I'm sure you're particularly inspired by a type of location...

Yes, outdoors, in the forests above all.


So ? Your preferences ?

Mostly Black & White, and outdoors because there is a real light with beautiful shadows.


Some words about your models ? Maybe about a shooting that you particularly liked ?

Often my models are my friends. All my shootings are always fun. My favorite was for the Series "Isabelle Forest", a lovely model with beautiful curves.
