je préfère généralement rencontrer les gens avant de passer a la prise de vue, ce premier contact est très important pour moi, il est toujours difficile de réaliser de bonnes images quand le courant ne passe pas, le portrait est pour moi un réel échange entre le photographe et son modèle, si cet échange n'est pas présent cela se ressentira dans l'image. Stephane Jobert contacted me to make some portraits in order to integrate them into its new site that is currently in preparation, we briefly discussed his expectations in terms of image, I usually prefer to meet people before taking a decision of view, this first contact is very important to me, it is always difficult to make good pictures when the current does not pass, the picture is for me a real exchange between the photographer and his model, if the exchange is not now it shows in the picture.

"Thirty years, the host, producer and voiceover has fifteen years of radio and television behind him. In 1988 he settled on the island of Reunion, where he joined various stations. In 1995 he moved to the screen on RFO. In 2000, he has every night live "Maxi-Muzik" and "Duel of clips." He co-hosts as many nights event ("Grammy Awards"). It performs well in a feat Eve to take 6 hours of direct. TF1 and hiring for "Tac O Tac TV" where he remained two years. His television news: towards Belgium, where twice a week he plays the famous "Loto" which 28 years was served by a single voice. Since 2004, he combines the entertainment: Radio France, M6 Boutique, and recently the M6 on Saturday morning "It is urgent to please"

The goal was to have images, bright, colorful, fresh, "smiling outside," (a TV host who draws the mouth it goes well, and having spent the afternoon with Stephen that smile is the well).

Sofitel situé place Jourdan a Bruxelles, coup de bol la chambre était baignée par une lumière diffusée par de grand rideaux blancs. I had an appointment in hotel Sofitel on Place Jourdan in Brussels, stroke of luck the room was bathed in light scattered by a large white curtains. utilisé deux objectifs pour ces prises de vue, le 50mm et le 85 mm tous deux a 1.6 avec comme d'habitude une mesure spot sur le visage avec une compensation de +0.7. The light was plentiful and beautifully aired which allowed me to stay a comfortable 1 / 125 to 100 iso, I used two goals for these shots, the 50mm and 85 mm, both as a 1.6 with d usual spot metering on the face with a compensation of +0.7.

. The grand opening allowed me to get a blurred background rather homogeneous, to enrich the background a bit I turned on the bedside lamp which gives me a nice mix of temperatures.

It has also benefited from the interior of the hotel to do some shooting, working in natural light offers the advantage of direct visualization of the résulat the naked eye without regard to technical constraints.

flash ( un SB 800 réfléchit sur un parapluie ) mais je suis peu convaincu de ces prises. We tried a few photos in a subway station with a graph in the background and lighting 100% flash (an SB 800 reflects on an umbrella) but I am not convinced of these jacks.

As usual I have treated my RAW with Capture One, with adjustable contrast, white balance and saturation with export in sRGB for display on the site.

nous avions en tête en terme d'image. In the end I'm pretty satisfied with this session, Stephane was really cool and it shows in the images, photographically speaking, it is very clean and very true to what we had in mind in terms of image. I personally remember this picture for its authentic side.
