A fisherman on the Canal Saint-Martin (if I remember correctly, this was near Les Quais de Valmy) late one afternoon when I was in Paris a few weeks ago. I’m sure that particular part of Paris must be highly recommended for long walks punctuated by a glass of wine here and there, especially in spring or autumn time.

I’ve been experimenting with very wide perspectives in portraits, integrating the subject into a larger context, for now, mostly urban. It probably goes against all rules of portraiture, especially if viewing on a screen, but I think it could become very interesting once printed in large format.

This one is of fellow photographer JF, and its particularly fitting considering that he’s been working on a very cool project called « Espaces Utilitaires » in which he explores mostly urban areas that we’re constructed to serve one single purpose with little regard for design or aesthetics.
