Little trip of two weeks with a friend of mine. Arrival in Zagreb and then just freedom about destinations and dates.
Portraits of the usual clients of a swiss bar in Romont: the XV.
There is some girls like that, very humble and discreet, breezing through you.
But Chi has everything a photographer wants: a perfect body, good attitude and original ideas.
It was a real pleasure to uncover what Chi was keeping egoistically.
Win a photo lesson or a photo shooting; send your picture within the theme "Closer moment(s)" until the 20th of february 2011.
For the second time, the bar Lapart, in Fribourg, wanted me to do the pictures of his birthday. This time, the invited guest had to fit with the special theme : the 1930's.
I will exhibit from friday 26th to sunday 28th of november in the school of Marly (near Fribourg) in the festival "Carnets de Voyages". Showing ten years of photography, I'll try to explain why we do travel.
For the birthday of his first salon (1 year), the hairstylist Mike P organized, in the Box Club of Lausanne, a big party only for girls. He also invited Maxime, one of the protagonists of Secret Story. And me ? I was there to shoot him and his 180 fans !
I organise roadtrips to Iceland. Follow me during two weeks and learn how to photography ones of the most amazing landscapes of the world.
Still for some years I was attracted by Latvia: this country has almost 50% of forrest; so I wanted to know how near from nature the people from there was living.
The primary school 6P of Vignettaz (Fribourg) asked me to join the preparation camp in the Alps, in Finhaut (Valais). Then, I did the pictures of the theater show Les Oreilles de l'Âme.
The theater has been written by Yvan Braillard, Anaïs Haas and Michèle Delaloye Gonzalez.
For the inauguration of his new basket hall, the Fribourg Olympic Team asked Harold Mrazek to organize a 24 hours contest. My colleague Charly Rappo and I covered all the event, from the begin until the awards ceremony.
Here are some pictures, maybe something more personnal or private. Some of them are also usefull or illustrative, while the others are just unclassificables but nice to show.
This gallery will be updated following my projects, my ideas or my evolution.
Photography contest for the members of my facebook group. Join the group, take part and win the award : a private photography lesson.
Because I went a lot of times to Buenos Aires, I decided to add some new pictures of this capital, taken between 2008 and 2009.
---
I went twice to Buenos Aires. The first time it was with Nicole. We did the touristic and typical tour: San Telmo, La Boca and eat a parillada.
The second time, I came back to see Julieta, a girl I met in San Pedro de Atacama. This time, it was more a party time, dancing tango in milongas and a love deception.
Going to Brazil to slacken, for the fun, the beach and the mythic caipirinhas.
End of october, short before 8 am. The freezing fog of down town is getting thicker and begins to paralyse.
However Xi take the plunge and go into the river.
During the session, the pictures get closer.
Some pictures of the place I had in the Christmas Market in Fribourg (Switzerland) in the old train station.
I was presenting the photos of my past exhibits, my book of Iceland, t-shirts, etc. I was also organizing a free and improvised photoshooting.
The bar Lapart has asked me to take pictures of his private party for his fifth Birthday. Then I published the pictures on his website that I developped myself.
I've already done a photo shooting like this one, in the fields. But one day Berenice Z, the model, had decided to complain about abusing on her image, even if she posed with pleasure one whole day.
Whatever, today I only work with contract. So I asked Gamma to pose for me and she did it very well. She's also much prettier as Berenice Z.
I am always looking for models to pose for my projects, magazines or other photographers asking me for models.

Many friends and people asked me to give photography lessons. It's why I created 8 modules, allowing you to learn what you need and leave the contents you already know.
Lambda is a real good model: she's the one you can ask everything, just because for her, the art is more important than her own expression or appearance.
It was then obvious I'll ask her to pose for me once again.
The Faroe Islands are between Denmark and Iceland. They belong to Denmark but are independent.
What happen there?
As tourist: pictures of sheeps, fjords, fogs mixed with sweet lights.
As inhabitant? As I saw: confection of wool sweater, transportation, importation, fishing and toursim - even if it's not so developed.
Iceland is for me the country of the contrasts. First because of the weather: six month of light in the summer, six month of night in the winter, and even in sommer you can feel now 20°C and maybe in less than five minutes you'll have 7°C.
Then, for his monochrome landscapes with always a strong bright colorful element in it.
At last, for the lights: sunbeams crossing the covered and deeply grey sky, lighting the also contrasted geological formations: ice and snow mixed with vapor and fire.
Rhô is a fantastic model, able to adopt a lot of different expressions and attitudes, without the intention to do it so. I wanted then to enjoy this trait of caracter, doing some photoshootings in different contexts: close black and white portraits, improvised amusement or a game of composition with the contrasts and depth of the concrete. Finally in this gallery you'll find some light and aerial pictures, as well as dense and terrestrial pictures.
This trip to the provinces of La Rioja and Catamarca was like an adventure. First we began visiting the national park Talampaya, lost in the desert. We slept in a tent, under an amazing starry sky.
On the next day, we had some difficulties to leave the place because of the bad connections. We were stained to hitchhike. A big truck took us until Patquía, a small and non really pretty town. Also here we had some difficulty to go there where we wanted to. We decided to go to La Rioja (capital) and to go the next day to Andalgalá, where I finished a photoshooting I began the week before with my model "rho" (gallery is coming next).
I went twice to Uruguay and surely would go other times more. It's a really attractive country with his colonial style and his nice and courteous people. I only regret the landscape which is flat and without impressive geologic formations.
Uruguay is so small that can be visited in two days, but it's worthwile to visit it longer to really enjoy.
Two friends of mine, Guillaume and Arnaud Prin have written, setted and acted this theater's piece. So they were interested to have some pictures of their performance.
Here are some examples of the general repetition. I have put the accent on the artistic side of the pictures and not the technical quality.
I designed the website of the horse festival of Trancas, so I decided to go there and see around what happened.
On the day, they present horses and runs. When the sun get down, some famous goups of folklore music do their show. For example el Chaqueño Palavecino or Soledad.
2-days'hiking with my cousin Philippe Noth ; always him.
After only the first day I had my knees destructed. Anyway, I went on the second day. What a brave good guy I am.
But when I get back to Fribourg I needed three weeks to get better. So if there is any physiotherapeutist reading that, please contact me and tell me what happened. Thanks.
PS: Yes, Ticino is beautyfull and lovely and nice.
As well as I went back from my nice one year trip in South America, and because my flight was doing a stop in London, I decided to stay one week in London and not 2 hours in the airport.
Wenn my sister knew that, she took a flight and came to visit me there for 5 days together.
As well as the School for Primary School Teacher was firing me, I went to Maldives with my ex girlfriend. The trip was planned some monthes before they kicked my ass. So I went there with a whole smile on my face, because Maldives Islands are like a Paradise and let you forget everything else. Now, some years later, I think that it was just the better thing it could happen to me, because thank the ex "director" Pierre-Georges Roubaty, now I am living of photography and travels. What could I ask more ?
I went twice on Barcelona. Once with 4 friends of mine, trying to take some freak pictures, to change my style of photography. To be sure to success in this hard mission, I drunk a lot, I let me live. Beach, Party but also small trip around Barcelona.
The second time I get back, it was to see a girl a met on my first trip.
Phi asked me to take some pictures of her, but also of his daily environment. Like this, she would have a good "souvenir" of this period of her life: the factory, her camping-car, her flat, her cat.
I used to see Anne-Sophie in the street for almost three monthes and each time I felt in love. One day, I asked her if she would do a photoshooting with me. She accepted and did it very well. I discovered a woman sure of herself which we can feel when we see the pictures. Maybe it's the secret of all good models : being without complexes and shameless.
I appreciated so much her style that we did four photoshootings together. If I wouldn't leave Switzerland for Argentina, it would be more than that.
The goal of Lambda and I was to shoot some close and personal pictures, as an independent woman, living her allday alone.
The disco FMRA in Fribourg asked me to organize a photoshooting on 23th december.
So, I brought my studio and helped the people to act like if they where models.
I had the biggest chance to be helped with a Santa Claus and his... wife ?
Each year, the family of my mother is celebrating Christmas in a Mountain Chalet.
As my gran mother has had 17 children (with the same father), I let you imaginate how many people we are (uncles, aunts, cousins, girlfriends and boyfriends and children of cousins).
I went twice to Buenos Aires. The first time it was with Nicole. We did the touristic and typical tour: San Telmo, La Boca and eat a parillada.
The second time, I came back to see Julieta, a girl I met in San Pedro de Atacama. This time, it was more a party time, dancing tango in milongas and a love deception.
Pictures Exhibit to Cafe IIIème in Bulle.
From 3rd feb to 2nd march 2008.
First day apero on sunday 3rd february at 5pm.
I'll present some different views of the roofs of the street I lived in for 6 years.
---
I live in this street (rue de Lausanne, Fribourg, Switzerland) for 6 years. But I don't stop discovering it again and again. Sometimes and early morning, sometime during a snow storm and sometimes with a lot of animations.
I observe. From the roofs. And from the roofs I can see everything. But mostly other roofs.
Redesign of the website upsilon. It's the forth version since his creation in 1998. All the functions has been recoded, I've edited new pictures, I added some options, the design is more ergonomic and now, the website is available in 4 languages.
Bêta was ready to do some artistic and nake pictures. This woman express her feminity in his natural attitude, taking sensual poses without being vulgar either provocative.
The lights emphasizes her female forms.
Like last year, AutoScout24 asked me to take the pictures of the Motor Show in Zürich.
During 5 days then, I walked around the different stands, creating contacts and also learning many things about cars.
The pictures have been publicated each evening on www.myhotcar.ch
Dyctaclown is a theater piece for children, and by the children of the Pop-Corn Theater Troupe.
It has been created by three teachers: Sophie Korol, Alicia Rolle and Lydie Lumpini.
These pictures have been taken on the Sunday representation, on 18th of November 2006 in the Theater Hall called L'Arbanel, in Treyvaux (Switzerland)
