Pandham's photostream  

Hi Flickr people, it's been a long time isn't it?
I've always wanted to try something like this, so this is it !
2 days without seeing the sun here in Paris... Autumn's showing no mercy on us.

You guys better get use to that face as it risks to appear often in here.

A lot of people are afraid to be in front of the camera.
It is always a challenge to break that fear, and allow people to be themselves as we, photographers,
do our best to capture their "essence".

God knows how full of unsatisfaction I am deep inside.

Something pretty unusual for me.
I've been hesitating between color and black and white for ages.
I didn't not have that much time to shoot and experiment with the strobist gear I've recently bought,
but here is a little try at mixing some things I really like: scarves, hoods and black and white.

Strobist info for you lighting geeks out there:

En narratologie, c’est un retour sur des événements antérieurs au moment de la narration.
Un autoportrait dans un style plutôt inhabituel.
J'ai longuement hésité entre les deux versions, pour finalement choisir le monochrome.
Je commence à me familiariser au strobisme, c'est plutôt sympa !

Je vous présente un type cool : D'MYS
Nous nous sommes rencontrés grâce à Flickr et à la magie du net.
Ce qui devait être un simple exercice strobist s'est terminé en véritable shooting improvisé.
La photographie aura toujours le dernier mot.
Ah, et au fait, voici mes premiers essais au strobisme !
Grâce (ou à cause) de D'MYS, j'ai commandé du matériel, attendez vous donc à de la nouveauté !

Introducing the cool D'MYS
We met thanks to Flickr and the power of the Internet.
What was supposed to be a strobist tryout ended in a actual and improvised photoshooting.
I guess photography will always have the last word.
Oh, and this is my first attempt at strobist lighting technique,
I've ordered some new gear, so you guys can expect more in the next days.
