Architecture

 Last month, on instagram I did a few days of intense posting around the thema "Architecture"!
Buildings are always a challenge to catch, but I'm never ready to let go.

Do you like that thema as much as me?


Maybe you'll love a bit of context?


This is the Atomium. Atomium is to Belgium, what's Eiffel Tower is to France.
Made for the universal expo of 1958, it represent an Iron crystal mesh (molecule).




This is Brussel's Grand place, every façade of this place evoque a ship front... high commercial place,  they all features their guild arms. It's the symbol of the city.



This is the fort at St-Vincent-les-forts, France. Hence this one have nothing special, it's one of the numberous fort or France. This one started at medieval time and got ameliorated with time. This one, as well a other in the same area, protected the alps both from the Italian and the Provençal invasions.
 

This is Passy's castle, like the fort, it's just one out of many castles of France. And like many, it have been converted in appartements.


This is Vaux-le-Vicompte castle's stables. This prized castle was envied from Versailles.


Vaux-le-Vicomte's garden. As you can see, it's stagged to offer a view on that golden sculpture uphill. The hill is artificial and part of the garden plan.

Versailles. Does that castle need an introduction?

This is Vizille castle, wich was a high place of the french's resistance.

This is Sens' pirory. Well... It's not a castle but still beautiful. Near Passy's castle.

And to finish, le Grand Puy ski ressort... because well... I've worked there this winter.

Wich one do you like best? Would you like to see more Architecture?
Will do another recap on another thema next month for sure!

April Fool (and Happy Easter)

Every year, I crave about easter. Not because I love spring (that's false) but because of the chocolate figures! Ever since I'm a kid, I love to receive molded chocolate, I love to discover what I got (or choose what I will get).
In 2022, I staged a chocolate jump and ever since, I want to do more... This year I choose with love a beautiful easter bell and staged my jump with love!

End of the story? No.
Because it's not the picture I planned to make. To be more precise, everything I wanted is here: chocolate jump, fake ground to looks like an arena, our cherry tree (with the convenient fencing around)... that's truly great except...
I planned to do this picture in real, not in two pictures assembled with photoshop.

If that first part is 100% true:

You might have spot it 👀
Yesterday, there was a raging storm outside here, and I wasn't able to do my easter picture in front of our cherry tree, so I had to do it with photoshop (all by hand with my own skills, no AI involved). I did take the picture of the tree in between two rain shower and I took the rest inside then... the magic 🪄
 
 
That part is an april fool:

What I've learned from that? It was easy (long, but easy) and I plan to only do that kind of picture from now on. Less difficult, more enjoyable 👍
 

...directly inspired by the frustration I feel every time I am not able to have what I want in real. I truly value the fact that my pictures are not fake.
 

Even if I must admit that in the end it was fun and I like thoses two pictures, they are not so bad!
... But I will never stop to do pictures in situ, don't worry!

Waterfall

Last week, on instagram I did a few days of intense posting around the thema "Waterfall"!
I love flowing water, so even if thoses are difficult with modelhorse, I never says "no" to try a picture at such places.

I'm don't like to get wet but I like to get my model wet, something like that...
Do you like that as much as me?


I started this selection with some ethereal pictures of unicorns, then turned into real horses, progressing in color scheme. I really likes this progression.

If you want to see more, you can hit the "photoshooting" button of this blog ;)

Will do another recap on another thema next month for sure!

Mountain

Last week, on instagram I did a few days of intense posting around the thema "Mountain"!
Probably because I've choose to life in the mountains, I can say it's my favorite place to do pictures?

In any case, that's sure that I'll always choose mountain instead of the sea.
Do you like that as much as me?


I'm not gonna list here all the mountains shooting because that's most of what I do, you can hit the "photoshooting" button if you like ;)

Wich one do you like best? Would you like to see more Mountain?
Will do another recap on another thema next month for sure!
