Laure Lochet

today is the birthday of my little fairy named Laure. I perfectly remember the first seconds of our meeting when I've met her last year : her Lolita beauty, her scared eyes, her style, she held a beautiful umbrella, her face half hidden under her long blond hair... the road was long since then, for her and for me.

this is our third shooting together and more we shoot more I fall in love with this girl.
her fragility is her strength. she is a very enigmatic girl. her talent is obvious and I believe in her with all my heart, can't wait to see her on a big screen !

Lou Gala

each time an artist write me down saying that my pictures touch her/him and she/he is willing to pose for me, my heart skips a bit. even more when I see something special in them...

Lou gave me a rendez-vous near the place I used to live in and loved with all my heart, but had to leave very suddenly. so it was very nostalgic for me, find myself there in the morning at a cafe knowing that I don't live here any longer. and then she passed the door and all my thoughts about the past evaporated...

from the very first second we felt very comfortable with each other. despite her age she is one of the most intelligent and adequate teenagers (and let's be honest adults too) I know, you don't have that feeling that you are talking to a child. she is an actress and she also sings with her dad ! her parents are very supportive in her career, which is pretty rare in the case of artists.
we talked about everything and nothing drinking our tea and then we went to the park I knew so well but never did a single shooting out there.
Lou has that pure kind of beauty that the actress Alexis Bledel also has and she made me think about her while I was shooting : white skin, dark hair ant those gorgeous huge blue eyes. and it's funny because I immediately felt that I want to shoot her in a strange dark spooky kind of ambiance one day.
I know that our paths crossed for a reason and hope we will work together very often.

Nelli Tsay

we've spend with Nelli Tsay a huge amount of weeks willing to meet with each other and work together. she saw my pictures, I saw her face, but we were too shy, I guess, to make a first step towards one another.
and then she commented on one of my pictures, I responded and very quickly we set the date.
Nelli is a big traveller, she is a very hard to catch kind of girl. I don't remember how but we managed to find one hour in between her flights to make a mini-shoot and drink a coffee together.
my expectations were approved when I saw her. gorgeous exotic girl, very sensual, stylish and photogenic.
around the coffee she told me about her acting career that started pretty early back in Saint Petersburg and pursued all around the world, and that she is always on the run between different projects in different countries and how she is loving it.
Nelli is a very strong and determined person, she knows where she is going and makes everything that is in her power to get there, no excuses, no self-pity. I can learn a lot from her and I know I need more people like this around me in order to progress and build the confidence in myself and in my work.
we also share the same kind of believes and sensitivity towards life with Nelli. my only regret is that we didn't had a lot of time for shooting and for talking. but I know we will see each other very soon...

Morgane Housset

"malheureusement il y a des gens qui veulent faire ce métier pour des mauvaises raisons"

we started to talk with Morgane even before she was part of Venin agency. I liked this girl immediately, there was something special about her, then I saw her videos and understood why...

we've met few days ago, it was a sunny but cold morning. "I trust you completely" - she said, when I started asking her to take some weird poses.
she is not a usual kind of girl, her experiences forged a very strong character.
she felt in love with acting very young, but she discovered it by accident, because of love for a boy. her love for a boy didn't last but THE love for acting is inked now. we never know why we choose the painful experiences, but what I'm sure about is that it leads us somewhere else for a reason.

"I don't like the pictures of myself" - she said
"but how can you see yourself on screen then ?" - I asked
"well it's not the same. on screen it's not me but a character I'm playing" - answered Morgane. I never thought about this, but it makes total sense.

She likes dark characters and often play those. more the role is complex more she is attracted to it. it's that love for the dark side that I felt in her videos and that I completely share with her.
