The Evzones
16 December 2005
Still on the Guards series… The Evzones are fantastic, with a surreal costum, a very complicated uniform they wear since 1829 after the victory against the turkish army. The protocole of the change of the guard is amazing. Next step: Italy.

Just back from Kigali, Rwanda
5 December 2005
Just back from Kigali, Rwanda. I was working there for an ONG, for a photographic project whitch will be shown during the olympic games of Turin, Italy in 2006. I worked during a week with a group of children (Umwana) , all orphans, most of them HIV positive. The situation there still makes me trembling all over. The background and the politic situation sounds like a nightmare and doing a photographic series of portraits there can’t be exactly based on the same system. Read more…

The “Guards
4 October 2005
The “Guards” project keeps going with. Last week, at white hall, I was shooting the portraits of the “Blues and Royal” guards, Scotguards and Irish guards. Last year, I already photographed the Grenadier in Wellington Barrack, and the liveguards in White hall. The next shooting will be in Paris in the Garde Republicaine.
