I'm a Cliche In the late 70's, the Punk subculture began to spread in the UK and Western Europe. Rock Punk, New wave, and Street Punk. "I'm a Cliché" is a book statement on the "Blank Generation" scene in Paris,
London Birmingham and Berlin. Cynicism and despair are just the veneer. The style is also violent: wide angle and flash in the dark at the Roxy or the Vortex. This time the show is not on stage anymore but among us, but it looks like another planet. Meet The Clash, The Damned, The Slits, X-Ray Spex, Generation X, The Guilty Razors, Asphalt Jungle and their friends. Images from the book have been exposed at the Gallery agnes B in Paris, Gainsbourg exposition, (city of Music), RIP (International Photography show in Arles) in Japan, Korea and Brazil.

Miss You
… I shot my first Miss at a young age. On that day, I was crashing a party in a huge, luxurious hotel in Paris. I had heard there would be free drinks and appetizers. As pathetic as it sounds, that's how I got drawn into the staged drama, rehearsed suspense, fake tears and forced laughter of the wonderful world of pageantry.
To understand why otherwise classy girls would expose themselves (half naked, topless or completely nude were the main options), I attended every pageant I could find for the next few years: Miss Topless, Miss Europe Nude, Miss Inter-camping, Miss Playgirl, Miss Hollywood, Miss Studio of Stars, etc.
You name it, with my camera, I was there.
I managed to capture some very unique, and compelling photographs, published in a book rapidly sold out, available now in a new edition. Only $9.99 (69 pages B&W). Flip pages preview

Cheap Dates The classic men's girlies and adventure magazines flourished during the 60's. when popular titles sold by the millions to men all across America and - in case of soldiers stationed oversea - around the world.
These lurid pulps have enticed millions of readers with tales of blood and sex.
The photographs depicted in this book are colorful, rude, shocking, sleazy, but always downright fascinating.
The photo shoots are made in the cottages of the Los Angeles San Fernando Valley (soon to become the world's capital of porn).
They are not politically correct: and they are not socially acceptable. What they are is, a fun underground subculture that challenges the dominant social order by offering a deviant lifestyle that sneaks around and breaks social taboos.

The Other Fragonard
The Other Fragonard is a book published in 1980, it was the first time a photographer was allowed to enter The Horror Room of the Veterinarian Museum of Maison Alfort near Paris, where the remaining pieces of Fragonard's Ecorches were displayed but hidden from the public. Fragonard (cousin of the famous painter) spent nine years preparing thousands of anatomical items for view.

Drifting The best thing about street photography is that it is like embarking on an unknown voyage. You just never know what you are going to find, or what shots you are going to make. Just let it go.
Anything can happen. Like ending up in a stripper's apartment, Xmas eve in a homeless shelter or taking portraits of some suburban gang members. Everyone of our phantasm is here to be seen and photographed, such as this half naked woman in the subway…. Only $9.99 (91 pages B&W) Flip pages preview |
