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 :)

These last three are more like outtakes:

Model: Belladonna Friis.

I still have to finish editing the watermelon pics I mentioned in the last post, taken the same weekend of Bella’s shooting. Aaaand…last Friday I had an awesome photoshoot in a profesional studio, with a Phase One camera, two beautiful models and amazing clothes from a local store. I have several hours of post-processing ahead!

Some of you may have seen a preview of this shooting through my Facebook page. The same weekend I went to deliver Kirsty’s painting in Paris, I also had two scheduled photo shoots: 1) With Clara Garrido, a close friend from Colombia -who’s served as a model in a couple of my paintings and photographs- including the most expensive watermelon I’ve ever bought (20 euros!!)…you’ll get to see those soon, hopefully! 2) With Belladonna Friis, fashion model working in Paris.

Here’s the first part of my work with Belladonna:

These 6 photos are certainly not the most glamorous because, although fashion was intended to be the main thing, I was trying to keep everything within my personal artistic universe. Bella was great to work with, very creative and enthusiastic, aside from being a beautiful and great model. These are definitely some of my favorites from the shooting. The last B&W picture showcases two of her paintings in the background.

After the ‘domestic’ scenes we passed on to a more ‘fashionistic’ atmosphere. At the end of the session Bella ended up taking a bath with her clothes on! Stay tuned for the rest!
