The old fish market of Tokyo was located in the city.

Taking advantage of the technical possibilities of the Nikon D4 and D5 cameras It was possible realize, during the shooting, a superimposition of images (from 1 to 9 in a maximum delay of 30 seconds), directly on the sensor. Contrary to a post-production work with photographic retouching software, this practice requires reflection prior to shooting. It is imperative to take into account as precisely as possible the following parameters: general and spotted lighting, contrasts, color range, possible movements of the scene or subjects to be superimposed to obtain an interesting effect, either by addition or subtraction.

A new experience out of the ordinary: to be welcomed at the farm by the Besse family and the shearers' team who shared their know-how and hard work, one day shearing ewes in the hamlet of Maméas Haut, in Haute Loire.
The shed, filled by the noise and the animation of men and women, each at his post, and that of the ewes and the dogs, all living the intense tension of the moment. Tools so well run in, gestures so precise, so fast, so impeccably efficient, but so gentle and so respectful of the animals. Wool that falls in less than two minutes, in one piece, which is piled up again and again. The ewes gathered behind the barriers, those to be passed and those already sheared. What a collective synergy so perfectly orchestrated, almost without words. And finally this human intensity during the meal shared around the large table in the modern farm's kitchen.
May these images be a gift of thanks and reciprocity for these moments of life shared in all authenticity!
