<p><strong>WHY POLAROID?</strong></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/549469/img20181011_14035654-1539260263-1539341672-1539958871.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>I always wanted to become a photographer, it was a bit like a dream that seemed inaccessible to me. I realize today that all this time I was unconsciously looking for ways to find my own path. Then, a little over 5 months ago, I spent a sleepless night understanding and conceptualizing what would become my photo project. &nbsp;So I decided to work with Polaroid. The snapshot suits me perfectly: you never really know what to expect in terms of the result, you must let accidents happen, you can not retouch the photos ... the instinct plays a great role in taking Polaroid, and you have to learn not to control everything.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>&quot;DES HISTOIRES DANS LA PEAU&quot;</strong></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/549472/20181010_001332-1539959240.png" width="100%" /><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/549473/img20181010_16450783-1539959268.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>I think that if this <strong>click </strong>happened at that moment, it&#39;s because I needed to reconnect with the human being, to come out of a certain lethargy, a period of withdrawal into myself. That&#39;s why I started with the series &quot;Stories in the skin&quot;: I wanted to ask people to tell me their story, big or small, powerful or light, sad or happy, beautiful or ugly. ..I meet these people, I take pictures, I give them the freedom to write their story as they see fit. I meet these people. In France, in Europe, soon in the United States and elsewhere ... &nbsp;The photography is also a way to keep track of this moment, to let it vanish, but not without a memory.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>&quot;JOUISSANCES&quot; </strong></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/549475/img20181005_13544728-1539341861-1539959461.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>In doing so, the themes have multiplied. Some clich&eacute;s, some stories have become a means of chanting something ... feminism, bodypositiveness, self-acceptance, of all bodies, the rejection of all the shackles and diktats of our society. &nbsp;I wanted to go further by thinking of another series called &quot;Jouissances&quot;. To push the limits, fight taboos. Taboos on the nude, on the pleasure, and especially the feminine pleasure. I did not expect to experience moments as intense as those I have lived with the people who followed me in this project. Trust, abandonment, the unknown ...</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>&quot;BOOKS&quot;</strong></p> <p>I decided to share all these moments with you, all these images, all these stories. And in many ways! From the beginning I had plans to publish books of my series. These books will be published next March in partnership with nhudesmagazine (http://www.nhudesmag.com)! I chose to collaborate with them because their works are really beautiful, and show a certain artistic sense.</p> <p>The book &quot;Stories in the skin&quot; will be presented with several chapters, corresponding to different themes: moles / freckles, tattoos / piercings / bodmods, scars / marks, curves, love, the senses , bodies etc. &nbsp;</p> <p>The book &quot;Jouissances&quot; will offer a selection of the most beautiful pictures taken with these beautiful people who trusted me. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>BECOME MECENES!</strong> &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;Polaroid photography is quite rare in the world of photography and for a good reason: the price of films is exceptionally high (nearly &euro; 3 for each photo ...). Since I started, I took a lot of photos and I realized that if I wanted to continue, I would have to find sponsors. This is where you come in! &nbsp;By participating in this funding, you will allow me to continue to buy my Polaroid films, buy a new camera that allows shooting closer to the subject (essential for this type of project), and so to continue to take new photos for my existing or future series ! In return, I offer you reproductions of my Polaroid, but also some original taken for the occasion (they will be unique for each patron). You can also order the books &quot;Stories in the skin&quot; and &quot;Jouissances&quot;. Both in A5 format, and in very limited quantities. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The counterparties will be sent to you at the end of the collection, except for the 2 books that will be published in March 2019! &nbsp;</p> <p>I thank you in advance for your support, and hope to meet you at one of the next exhibitions that I will do with these polaroids (Tours, Paris from October 25 to November 8, Limoges in November, or in the U.S.in april/may ...)!</p>
