A part of Parisian magic...

My favourite places in London

Thinking about UK for me means 2 cities : London & Liverpool...
The first one is a wonderful place to live and hang out... the second is just my "true love" city... I've been in love for Liverpool for decades... and London has had a major impact in my life ....

But, as everyone, I have my favourite places in both cities... Here is the one I love the most in London :

- Kensington Gardens.... Any bench, any squirrel, Peter Pan Statue, walking close to Caroline's Temple... Everything is wonderful to me.

well, that is MY place... The one I feel free, happy and in peace...

London calling..

Yes, Right ! London's calling... London has been, along with Liverpool, my true favourites cities of UK (and probably in the world).. This time, London was sunny and not that cold... Christmas decorations are all around the streets and you can't stop singing along "have yourself a merry little Christmas" or "Jingle Bells"...

Anyhow, London has great places to visit (again and again, and again)....

here are a few I did visit once again.... By the way, if you ever have the opportunity to go, let's pay a visit to The National Gallery exhibition on Da Vinci... It's BRILLIANT !!

Winter's coming ? really ?

Around Christmas time, I always hope for some snow.. It's a perfect subject in photography.. Immaculated snow... Walking in the fresh snow in the first row... feel like you are the unique person on the world... Such a pleasure and a feeling of immensity and peace...

I love that feeling of putting my feet in noone's else footstep !

Whilst waiting for snow, here are the photos I took about snow that I like the most !

Happy ThanksGiving

This is not one of my photos, but I just wanted to celebrate that special day for my very special american friends whom I miss sooooooooo much !!

Would I meet him again ?

I fell in love with this lovely squirrel last september in London, Kensington Gardens... Would I meet him (or a sibling so cute) again this weekend ?

50's made in ItemLiz-ECK !

After a couple of shooting, we decided to make another session much more difficult.... Picking a 50's sex symbol as an inspiration and play it !

So, Alex plays Sophia Loren, Carol Audrey Hepburn, Marine Elizabeth Taylor & Sarah Grace Kelly...
They did a great job and the whole team were soooooo HAPPY of their performance !

Let's be inspired by those amazing girls ! I am sooo proud of "my girls".

Girls on film - Part I

After a few years, we decided at ItemLiz-ECK to enroll new models... Hopefully, we met 3 wonderful and smart girls though my lovely sibling, Alex : Marine & Sarah.
They've been modelling with and for us for a couple of years now, and they are just divine. Getting involved more and more into the pre-fashion shooting preparation, giving ideas, sewing dresses, picking up music, etc..

Here is the very first photos they shot with us...The theme was "Beauty of the 20's"...

Introducting : Alex, Marine, Sarah, along with Carol... and I... as the photographer ! More individual photos later...

Printemps boulevard Haussmann let Karl Lagerfeld & Chanel create the magical world for this Christmas ! It's so amazingly fairy and the musics are so on purpose.. Apart from the UK scene which I adore, I felt in love with the Moscow atmosphere...

Merry Christmas in advance !!

Paris, vitrines de Noël - Part I

Après quelques jours à Paris, toujours aussi agréable, me revoici de retour à la vie "normale"... Quelques escapades à Orsay pour voir la nouvelle galerie des Impressionnistes (Ah, soupirer de bonheur devant Sisley, Corot, Fantin-Lacour, Diaz de la Pena.. mes préférés.... ), l'expo sur la "beauté, morale et volupté dans l'Angleterre d'Oscar Wilde" (divinement anglais ... Whistler ...) l'expo au Louvre sur Alexandre le Grand et la Macédoine (magique ! Ah, la statue du visage d'Alexandre... Quel homme !).... quelques sorties tout à fait détonnantes, des rencontres avec des gens intéressants et passionnants, avec des copines et amis, et direction les vitrines des Galeries Lafayettes et du Printemps, boulevard Haussmann...


Voici les photos de quelques unes des vitrines des Galeries....
