Hi there ! We’re back from Berlin where we had an exceptional time in family. Berlin is a fantastic city for kids, with parks everywhere, lakes and beaches … Chloé and Simon really appreciated – we did some bike, we chilled out at the beach, we went to the zoo, we walked in the forest, we took trains and the tube. Everything was such an excitement for them 🙂 For us, parents, it was exciting to see the changes Berlin made in 10 years. It was great to enjoy nice places we loved when we were students … one of them being the Sony Center. Here is an image I managed to “steal” from the guards 😉
In the coming 2 months I will be extremely busy: 4 weddings, 2 family photo sessions, 1 photo shoot with a music band (hard-rock) and 3 corporate portrait sessions ! That’s quite a lot of work for the coming weeks 🙂
However, don’t hesitate to contact me should you have any question or should you want to have a photo session with me. I would be glad to advise you and plan this with you 😉
10 years after my Master degree in Finance that I finished in Berlin, we are heading back to Berlin for a week ! I am very excited as Berlin is one of my favorite city in Europe. It’s a lively city, where you can feel history beating, where everything exists in double due to split in 2 zones, where you have forests and lakes in the city centre, where you can see the influences from Eastern Europe, from the French, English and American zones … It’s a city of artists, where more than hundred of different nationalities live together, it’s a city for students with great and famous universities, it’s a city of architecture where classical buildings and extremely modern ones are perfectly mixed together (10 years ago, Berlin was the largest construction area in Europe !) … well, you guess it, I’m in love with Berlin, and I’m so happy to go back there with Diane and the kids 🙂
In the summer 2008 I had my first commissioned wedding in Belgium. Anne and Franck got a wonderful and unique wedding with splendid animation, venue and organization. Indeed, Franck is a wedding planner and he chose the best quality for his own wedding ! It really was a great and unique show to admire all the artists he invited: oriental dancers, street fire artists … I was very glad to share their love, happiness and emotions during this fantastic day. And I’m very happy now to be a friend of them 🙂
During this Easter break we went at my parents’ place. We had a very nice time in family. I brought my small Canon G11 with me to take some images of the kids hunting for eggs … Finally, I didn’t use it a lot and took more time playing with the kids rather than taking pictures of them 😉 However, during the afternoon, I felt like I had to make some images and inspiration grew in me: good light through large white curtains, african decorations and awls (my mum likes them a lot 😉 ). I decided to take images of silhouettes against the light. I had to select a wide aperture, spot metering and macro options. Here are some results (quite good with a small point and shoot camera):
We wish you all a very happy Easter and a great Easter break.
Here in Luxembourg we have a rainy day today 😦 Therefore I have to put another image, of 2008, when we had snow for the egg hunting in the garden 😉
Last summer I had a very nice modeling session with my friend and colleague, Coralie. Coralie is a 24 year-old financial reporting analyst at Lombard in Luxembourg. She has a bright smile, wonderful eyes and a very positive attitude.
When I heard she already took some pictures with an amateur photographer, I asked her whether she would like to become a model of mine … and she accepted 😉 Below you will see some images of this photo session, which took place in the forest, during a sunny day. I picked up this place to play around light with reflectors – the place in the forest was rather dark with some sun rays coming in.
