about [ abandon ]
[ HOLE II ] [ abandon ] is my most expensive shooting to date. I had to go to Brussels, to rent an hotel room and to pay the model (first time ever).
I did all this because of the model. Because I knew exactly what I wanted to do (pornography) and she was the only model I found on the internet with the style and the mind to do it. And I searched a lot for a long time. So I went to Brussels from Paris to do the shooting.That was a risk for me because I did'nt meet the model before the shooting (as I ALWAYS do).
I did the shooting on september 2006. Almost 2 years after [ HOLE II ]. The reason is I almost quitted photography in 2005. No envy. No good models.
I did some shootings in 2006 (one in fact). So when I planned [ HOLE II ] I had the chance to really think about it. It was really a "cerebral shooting". I mean everything was planned.
It was about pornography. But I didn't wanted to do pornography. I wanted to do Natacha Merrit, Roy Stuart, Nan Goldin. I wanted to proove to the world and to myself I can do pornography with the same quality as my previous work.
It was really pretentious in a way but I said [ HOLE ] is about private boundaries.
And it was a personal messages to some people who fucked up my life. I had nothing to loose. It was an abandon of who I tried to be for them.

" HOLE " ?!?
So. Why "HOLE" ?
Well, first of all, when I say my inspiration is Nan Goldin's work or Lynch's work it's true but it's not all the truth.
Music is my first inspiration.
When I first started photography I knew NOTHING about photography (except may be Sarah Moon's work...). All I knew about photography was on CD covers. So basicly photography and music are linked for me. Maybe it's why I love Nan Goldin's work too. Because of her "sideshows".
Anyway, some musical artist influenced me A LOT.
It's Jon Crosby/VAST.
I REALLY DIG his music and it's such an inspiration for me.
I'm listening to his music right now.
One of his song is named "DIRTY HOLE" (here we are !) and it influenced me. I kinda like the symbolism of the hole. The void. The emptiness. And of course the sexual symbolism.
Here are the lyrics. I'll post more about about Jon Crosby because I have so much to say. If you don't know the man and his work, run to the myspace page.

i saw the grave stones
i saw nine year old boys
somehow i knew
they hated me
you can live as long as
you want to live
lately all i want is to be
in you hole
sleep without a dream
as cold as it seems
its my destiny
how many men have been
in your sacred hole
(how many dead men god?)
as i spread her thighs
my life flashes
before my eyes
soothing, disturbing
i'm intoxicated with fear
how many men have died?
in your dirty hole
how many men lay dead
from this killing hole
