South story : Cimiez, Nice

last summer we've spend few days with the photographer Charity Thomas in the South of France, visiting and taking pictures of each other all the time. I would love to do this more often : discover new places and make pictures of an unique moment... here comes the first part of our trip.

all the pictures are by Charity Thomas and me

thanks to my friend Nonna for the gorgeous white and blue dress that I'm wearing ;)

resolutions

my resolutions for this year are next : 

• no more destructive relationships, I had enough and it doesn't worth it.
• make steady steps toward my dreams in any circumstances, no more self-pity.
• start to love myself.

I don't know which one is the hardest, but it shows one thing : a problem with "my own me". I have to accept the way I am from A to Z or change the things that are changeable and move on.

I heard few times that the good way to see who you are is to look at yourself from aside, as a friend would do. I think it is a very good idea and I'll try to use it !

and the other thing people told me is that the good therapy is regularly take the auto-portraits. actually it's how I started making pictures when I was a teenager, but I dropped it because it was too painful to see all those flaws in my face and my body. 

I, now, understand how important it is to find inner-peace and gain the confidence. even though I know it will not be easy, I'll try my best.

I am blessed having my passion as work, my only problem is organization. I am easily distracted and when I loose my concentration it's pretty hard for me to get back to the good rhythm of work, that's why I dont' have a lot of time for personal projects, I always privilege clients. 

but from time to time I feel the need doing things just for me, without any particular goal ! 

this shoot is one for the soul, was made in a very transitional period of my life. the model is my close friend who bravely endured the cold, thank you babe ♥
