The notebook

Notes on light

Shooting notes, written after the fact. The places, the light, the people behind the images. Because a photograph is always the portrait of a shared moment. And because behind every series, there is a model who gave something no retouching can manufacture. Three notebooks, like three chapters of the same story.

I · Notebook · Maastricht, the Netherlands

An open-air studio

The city as a fashion set, thirty minutes from Liège. Notes from an urban editorial with no production.

II · Notebook · Cala d'Or, Mallorca

The light you cannot invent

Ten minutes of scouting, one hour of light. Notes from a late-day shoot on the Mallorcan coast.

III · Notebook · Portrait

What remains

The last series with Andrea, in black and white. What remains when the colour is gone, and what remains after.
