New french weblog


Concerns my french weblog. If you can't understand french, skip to next paragraph :)

J'avais arrêté mon blog car je n'avais strictement rien à y raconter, à part publier des photos qui sont déjà partout ailleurs sur le web (ici, flickr...). Donc pas besoin d'un doublon.

Après discussion avec amis, visite de blogs photos, et le shooting avec =Breizhbleiz avant hier, je me suis dit que ça pourrait être un moyen sympa de relater mes expériences, et d'augmenter ma visibilité en France (ouais, je vais ptet passer semi-pro ou autre. Si j';peux me faire plaisir et gagner quelques sous, je vais pas me priver hein!).

Après deux jours de recherche, réinstallation de wordpress, de thèmes et de plugins à n'en plus finir, de personnalisation de thème, de prise de tête avec du code moche (mal écrit, dupliqué... bref l'enfer), mon blog revient à la vie: -> [link]

Le but est d'y raconter mes idées, mes process, mes shootings, etc, plus une page de portfolio que je suis en train de mettre en place.


At the Seine, during Fall


Today I did another photoshoot, this time with Adeline (=Breizhbleiz) as model. Funny that all my models are photographers that I convinced to move on the other side of the lense :)

The weather was quite better today, the sun wasn't playing hide & seek, and the temperature was very bearable (well Amandine might think otherwise, she wasn't wearing a coat like me :P).

Here the result of our work:



Please tell me wich ones are your favorites. I'm building a portfolio, so I could use some external advice to choose my best shots.

Thank you again Adeline for the lovely time we had.

Introduction to controlled light photography


As you might have noticed, I've set up a pool on wheter you are interested in a photography workshop for next Parisian deviantMeet (*DeviantMEET-Paris).

Here's a rough outline of my talk:

  • Specificities and advantages of controlled light photography, with focus on off-camera flash, à la Strobist

  • Gear needed (and not needed :) )

  • Demo (Hopefully I'll have access to a video projector at the Dune)

  • Q&A

  • Then I'll lend my lighting gear so you can try by yourselves



Bear in mind that it won't be a course, I don't have the experience for that (I've been a strobist for only a few months), but I want to give you a glimpse of the possibilities offered by off-camera flash , and share my enthusiasm for creative lighting. I don't know the exact length of the workshop yet, but I don't want it to be too long (1h?). It will be based on David Hobby's (mr. Strobist) seminar and his Lighting 101 course ([link]).

Feature Chain

I've been entangled into this "whoring for attention" chain :P

So here it goes:

I was featured by :iconerrtistdeep: and so I'm keeping the feature chain. The first slot is reserved for ~errtistdeep. So there are 14 slots left to grab :)

Rules:
# 1) For each of the 14 first people answering this journal I will put his/her avatar and link the three deviations I like from his/her gallery on the list.

# 2) If you answer, you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first place, completing this way the list with 15 people.

So if you want a feature post here and don't forget to check those artists pages and works!!

deviantID

My name is Joël, i'm French, and I'm a digital artist, a photographer, and a Computer Science Engineer :)

I've been drawing since childhood, but not that seriously. Everything really started in January 2008 when I bought my first pen tablet, and I started digital painting.

In july 08 I went to Australia for my studies, and I bought a my first camera. I've been crazy about photography ever since!

In both mediums, I focus on human beings, trying to capture the model expression, feelings or relation to his/her environement, whether it's a candid street photography, a posed and prepared photography or painting, or a totally fictionnal and surreal painting.

Thanks for the nice words :P

And you're welcome ^^ For a newbie you're starting well :) Keep working and experimenting! There are a lot of inspiring artist on dA to learn from!

I kinda feel like a beginner myself, I've been doing photography for a year now, but I started to work with models and lighting only a few months ago :)

Really nice galery, too bad that there is not more b&w.
Hope you'll continue to post those amazing shots
:iconzhang-zheng:
Merci. Pour l'instant le N&B ne fait pas trop partie de mon univers graphique, et ne correspond pas à l'ambiance que je veux pour mes photos :) Pour un prochain shooting peut être.

Ah un français avec un aussi grand talent ça fait plaisir :)
Même sans noir et blanc (c'était très personnel, le noir étant ma couleur favorite) tes photos reste très intéressantes d'une part et très réussies d'autre part. Le portrait humain reprend de sa splendeur grâce à toi.
Encore une fois, bravo

Ps : j'ai d'autre part lu quelques unes de tes critiques qui sont ma fois fort bien construite et très justes
