Pellicule etc.

Paris, one year ago now.
August 2011.

In those photos, I'm the fashion designer turned into model and Jean Mark Nourel aka JeanMouk is the passionate Paris based photographer behind the lens.
I've received tons of replies from posting my "fashion photographer wanted " ad on Craigslist Paris a year ago. Decision made and couple of days after I was on a meeting in St Germain talking photography ! It was on one of those "rainy but not so rainy" , late August afternoons in Paris and we discussed about my Parisian style photography project in a cafe by the fountain St Michel. About an hour after, we had our locations in mind, theme + team put together and ideas fusing around ! A very promising photo shoot was scheduled and different looks were lined up! Meeting point : Le Pont des Arts/ Ending spot : Montmartre. Perfect!
I only had few days left in Paris and absolutely wanted to capture the most of me hanging out in Paris wearing my designs...the photo shoot turned out to be the perfect timing to say goodbye to the city ~in style ! It was spontaneous and oh so much fun! I wish I had more time: I remember us running in between spots after the sun ! As you may know how lighting is important in photo! It was Absolutely -with a capital A- great to work with Jean Mark. Him and his girlfriend who assisted him during the entire shoot process knows Paris well and drove me around my favorite spots to shoot ! Jean Mark paid attention to details and works like a pro! If you make it to Paris and are looking for a photographer say hello ! Tell him you've heard about his fantastic photo shoot with Aline from Aline's Closet San Francisco and he'll make room in his busy schedule to shoot with you! I was so exited when I've received all the pictures a week after ( I was back in San Fran! ) and some of them he edited them, so they'll be editorial ready! I wanted to share this experience because Jean Mark followed up with me 2 weeks ago to check if I was back in Paris and see how things were going ! I found it super sharp to follow up with a client a year after and that adds to the whole experience ! A+ 

Jean Mark et Merci !

Big + = he is fluent in English! :)
