VAST - you're too young
Every shooting is inspired by songs and music. And I want to use every opportunity to talk about Jon Crosby/VAST. He's my number one inspiration. Love the man. Love the work. If you don't know about VAST I beg you to listen to it.
One of his song was a BIG influence for this shooting. If you hear the lyrics you'll understand why. The girl was 17 and I was 33 by the way...
It's after two
And I am all alone
she appears
She says she'll get me home
We end up lost
Inside a suburban maze
And then she says her house is on the way
I should leave
It's time to go back home now
I should leave
You're too young for me
She has a man
She says he's just a boy
And she won't bite
Unless it brings me joy
I don't know where all the time has gone
I don't know where all the years have gone
I should leave
Put your clothes back on now
I should leave
You're too young for me
I should leave
It's time to go back home now
I should leave
You're too young for me
You're too young for me
You're too young

[ nymphose ] part 6
By the way why "nymphose" ? Nothing to do with "nympho" you perverts. Even...
It's about losing innocence. Growing up. Transformation. The butterfly, yada yada yada...
It's the story about the filling of emptiness.
I was obsessed about emptiness. How can you feel something that by essence doesn't exist ? How the void can be a presence ? How something that doesn't exist can create something : feelings, actions, changes...
So she's alone. He or she never came. She is all by herself. Nobody to talk to. No one else to see. Nothing but the void. And the void changed her.
She's passing from girl to woman.
Okay maybe there's some reference to sex in the title. But, hey, that's private matter !

[ nymphose ] part 3
[ nymphose ] was shot in may 2007. During a very productive period for photography. The shooting took place during a "marathon". I rent an hotel room for the shooting, so to save money I did 3 shootings with 4 models in this hotel room. The afternoon, the night and in the morning.
I was very tired after that but that was a cool experience.
This is the shooting we did the afternoon.
The funny fact is that was not the hotel I rent for the shooting. I mean when I checked in at the hotel, they told me there was a problem with plumbing so they send me to another hotel and I descovered so room was not as cool as the room I rent. Design is kidda important for my photography. It's like a movie set.
But I figured it out. Anyway I had no choice !

[ nymphose ] part 2
So, what is [ HOLE ] ? What for me makes a shooting a [ HOLE ] shooting ?
well... nudity. loss. hotel room. black.
It's all the faces and shades of loss and black.
When I began photography I tried different styles as different colors. Blue, Red, White... but there was always a little part of black.
With this project I finally explored all the black and discovered all the colors in it. Hope you can see it.

[ nymphose ] part 1
Well [ nymphose ] was not in the [ HOLE ] project at the beginning.
After [ abandon ] I tried several porn shootings to continue [ HOLE ]. It was fun, it was nice but it was not [ HOLE ]. I made these porn shootings more with my dick than my brain. And the [ HOLE ] project is more about brain.
So I finally gave up [ HOLE ]. I made more shootings (including this one). And finally after some works, looking back at previous shootings, I realised I was back in this project without really knowing it.
So I checked out all my series and found this one would be a perfect continuation to my forgotten project. So almost one year after the shooting, [ nymphose ] became [ HOLE III ] and I was back in tracks.
Just like now.

Well... long time no see. You can't struggle with life when life has different plans from yours.
Different phases from "okay" to "same shit already".
Anyway I don't want to let this project into oblivion. Anyway without bringing it to conclusion with all my words.
So here we are again.
