In another life.... Street photographer.

In another life I travelled through France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, invited by town halls, festival committees.
I was proud to keep this magnificent profession of street photographer alive.
I settled in the village square by creating my own universe:

Romantic hand-painted studio background, antique photographic camera, collection of period hats and some costumes.


I was dressed in a costume myself, with a little moustache.

People were intrigued, how come it still exists?
After the surprise, they were very easy to play, I saw families, couples, children, even dogs marching by!
People do not pose in front of a camera like in front of a digital camera.
It takes time, I disappear under the sheet to make my focus, it is then necessary to load the film which contains only a photo, attention, we do not move any more, we do not breathe any more, with the one, the two, the three, click.


The photo is taken, it's instant film, time to remove the costumes and it's ready, more than just cutting it the old-fashioned way with an old photographer's cutter and placing it in a beautiful retro pocket.

This unique photo I'm sure will end up on a fireplace or we'll take it out in 10 or 20 years to talk about the good old days.
