This photos was taken during an evening with friends photographers, Amélie came to play the models with two other young women this evening there.

2. What inspired you to take the shot?

This photo was taken uninspired particular, the session was a little improvised. I am inspired many of the work of the photographers which I admire the work and the light as Peter Lindbergh and Peter Coulson. This evening there, my friends photographers Yann Ronxin, Yann Fauchier, Olivier Martin and myself tested our setup light to deepen them during prepared sessions. I just managed the model in its position of body, charm and Amélie’s natural beaté made the rest.

The camera used for this shot was a canon eos 700d with a 50mm 1.4 lens, the flash was a Elinchrom RX1 with a octobox 120cm, i used a reflector on Amélie’s knees too.

I open my raw with LR, correcting basic assets then i work in Photoshop for retouching. My Black and White is made with SIlver Efex.

5. How does this piece reflect you as an artist?

This piece doesn’t reflect me as an artist, i am not an artist, i’m just a lucky man with very good friends, pretty models and sometimes, not everytime but sometimes, i make a good photo
