over the course of two days. Continue reading “THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE – PART 12”

This is a morning like no other. Obviously. Let’s be honest for a minute.
During week time, mornings – at my place at least – are closer to a very controlled speed race but a speed race nonetheless. Continue reading “THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE – PART 11”

I nearly died during this photo shoot. Yes, yes, yes. I was calmly walking over to the place where Cedric, my fully equipped photographer (top quality lens, integrated light box and all that not-so-discrete attire). Continue reading “THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE – PART 10”

The holidays and the beautiful weather have allowed me to post photos and videos of me on a gorgeous sailing boat. These posts make it seem like my life is magazine material. Continue reading “THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE – PART 9”

Please find attached the images that exemplify an utter, complete failure of a photoshoot.
I don’t have tons of free time in my day to day life so I often try to bring things together as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Continue reading “THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE – PART 8”

A few people – be they my dear teen or lawyers who know about the double life as lawyer/digitalizer I lead – often encourage me to share a bit more about my life, in all its craziness and complexity. Continue reading “THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE – PART 7”
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE – PART 6
It’s rather easy to look fresh, dewy and put together on a photo… if you are lucky enough to work with a professional photographer with good taste and top-notch material.
This happens to be my case, given that I wanted to launch and build this website in the most professional way possible. Continue reading “THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE – PART 6”

When your name is neither Vogue, nor Vanity Fair, when you’re simply a lawyer in banking and financial law (it’s quite arid, I agree) but you want to become the poet, the representative of Parisian elegance, how do you organise a photo shoot ?

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE – PART 4
It’s not a secret to anybody that I love the retro style. However, I’m more of a fan of the ‘retro touch’ than the full vintage retro look. I admire some of the women who are capable of wearing shoes, makeup, clothes and an updo that would fit perfectly into a picture from the 40s, 50s, or 60s but I feel very removed from that world for several reasons.

I realize that I have been lying to you.
Partially lying, to be precise. Against my will, in reality. Continue reading “THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE – PART 3”

After an incredible number of photo-shoots for this website, I understood that being photogenic doesn’t really exist.
Being photogenic (a state which I did not find any precise definition for, except perhaps “that looks good in picture”) is first and foremost a question of lighting (which is actually quite obvious given the fact that “photo” means “light” in ancient Greek if my memory serves me right).
