Billboard is paying a tribute to legendary producer Seymour Stein in their last issue, FYI the guy discovered The Ramones, the Smiths and Madonna.
And guess who shot it!
Pick up an issue if you wanna see them big… and also a third photograph that I am not a big fan of.
Fellow frenchman/ photographer Jerome Jakubiec stopped by for coffee in Bushwick this morning. He let me torture him for a few minutes.

I was in Paris for a bit and took a walk with my friend Fifi and his proverbial “joie de vivre” in the Montmartre cemetary.
He has a pimpin’ new website here. That’s why he look so happy…

My beloved mother Anne surprised me with a nice present for Christmas. It was actually something I thought was lost for many years and I was really sad about it. Somehow she managed to find it back.
The dedicace above is from 1993, I was eleven and starting to photograph fuck around with a camera, my parents were invited to a cocktail and met Robert Doisneau.
My mum told him I wanted to become a photographer and he wrote me this kind little note.
It says ” For Axel, A very old camera from a very old photographer”
Last summer, on a steamy friday afternoon, I went to meet the boys from Das Racist in the East village at their favorite hang out the blind barber, which in addition to beeing a trendy barber is also a bar… Do i really need to say more?
About the actual shoot, I remember people jumping around, someone throwing some shrimps at me and infamous assistant Ryan Morris carrying two strobes, a flash generator and two shots of whiskey.
And that is pretty much how it got a bit out of hand…

I took a little walk in Bushwick with my excellent friend Jean-Eric Boulin and snapped a few photos.
No worries though! There is a lot more corporate photography coming soon…
