| Born : May 25th, 1951
1993 : Joined the local amateur photographers
club with the purpose of learning all about black/white photography. Developed
my first films and printed my first negatives using the marvelous installations
of the club.
1993-96 : Shot an awful lot
of films. Subjects : rock and jazz concerts, street photography, people
(outdoors), night photography and ... discovered the "play"
of light on a subject.
1996-98 : Discovered the club's
studio and its strobe lights. After a few try-outs I realized THIS was
the place were it was possible to make light work for you to a maximum.
So different than the outdoors. Models dropped by and I slowly got seriously
"bitten" by studio work.
1998-2000 : Slowly moved to
a more artistic approach to the subject of model photography and eventually,
in the summer of 1998, I did my first nude sessions.
2000-today : I continue with
the studio work and my first subjects (love) of interests!
Discovered the amazing world of the infrared film. Use it for both landscapes
and artistic nudes.
