15 mars 2018 : shoot UNICEF / Dan Carter in a large studio in Paris.



Two-time Rugby World Cup winner Dan Carter will swap the rugby ball for the football after announcing he will take part in the Soccer Aid for Unicef match on Sunday 10th June.
One of the finest players of his generation, the 112-cap former All Black legend is the highest ever points scorer in international test match rugby.
Dan Carter, Soccer Aid World XI, said: “It took me all of about one second to say yes when I was asked to play in Soccer Aid for Unicef! I can’t wait to get out onto the Old Trafford pitch and support this fantastic cause. The last time I played in front of a big crowd in England I won the Rugby World Cup, so although the shape of the ball will be different this time I am hoping for similar success on Sunday 10th June!”
Who else is playing?
The full line-up is yet to be released, but big stars have signed up including Mo Farah, Usain Bolt, Robbie Williams, Olly Murs and Gordon Ramsay. Over the coming weeks, the England v Soccer Aid World XI team sheets will see some of football’s biggest legends and celebrities join the line-ups.
Soccer Aid has previously featured A-list stars such as Will Ferrell, Woody Harrelson, Mike Myers and Niall Horan, plus footballing royalty including Maradona, Zinedine Zidane, Luis Figo and Ronaldinho.
When is Soccer Aid? And how do I get a ticket?
Soccer Aid is on June 10, 2018 and will be held at Old Trafford in Manchester.
Tickets are on sale now and are priced between £10 and £50.
They are available at www.manutd.com/socceraid or by calling 0161 444 2018 (calls charged at standard geographical rates)
The match will be screened live on ITV.
What does the money raised from Soccer Aid go towards?
All public donations to Soccer Aid will go towards Unicef's work protecting children in the UK and globally.
An incredible £24 million has already been raised through the event over the last 12 years.






Daniel William Carter dit « Dan Carter », né le 5 mars 1982 à Leeston, à une quarantaine de kilomètres de Christchurch, est un joueur néo-zélandais de rugby à XV. Il évolue au poste de demi d'ouverture même s'il peut également jouer en tant que centre.
International All Black depuis 2003, il est considéré comme le meilleur demi d'ouverture de l'histoire de cette équipe. Le 12 juin 2010, il est le quatrième buteur (après Neil Jenkins, Diego Domínguez et Jonny Wilkinson) à passer les 1 000 points inscrits en équipe nationale, après la victoire des All Blacks contre l'Irlande 66 à 28 en test match. Il bat une première fois le record de Wilkinson établi à 1 111 points lors de la victoire néo-zélandaise contre les Springboks à l'occasion de la cinquième rencontre du Tri-nations 2010 totalisant 1 118 points. Il porte finalement son record mondial de points à 1 598 à l'issue de la finale de la Coupe du monde 2015.
Sacré champion du monde en 2011 malgré une blessure en début de compétition qui le conduit à déclarer forfait pour le reste de celle-ci, il dispute l'édition 2015 en Angleterre et remporte la finale face à l'Australie (34-17) où il marque 19 points et où les All Blacks deviennent la première équipe triple championne du monde et la première à conserver le titre. Élu pour la troisième fois joueur de l'année par le World Rugby, il met dans la foulée un terme à sa carrière internationale et rejoint le Racing 92 dans le championnat de France Top 14.

09 novembre 2018 : mon vieux projet de petits feux enfin réalisé, à Soissons chez David Doyhamboure, le roi de la vidéo : Réalisateur - Producteur - Chef opérateur - Monteur. Merci à lui.


Il faut un extincteur, au cas où. Aussi une poubelle peinte en noir, un ring flash, des trucs à bruler, et un espace sans risque ! Le deuxième appareil photo est pour le making of, la lumière continue pour la caméra de David.



1 - Petite poubelle à couvercle, préalablement peinte en noir.
2 - Appareil photo Nikon avec objectif macro Sigma 150 mm.
3 - Ring flash pour éviter les ombres portées.
4 - Flash Nikon SB910 réglé à très faible puissance pour déboucher les ombres sur les objets, sans affecter les flammes.
5 - Lampe continue pour la vidéo de David.
6 - Appareil Nikon et flash pour le making of.
7 - La caméra vidéo de David, en fonctionnement accéléré pour créer des ralentis de grande qualité.
8 - Un truc très lourd pour stabiliser la poubelle.
9 - L'extincteur, au cas où.
10 - Le couvercle de la poubelle qu'on peut replier pour étouffer un feu trop incontrôlable.
11 - Une chaise pour patienter quand cela brûle lentement.
12 - La table avec les trucs à brûler.
13 - Le tuyau d'arrosage, au cas où.

Ne reproduisez pas cela chez vous sans les accessoires de sécurité mentionnés ci-dessus.


Cela peut quand même dégénérer


La table avec les trucs à bruler.


Les bougies et les scintillants, facile !




Les tirages photos brûlent-t-il ?


Oui.

De très vielles allumettes russes, vintages : seul le phosphore brûle très rapidement,
les tiges en bois et la boîte sont déjà bien ignifugées pour cette époque.
Les allumettes de sureté méritent bien leur noms.




Pour symboliser la mort de la photo ?


Les anciens badges brûlent bien aussi !





Les poupées Barbie sont très très bien ignifugées, seuls leurs cheveux brûlent facilement, puis, après, les vêtements.




Paris brûle-t-il ?

EXEMPLE DE PORTRAIT CORPORATE 
Rouleau de fond uni gris neutre. Storm Grey 05 ou Mineral Grey 51.
L’éclairage doit être presque plat et doux avec une légère ombre modélisant pour structurer et donner du volume au visage. Parapluie ou boîte à lumière à droite et nid d’abeille à gauche. Des panneaux sombres de chaque côté du visage permettent de créer des ombres, surtout si les murs de la chambre sont clairs.
Obtenez une expression honnête, agréable et positive.
Maintenir le contact visuel / se concentrer sur les yeux.
Évitez les reflets sur les lunettes. Les éclairages doivent être plus hauts que les yeux. Les montures de lunettes ne doivent pas couvrir les yeux.
Utilisez un objectif portrait (105 mm sur 24 x 36 mm) et conservez une faible profondeur de champ ( F4) pour permettre la mise au point optimale sur les yeux et les traits du visage.
Évitez les postures rigides et anormalement droites, genre debout très droit avec les mains derrière le dos.
Au besoin, utilisez un tabouret pour le sujet.
Laisser votre sujet trouvait une posture qui lui semble naturelle.
Utilisez un tabouret pour vous-même pour être à la hauteur des yeux de votre sujet. Cet exemple montre que le sujet est à l'aise mais toujours en équilibre et engagé. Une inclinaison très douce de la tête, des épaules et du corps font partie d'une pose naturelle.
Toujours demander aux sujets de faire (presque) face à la caméra.
Votre sujet doit porter une tenue adéquate, sans motifs ni formes trop marquantes.
Aucune main ou autre objet ne doit apparaître.

Ansel Adams : “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”


Kristen Scott Thomas










Here are about 620 examples of my photographic event coverage since 1984, that is to say, 30 years. This is without counting those which my clients have requested that I do not show and photos that have been lost.

I know it's enormous.
No, I am not a photographic robot: my mother had me tested



This list begins with the compilations: Fashion & Models, Lingerie, Beauty, Makeup & Hair, Portraits, Events, Objects, Archi & Deco, Industry, Press, Celebrities, etc.



The sensors and web capabilities from 1995 to 2005 were horrible compared to now (2021). 40 KB max by images. My uploads at this time were therefore bad. I replace them little by little. It's long. Thank you for your indulgence.

Conclusion 1: I must not be bad, so that all these people trust me.
I have loyal customers, a sign that they are satisfied with my services. Examples: Tollens, MEDEF, Dior, GMF, Unesco, L'oréal, Anaé, Agefiph, Essilor, Genzyme, Embassy Ireland, The Advertisers Club, Garmin, VW, etc. ...

Conclusion 2: Thanks to all these varied clients (industry, wedding, corporate and personal portraits, press, events, objects, medical, culinary, diving, sports, pageants, etc. ..), I see extraordinary slices of life, confidential or public, trades and fabulous countries. I do feel very privileged. Real life, live. Thank you customers.

In rough estimation, I take 5,000 photos a week. 5,000 x 52 = 260,000 a year. For 35 years = 9,100,000 photos. Well, I would like to reach 10 million anyway!

Conclusion 3: Photography is my language

There is also a search command, not always up to date, but pretty comprehensive on all my reportages.

MY BLOGS


Not many photographers have the courage to show their photos on a daily basis. I do it to show that in a wide range of photography, I always take good photos for my clients. Technical perfection and an obvious sensitivity. If you imagine the logistic necessary for these missions (estimates, preparations, equipment, transports in traffic jams, safety, etc.), you can see that I am a photographer who achieves results in all circumstances.
