Commandment 10 : the great secret of the eternal beauty is…


Chapter I : Camille, Fanny, Isadora & Faustine

WARNING :

The novel photo that I’ll tell you I feel particularly close to my heart for 2 reasons.

Firstly because I finally found the time to tell you my meetings and not just post pictures. Write my meetings can make you feel better my emotions experienced and especially the generosity of people who agreed to be photographed by me. It is important to me that you appreciate these persons because without them, no pictures. There are many more photos of the same people but it is desired because it allows you to better know them and therefore recognize yourselves.

beautiful mom are so stylish in Paris

This novel photo is also very important for me because I’ll prove that the external beauty can only exist if the person is beautiful inside. The style is that the garment of personality. Without personality, style looks fake and does lure nobody. The pictures that follow are carried out without rigging, without artificial light, without mega camera, without a team around me to help me. No, the photos that will follow, like all the pictures of my blog are not « worked » like in magazins. They are just the faces of real life, your life. And you’ll see that the real faces are always beautiful when beauty is inner. I am proud to present the angels who brightened my weekend.

This weekend you have known me quite nervous because of the stealing of my photos (150 +) I might be born July the 4th (lol) in the morning and run the 100m in less than 2 minutes, I had the morale a little bit « grrrrrr ». In short, what to do in this situation? Suicide myself with Big mac? Sign American idol ? Becoming a Mormon?

No no no darling. The answer was right before my eyes: you! I just read you to raise my spirit and decide myself to dress my cape of Zorro, to ride my faithful war horse (underground) to meet happiness, that I called the angels. But my angels are special: we can see, touch, talk to them. These angels, they are there around us, ready to smile you, to provide the care, listening and even the consideration and love. And the more you meet stupid people, petty people who try to undermine the spirit, the more you will have the opportunity to meet with angels. Just open your heart and generate positive energy because it is this positive energy that attracts the angels, as 2 magnets are invariably attracted to one another, just as 2 people made for each other always end up together … Some and some of you can testify.

After reading your comments, your encouragement, I have drawn in your faith in me and your respect for my work and my values to find this positive energy, radiation. I brushed my teeth and went out happy. My mission: find the beautiful style side at the fashion boutique Colette on this sunny saturday.

I go out of Metro Opera. I am to cross the boulevard des Capucines to join the Vendômes place when all of a sudden, I see a band of merry friends crossing the street in my direction. 13-14 years. In the band I noticed a nice blue combination. My brain start to thing ate at the light speed: photo or no photo? But I hear laughter and see beautiful smiles. They radiating joy of living. I am instantly seduced: no matter Colette and pretty styles, I am sure we can make beautiful photos full of joy and good humour with these ladies. I decided to stop hoping that they do not take me for a pervert. They are so young. Fortunately I have with me my business cards and my camera in which I keep many pictures that I show at every opportunity to reassure if necessary. I ask the nice lady with the nice blue outfit if I can shoot her style. Her friends are all happy for her. And me when I see it, I am so pleased.

Me: You know what girls, I will also take you for a photo gallery of friendship. Would you like?

The ladies explode with joy. I propose them to move cross in order to place them in front of the Opera. Making pictures in Paris, provides opportunities to show you beautiful monuments of our capital. And then the picture will be even more beautiful.

Moi: I will make a first test for light and find the right framework. You can talk during this time.

But what they do not know is that it’s an excuse to take them as they are natural. And here I attend the largest gathering mode every time: « Hey girls! What poses can we do? » Adorable. CLICK!

They are not girls but princesses that God sends me. Except that the sun slap on the side and that makes them nasty shadows. I decide to change places. We crosses to join another promontory. Lynx’s eye that I’m notice the obelisk of Place Vendome. Perfect. I’ll put it in the middle of the picture.

Moi: super! The light is better. Alright princesses, are you able to do what you did again ?

They: we will do it even better.

Me: I only believe what I see. So attention 3 … 2 … 1! CLICK!

Moi: (teasing provocative) but what these runway model faces !They burst out laughing. So much the better, that’s what I wanted to provoke. Happiness is the best source of beauty.

It does not need more so that friends will tease each other. Their complicity is wonderful, transforming their contortion into moments of pure happiness for the amateur photographer than I am.

I shoot, shoot and reshoot nothing to miss this moment of life, these judgments on image, these judgments on happiness. I shot and reshoote to also offer them pretty souvenir photos. In 10 years they will look with joy and remember how they amusées that day.

The concept: you jump in the air! Haha. Except that you Fanny, as you have a face full of expression, you will not jump, you are going to be an expression of surprise. And you Camille, you jump very high. ok for you ?

Girls: super. It goes well laugh.
