it was too hot
Whenever I photograph a woman, I feel like I am backing down the borders of death. - Lucien Clergue

do we talk about it?
35°C, bright sunshine, Léa eats an ice cream while I literally risked my life on the road... everything came together to make this session a fiasco.

Leaning against a stone wall with ancient textures, Léa wears an outfit that exudes elegance and spring freshness. She is dressed in a white blouse with blue floral patterns, which evokes flowering gardens under a summer sky. This blouse, both feminine and sophisticated, is slightly open, revealing a white tank top that adds a touch of simplicity to her look. Around her neck, a necklace of fine pearls sparkles gently, bringing a note of classicism to her ensemble.
Her hair is pulled up in a high bun, freeing her neck and highlighting her jewelry.
The back -plan, with its verdoyant garden and golden light filtering through the trees, creates an ambiance of peace and natural beauty, where each element, from stone to flora, composes a scene where time seems to stand still. Léa, with her outfit and her attitude, becomes the center of this poetic painting, where simplicity meets sophistication in a setting of bucolic serenity.

The paint on the wall is peeling like the pages of a history book, Léa is wearing a vibrant coral jumpsuit that catches the sunlight with summer softness. This outfit, both fluid and structured thanks to its delicate pleats, is belted at the waist with an elegant bow, emphasizing its silhouette with natural grace. The choice of this bright color brings a touch of freshness and liveliness to the scene, contrasting with the patina of time on the wall behind it.
The dense humidity of the washhouse, almost palpable, mixes with the heavy air , creating an atmosphere worthy of a hammam where each breath seems suspended. Soft sunlight diffuses through the walls, accentuating the vapors floating in the air, while delicate shadows appear on the fabric of Léa's outfit. The background, marked by the passage of time, contrasts with its youth and contemporary style, adding a touch of poetry to this intimate moment where time seems to freeze.

This look is captivating, like a tranquil lake under a summer sky, where the green-gray eyes reflect a mysterious depth and inner serenity. The eyebrows, arched with natural precision, frame the eyes with simple elegance, emphasizing every emotion that could pass through this look. The eyelashes, long and slightly curved, add a touch of softness, catching the light like threads of gold. There is a gentle intensity in these eyes, a mixture of curiosity and calm, as if they are observing the world with silent wisdom. The golden earrings, discreetly visible, bring a note of sophistication, completing this look with a touch of luminosity. The blurred background, with its neutral tones, leaves plenty of room for the expressiveness of this look, creating an atmosphere where every detail, from the color of the irises to the texture of the skin, composes a portrait of depth and visual poetry.
