Wedding at the Dubai polo Ranch

high end dubai wedding photographer, middle east wedding photographer Just returned from Dubai - Photographed a wedding at the Dubai Polo Ranch. It is nice to be back in Paris as it seems that finally Spring is here! I will post a slideshow later on during the week.
For now, I am just going to relax and catch up with family, may be even linger out on a terrace with friends later on.
Meanwhile a comment on photography and Style. The style of a photo is the photographer- the photographer's instinct. I see myself in every shot I have ever taken. It is my own personal world. Feel blessed, I love what I do !

Black and White portraits with Rolleiflex


Just a few images taken with my Rolleiflex, the old fashion way ! I had to wait a week to get the film back and scanned but it is hard to do without it! Irvin Penn used it for many years as well as Avadon, Diane Arbus, Cecil Beaton, David Bailey, Bruce Weber
and many other great photographers whose work I love so much!

Picasso, father and son

Easter week end, some sun in Antibes: father and son Pierre. Rare at the times where i have a photo taken with my son actually. It just so happen that I am usually the one behind the camera snapping away, photographing Pierre and his Mum. So for once, here is a family picture rather, taken at the entrance of the new Picasso museum in Antibes!
Happy Easter to all ...

Weddings chinese style


I have just read a funny article on the booming wedding industry in China. In the photo, Veteran wedding host Wang Zanghong promotes his traditional Chinese-style wedding service at the Beijing Wedding Expo last week. I would LOVE to work with Mr Wang. Red is my favorite color ! And he seems like a lot of fun. Meanwhile, more than 10 million Chinese couples marry annually, spending hundreds of billions of dollars in the process. For a little morning giggle, here is the article on weddings in China

Wedding Flush album in Red


Here is a sample flush album serie 10x8 format size. The photos are printed flush to the Page.

Place de la Concorde

There has been so many photos taken Place de la Concorde by Tourist and many
professional photographers
. I myself have a tendency to propose to my brides or Clients that wish to have some portraits taken in the streets of Paris to make Place de la Concorde one of the shooting location. It is just a great spot, make sure you get there an hour before sun set, you will then get the most beautiful light. The alternative would be to head down to the square early morning before the Parisians wake up and traffic begins. Then you might have to struggle with a few vespas, bikes and diverse mean of transportation on 4 wheels.
