| I do not take anything seriously, except my sens of humour. Some clients even employ me because I am "funny". OK, I can make people laugh and shoot at the right moment. The "missed" pictures are free! Je suis un photographe d'humour, et puis je fais de la mode, pub, événementiel, etc. … pour me décontracter "My work as a portrait photographer is to seduce, entertain and distract". Helmut Newton "He who lives without craziness is not as wise as he thinks." François de la Rochefoucauld". IF YOU LOOSE ONE SENSE, YOUR OTHER SENSES BECOME ENHANCED. THAT'S WHY PEOPLE WITH NO SENSE OF HUMOUR HAVE A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF SELF IMPORTANCE If you don't do stupid things while you're young, you'll have nothing to smile about when you're old.

Le 2 octobre 2022 : Frédérique et moi sommes désormais propriétaires d'une parcelle de terrain en Écosse, près de Glencoe, dans les Highlands écossais, où nous étions allés en 2014.

D'après la loi écossaise, nous devons maintenant être appelés Lord Christian Fournier et Lady Frédérique Gorsky.  A Glencoe en 2014     |

If you loose one sense, your other senses are enhanced. That's why people with no sense of humour have an increased sense of self-importance.

Le 25 juillet 2019 : In the shade : 42°C, in the sun 52°C, felt : 80 °C ! François Bastien : -"La météo donne la température de l’air. La mesure se fait sous abri à l’ombre. En effet si on place le thermomètre au soleil il indique une température qui dépend de la couleur du thermomètre et de son inclinaison. Alors pourquoi de nombreuses personnes s’obstinent-elles à parler de température au soleil alors que cette notion n’a pas de sens précis ? C’est évidemment que la notion de température de l’air ne suffit pas à donner une idée de l’impression subjective des échanges de chaleur entre l’extérieur et le corps de l’observateur. Il faudrait au moins ajouter la vitesse du vent et le flux de radiation issu du soleil. De plus la pondération de ces différents éléments est loin d’être évidente. Autrement dit, on ne sait pas, de façon simple et précise, relier les échanges thermiques ressentis subjectivement aux paramètres de la météorologie." Bastien François, né le 21 août 1961 à Paris, est un homme politique et politologue français. Professeur à l'université Panthéon-Sorbonne, il a dirigé de 2010 à 2015 l'UFR de science politique. Membre d'Europe Écologie Les Verts, il a été conseiller régional d'Ile-de-France de mars 2010 à décembre 2015. Depuis 2017, il est président du conseil de surveillance de la Fondation de l'Écologie politique. Le 24 juillet 2019 :

  Bernoulli Principle, states that the speed of a fluid (air, in this case) determines the amount of pressure that a fluid can exert. It explains the lift, one of the four forces of flight and sailing. Moving air is separated in two flows when encountering an air foil (wing or sail). The top part has a longer path to travel. It reduces it's speed and creates a low pressure. |

 Amazing archeological finds: - In the old days, 35mm Kodak and Fuji photographic films grew on trees. - Famous photographer Christian Fournier did die in action around 1988 in the middle of Del Apache Desert, New Mexico, USA. Photo by Dr Nicole Bordes, then senior science researcher in Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA. |
|||
 More amazing archeological finds: - Famous photographer Christian Fournier was suicidal when separated from above mentioned Dr Nicole Bordes, then senior science researcher in Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA, so the previous above mentioned photo could show a murder or an accident or a suicide. - The rope in the picture suggests that this might have been a set up. So the previous above mentioned photo could habe been a set up too. - This photo might have been taken by Graham Mitch in the quick sands of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, the country just below USA. Did not work out in the end! |

 "Careful or blasé sweeping" photograph by Christian Fournier : a work of art may hide another, Musée d'Orsay, February 3rd 2013, during a Q-Med convention. "L'Origine du Monde" or the "origin of the world" is a famous painting of female nude by Gustave Courbet in 1866. It is a 46 x 55 cm oil on canvas, shown in Musée d'Orsay since 1951. The painting represents the sex and belly of a women lying naked on a bed, legs apart and framed so nothing is shown above the breasts or under the tights. The answer: this guy is wondering whether he prefers my nude on a desert island to Courbet’s. |

 Le rédacteur en chef de PHOTO chez Filipacchi, Eric Colmet Daage et Antoine Schneck, lors de l'exposition "Leur chien", Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature en 2010 Photo, souvent stylisé PHOTO, est un magazine mensuel français consacré à la photographie édité par le groupe EPMA et fondé en 1967. Le magazine traite de la photographie sous tous ses aspects, du photojournalisme, en passant par la mode, la photo d'art, la technique photographique, l'argentique et le numérique. Les sujets de nu artistique sont souvent mis en avant en couverture. Photo est créé en 1967 par Daniel Filipacchi, sur une idée du photojournaliste de Paris Match, Walter Carone. Roger Thérond quitte le magazine pour retourner à Paris Match en 1976 et Photo passe sous la responsabilité d’Éric Colmet-Daâge, qui le fait évoluer. Au début des années 1990, Photo est alors le premier magazine à utiliser la PAO et dès 1995, le site internet est lancé. Éric Colmet-Daâge est à la fois directeur de la rédaction, rédacteur en chef, directeur de la rédaction, directeur artistique et webmaster du magazine. La particularité du magazine, distribué dans 70 pays, est de réaliser plus de la moitié de ses ventes à l'étranger. Antoine Schneck, né le 27 août 1963 à Suresnes, est un photographe français représenté par la galerie parisienne Berthet-Aittouarès. |

| Frédérique et moi-même faisons partie de la gigantesque fresque/vidéo. Pouvez-vous nous trouver ? JR x TIME = GUN CONTROL The Gun Chronicles: A story of America  In association with a special edition of TIME Magazine, artist JR (JR Artist) seeks to facilitate an unbiased and honest conversation about gun control from all sides of the debate through a traveling exhibition, the last stop of which will be at the Dallas Museum of Art. A mural will be presented that combines his portraits of hundreds of individuals, giving a face to the full and complex spectrum of views on guns in America. ABOUT THE PROJECT It’s a truly American story: 325 million people, more than 265 million guns, 35,000 deaths a year, and one 227-year-old constitutional right. To move beyond the familiar, TIME partnered with JR, an artist and photographer known for documenting social issues. In three US cities profoundly affected by guns—Dallas, St. Louis, and Washington, DC—we invited people to share their views, describe their experiences, and search for common ground. We met hunters and activists, teachers and police officers, parents and children. JR photographed 245 people to create this mural for TIME’s November 5, 2018, cover. THE LIVE MURAL JR and his team have created a live mural of each person featured in the project. Individuals were filmed in slow motion interacting with someone else in the mural, creating a living artwork that vividly depicts the issue. Each side of the issue is represented by individuals and groups sharing their stories and visual interactions. On a broader level, the live mural will be projected all around the country and will be made available to the public to use as a tool for gathering communities and creating meaningful dialogue.

| The photographer/fashion model/George Clooney look alike, Christian Fournier, is preparing to pose for an exited crowd during the Paris Fashion Week of October 2015. Christian Fournier shows his fantastic photographer's outfit: black pants, black T-shirt embroidered with the famous logo "prisedevue.photos" and his extraordinary jacket, also black, also embroidered with the logo, fitted with numerous pockets to accommodate various lenses, batteries and power packs. On this jacket is sawn a harness which allows the weight of the luxurious but heavy Nikon D4 and its lens and a flashgun, to be redistributed from the fragile vertebrae to the strong shoulders of the star of photo creation. Thanks to his experience in pedagogy (he started as a maths teacher) the star of photo creation teaches mannequins to walk on a catwalk. Beside, just like electrons in quantum mechanics (which Christian Fournier shrives in), this incredible photographer can be in different places at the same time, as his clients constantly ask him. This amazing photo, make by Christian Fournier himself on a time-lapse, captured the phenomena, a major breakthrough in quantum mechanics and in photography.  |

| Décolleté et Liberté par Emilie Monchovet Sujet d'actualité, sujet de décolleté mais pas seulement. Cela peut en faire rire certains et certaines, cela peut sembler banal ou démesuré, cela peut être agaçant, cela peut saouler. Mais pourquoi ? Pourquoi en arriver là : se faire refuser l'entrée au musée pour son décolleté… Et ce n'est pas la première histoire relayée dans les médias pour ce genre de situation. Alors qu'en penser ? Est-ce un problème lié au corps de la femme ? À la poitrine ? Est-ce un problème de pudeur ? Est-ce un problème d'autorité ? Est-ce un problème de liberté ? À partir du moment où le corps, que ce soit féminin ou masculin, n'est pas indécent vis-à-vis d'autrui, pourquoi est-ce qu'on vient nous emmerder… A quel moment, le décolleté devient gênant, voire vulgaire ? Et vis-à-vis de qui ? La poitrine féminine est par moments sacrée, vulgaire, belle, moche, osée, tabou, sexualisée, envoûtante, aguicheuse, pudique, convoitise. Tout ça à la fois. Une femme ne peut pas s'habiller avec un décolleté. Quand le corps de la femme est publiquement un problème, c'est qu'on a un problème. C'est que notre société a un problème. Ce n'est pas seulement une histoire de décolleté. Nous devons rentrer dans ce moule créé par on ne sait qui. Nous devons être belles mais pas provocantes. Nous devons être sexy mais pas vulgaire. Nous devons être mignonnes mais pas aguicheuse. Nous devons être agréables mais juste ce qu'il faut. Donc ce n'est pas seulement le refus d'un musée, c'est le refus de notre société sur la liberté de nos corps. Et c'est le regard que porte les hommes ET les femmes, sur le corps qui pose problème. Être obligé de choquer ou d'interpeller pour montrer que cette liberté : nous l'avons ! Cacher un bout de seins pour ne pas choquer. Parallèlement à ça, on nous explique que le corps, de la femme et de l'homme, a toujours été un sujet pour les artistes. Que l'Art défend le corps. Oui, super… mais dans la vie de tous les jours, on en parle ??? Est-ce qu'on doit respecter le corps uniquement dans l'art ? Porter une robe sans se faire insulter. Porter une jupe sans se faire agresser. Porter des vêtements moulants sans se faire juger. Porter un décolleté sans se faire refuser l'accès dans un lieu public. |

I see myself in Douglas Adams. In 2016, I went to pay my respects on Douglas Adams grave in Highgate Cemetery, near London. Like Zaphod Beeblebrox, I think my third arm suits me. Zaphod Beeblebrox, President of the Galaxy. Well, just this guy, you know... "Zaphod Beeblebrox, adventurer, ex-hippy, bon vivant, (crook? Most likely), self-taught personal promoter, terribly bad at relationship, often considered completely "absent for lunch ". (From "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Complete Trilogy of the Five (English Edition)" by Douglas Adams) "One of the major difficulties Trillian (his girlfriend, a scientist) encountered in his relationship with Zaphod was to discern: - If he pretended to be stupid just to surprise others, - If he pretended to be stupid because he did not want to get tired thinking and wanted someone else to do it. - If he pretended to be very stupid to hide that he did not understand anything. He was known to be incredibly intelligent and was clearly - but not all the time, which obviously worried him, hence his simulations. He preferred people to be puzzled rather than contemptuous. This seemed to Trillian really stupid, but she could not discuss it anymore.    The true meaning of 42 in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by a Tibetan Budest. The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do' I typed it out. End of story. Douglas Adams (1993) |

| The Fake News from Paris Port Royal: a large bag of "Daim" from Ikea has been found nearly intact in a brand new trash can in a photo studio, apparently it has been there almost a week ! Ikea states that it is impossible and police says : “they are all liars at Port Royal". Ikea paid Nasa for a test onboard the ISS in zero gravity: the "daims" disappeared in less than 24H. American, Russian and Chinese astronauts say they do not understand the phenomenon. An optical anomaly, like internal reflexions inside the port holes, scientists say, made brown stains to appear on the cosmonauts lips. Interviewed, Thomas Pesquet, who lived for 6 months in the ISS, refuses to comment. Hubert Reeves, stated that the entire trilogy of the 5 books by Douglas Adams should be reread with care for an explanation. The French magazine "Que choisir" asked Dr Michel Cymes for a profond study on the hallucinogenic properties of "Daims". The Mossad suggested that the American army asks the most powerful computer on earth, Sunway TaihuLight, which possesses 10,65 millions cores with a power of more than 93 petaflops per second, which has just been delivered in absolute secret by China for Donald Trump, who says he made a mistake, he just wanted to order hamburgers on Internet at Mac Do. Sunway TaihuLight has been assembled by 25 000 Korean children, in one month and 12 days, in semi darkness, no wifi, to keep the secret. After several nanoseconds of reflexion, Sunway TaihuLight answered : 42. Hubert Reeves asked the Koreans, if the month's works was 30 or 31 days. Under torture by Xi Jinping, Hubert Reeves confessed that 30 + 12 = 42. Text by Christian Fournier www.prisedevue.photos |

| The Voyager Golden Records are two phonograph records that were included aboard both Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. The records contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or for future humans, who may find them. Those records are considered as a sort of a time capsule. Although neither Voyager spacecraft is heading toward any particular star, Voyager 1 will pass within 1.6 light-years distance of the star Gliese 445, currently in the constellation Camelopardalis, in about 40,000 years. Carl Sagan noted that "The spacecraft will be encountered and the record played only if there are advanced space-faring civilizations in interstellar space, but the launching of this 'bottle' into the cosmic 'ocean' says something very hopeful about life on this planet." |

Conclusion 1: I must not be bad, so that all these people trust me. 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 |

| ************************* 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.
