Mon Royal
personal work, published in L'Officiel China, 2024
In summer 2023 a magical shoot happened. While I was on stay in Montreal, Canada, I connected with three creatives that love lightpainting as much as I do - a very rare thing. The extent of that love showed itself on set when there were repeated outcries of “Oh my fucking God, that is AMAZING!” or “If that’s not a Vogue title I don’t know!!!” 😅 and a general feeling of ecstasy.
I am sure the model Emma thought we were quite weird. But its so great to connect with like-minded people. And to find them thousands of kilometres from my country surprised me and gave me the feeling that you can create a home whereever you go.
Thank you Randy, Steeve and Emmanuelle for that unforgettable memory ❤️
