photography


2006

acquired my first photo camera, a Nikon FM2n, and a 100 mm lens:
first camera
shot mainly portraits and tested various films. started street photography with a 50 mm lens.
acquired most of the technical skills (image processing education was a very helpful starting point).
(FM2n is still today my favorite camera, it stuck for so long to my hand that I feel so natural shooting with...)

2007

member of Imag'In photo club in Lyon. first workshops on model photography in studio.
also practicing techniques for outdoor shooting.

2008

tested different compact cameras (Canonet, Revue).
interesting results... but I kept preferring Nikon compact SLRs.

2009

discovered Kodachrome film. color space is for me essential, and this film had outstanding tones.
had the chance to shot it for almost 2 years, until it was discontinued in 2010... I continued with Portra.

2012

my son was born. low activity...

2013

focused on street photography. mainly using Portra for color and Ilford for b&w.

2015

acquired my first digital camera, a Fuji X-E2... for its Classic Chrome film simulation.
although I have never preferred Fuji films, my favorite digital cameras are Fuji, S5 Pro and latest X series. registered as a pro.

2016

new job. low activity... moved to X-Pro2 for the OVF.
