About a month ago I did a fashion photoshoot in a professional studio. It was really an amazing experience…huge thanks to photographer Raphaël Auvray for the opportunity! Also to Les troubadours du Chaos, for the beautiful clothes; to Chloé Collewet and Camille Bodin for being such great models, and to Nicolás Díaz Durana and Aude Mazza for the great help!!

I was hoping to finish these pictures before traveling to Colombia but it was really impossible. I was cought up preparing my presentation for University Jean Moulin Lyon III and I even haven’t had the time to finish my Watermelon series, which I had already announced and hope to finish soon! At the moment I’m packing my bags, and I want to share the images I’ve already finished, before I disappear for several days. Click on the first image to view the slideshow.

Models: Chloé Collewet and Camille Bodin. Clothes: Les troubadours du chaos (link). Studio, lighting and general assistance: Raphaël Auvray. Concept, Makeup, Styling, Photography and Post-Processing: me. Thank you all!!

I plan to write a full report of this photoshoot whenever I get the time. In the meantime, if you’re curious, you can see a complete ‘behind the scenes’ coverage on my Facebook: CLICK. Thanks to Aude and Nicolás for those pics :)

About a month ago I went to Paris to meet Flickr friend Kirsty Mitchell, and deliver a painting (120 x 120 cm acrylic on canvas) she had commissioned at the beginning of this year. I thought I’d share the final result here:

I’d also like to showcase another commission from a dear Flickr friend, Pia Liikala, who I also met in person this year. When we met last April, besides the shots of her I took for the painting, we managed to find some time to pose together for this photo.

Last but not least, next Friday launches the exhibition “Regards Colombiens sur l’art contemporain” (Contemporary Colombian artists), in which I’m participating with 9 paintings, at Galerie Pictura in Bourges, France :]
