Mysterious woman

Accidental Film Noir

Back to school!
The first week of September and in no place where I lived before, the back to school and work seems as an important event as in France. All TV and radio shows are starting a new season with a more or less renewed concept and the relaxed summer feeling makes space for...
Under construction: Blogging about photography for one year
Today is special: this post marks the first anniversary of my blog on street photography! This means several things: I started my discovery of street photography (and more genres down the road) exactly one year ago. Learning about street photography by chance...
Architectural photography in black and white
Throughout my recent posts on this blog, you probably noticed my current leaning toward urban and architectural photography as a genre I like exploring in addition to people-centered street photography. What attracts and sometimes bothers me at the same time in...
