Now, Dominique is endowed of a certain technique
equated to a second nature and completed by an artistic side he developed in his daily life. He pays an
admiration to the masters: Joe McNally ,the famous
international photographer who combine 30 years
and more than 50 countries in his achievements and
Ansel Adams ,the ecologist author of photographies
in black and white of west America and of the vary
famous Moonrise, Hernandez, new Mexique. He tries
to show trough the photography of beauty and fashion, the aesthetic of the woman in all ways and colors.
Daniel, on the other hand, appreciating the work of
the famous Canadian photographer Hiedi Hollinger
known for her portraits of the intelligentsia of Yelsin
or the American portraitist Richard Avedon with his
countless works in black and white, seeks an expression, an emotion through the look which explains

that he has a preference for the portraits.
Even if Daniel prefers to be chosen and therefore,
don’t formulate any demand to photograph his subjects, the fact remains that both are now very solicited
for photographic sessions.
Dominique mention:”It is not always easy because I
have a lot of demands but I can’t accept all of them.
As the work occupies the large majority of my week, I
have less time to devote to the elaboration of concepts
and to the research of new places to do outdoor sessions. I should, in the future, be more selective and do
little less sessions to spend more time to find interesting concepts and thereafter concretize them”

Finally I asked to both why the choice to make black and white very often and what do they appreciate in this
technique.
Dominique : “Some pictures are more beautiful and artistic in color; others in black and white. I accept that
for 40 to 50% of the pictures that I retouch, I like to make a black and white version. Black and white pictures
are timeless and classic”
Daniel : “All pictures can’t be us VB
