The Journal
Summer ’18, the summer I am visiting U.S.A. Starting the trip in New York City. As you probably might know, NY kan be very hot and humid during summer. So I planned the day switching outside and inside to cool down in cold airco wind. Places I’ve visited: MoMa, Rockerfeller, Central Park, Wall Street, Broadway (went to the musical Aladin), boat tour around Manhattan, Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn bridge.
New York:
After, I’ve visited Washington D.C., San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego:
It was a big pleasure to photograph the annual gala of Association Polo des Grandes Écoles & Universités. The outstanding venue of this year was the Cercle National des Armées. It’s a military building in the city center of the 8th arrondissement of Paris. Last year, the location was École Militair, next to the Eiffeltower {watch the photos here of last year}.
This gala of 2018 was, like the French call it, magnifique. With 250 guests, the ballroom was decorated by beautiful dresses, champagne and sparkling conversations. As the sun was getting down, the crystal chandeliers made the evening shining.
In February of this year, 2018, I traveled to Sevilla. I’ve always been dreaming of visiting the South of Spain, Andalusia. The people are very friendly, and they love to have drinks on the terrace with their friends. If you are lucky you will hear live Flamenco, which is very energetic and a true visualization of the emotions. I can recommend visiting the garden of Alcatraz. It’s the most beautiful garden I’ve ever seen!
It was a big pleasure to photograph and film the backstage of Greek designer Celia Kritharioti. It was Paris Couture week and the Spring/ Summer collection of 2018 was being presented to the press. The dresses were bright and colorful. You can view the backstage photos here. Thanks to Totem Fashion PR. Location of the show: Ritz Hotel Paris.
Audience & Show:
An historical hotel where Gabriëlle Chanel used to live for 35 years. It’s based on the iconic Place Vendôme in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. The hotel has been renovated between 2012 and 2016, and I’ve never visited since it’s re-opening. And did you know that Ritz has a secret tunnel, so that the famous guests can come and go without being seen?
15 Place Vendôme, 75001 Paris, France
