This week, I firmly encourage yout to give attention to unusual things. Unexpected events like when the horizon follows you like a shadow.

Every two days, it's nice to get lost in colours and textures.

Be still! Scanning in progress in your area. Beauty film by Lionel Samain. Make-up & Hair by Mathieu de Mayer. Model is Kiim@Mademoiselle Paris.

Remember that day, when we invented the perfect mirror. The one that will help you to check the hidden face of yourself.

Focus out on this simple question. Easily answered with trigonometry.

Framing is everything, isn't it?

So, don't you think: it is not because you are in a box that there isn’t infinite dimensions?

Before shooting, any idea should experiment its own life, starting by a black ink line meeting the surface of paper.

Future of Beauty

As Woody Allen may have say "I'm interested in the future, for that is where I'm going to spend the rest of my live". Le boudoir numérique, which is a think tank focused on the future of beauty and fashion, asked me to visually contribute to one of their projects.

You'll find more explanations on their website at this address: boudoirnumerique.com. If you are into technology, it's definitevely worth a serious visit.

Here is a first batch of photographs we made with make-up artist Mathieu De Mayer.
