- little update on 20th feb 07 -

I have known my taste for photography for the last 20 years, but I actually began to turn this taste into a passion in 1998, during my "college" ('grande ecole' in French) time.

I particularly like a naturalistic approach of photography. No models, no posing, no added light. Just the purity of the instant, of what things really were. I am not fond of post-processing, although I must admit it does enhance the pics sometimes. I would only use it to correct wrongly taken picture, in order to restore the feeling of reality that is occasionnaly lost.

I live in Paris, France, an endless source of inspiration !

My cameras: Canon EOS 20D; Konica KD-500Z (point and shoot); Minolta X500 (old film camera) and Canon FTQL (quite old film camera).

My lenses for the 20D: Canon EFS 10-22 USM f3.5-4.5; Tamron 28-75 f2.8 XR Di LD IF; Tamron 18-200 f3.5-6.3 XR Di2 LD Asph IF; Canon EF 70-200 L f4 USM (non-IS, sadly); Canon EF 100-400 f4.5-5.6 L IS USM and the latest (but not the worse !) Canon EF 24-105 f4 L IS USM. I recently (feb-07) bought a EF 135 f2.8 softfocus, but have not used it very much yet.
I also own the BG-E2 grip and the EX-580 flash.
