An alternative from urban parks, which are inundated with fellow late weekend dinners thus counteracting their usually relaxing properties (if like me, you frown upon the concept of relaxing in the middle of large crowds).
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.
