sunday morning

In this series, I wanted to catch moments of intimacy through daily scenes. To do so, I went to hotels or to friends and models‘places, in their homes, privileging rooms associated to their intimacy (bedrooms, bathrooms …) and there I built situations asking models to let themselves go as much as they could. Subjects are in complete introspection, drowned into a sweet loneliness but also searching for love. This quest may sometimes reveal itself to be vain because even when they are couple, people are close as apart, desperately alone although together. Those images come from my imagination, my phantasms, my obsessions but are always very close to reality, the setting up is always suggested, never imposed. Those images out of time with a “claire-obscure” light and full of melancholy make reference to Dutch and Italian paintings of the XVII th century. This series is called “Sunday morning” because it’s a moment when you let go, time is like suspended in a space-time in slow motion where intimacy can show different faces through ordinary moments of daily life.
