The Evzones
16 décembre 2005
Still on the Guards series… The Evzones are fantastic, with a surreal costum, a very complicated uniform they wear since 1829 after the victory against the turkish army. The protocole of the change of the guard is amazing. Next step: Italy.

I worked during a week with a group of children (Umwana) , all orphans, most of them HIV positive. The situation there still makes me trembling all over.

The « Guards
4 octobre 2005
The « Guards » project keeps going with. Last week, at white hall, I was shooting the portraits of the « Blues and Royal » guards, Scotguards and Irish guards. Last year, I already photographed the Grenadier in Wellington Barrack, and the liveguards in White hall. The next shooting will be in Paris in the Garde Republicaine.
