The article by the excellent Gaetan Mathieu is here, check it out.
I don’t usually shoot press conferences or at least when I do, I don’t usually show the pictures.
But Fabrice Luchini is an exception, and I must say that standing next to him on Park Avenue while he is quoting the arrival in New York from LF Celine will remain in my memory for a while.
I leave you guys with these amazing words, in french, because some things should not be translated et parce que cela me plait.
“Figurez-vous qu’elle était debout leur ville, absolument droite. New York c’est une ville debout.”
P.S: Big up to my colleagues at the AFP and French Morning, the lunch was fun!

NB: We, at Axel Dupeux Inc, after a long and painfully useless search for a free intern on craigslist willing to update this blog more often than we do, are finally proud to welcome Deana Spavento-Dupeux as our new guest blogger who will write on here once in a while about the ups and downs of sharing the life of a photographer.
Patience is not only a virtue, it is a way of life when you live with a photographer.
I never know what is going to greet me on the other side of the door when i come home from work. An impromptu photo shoot (that has all my lovely vintage furniture pushed into a small corner of the room), half naked models using my walk in closet as a dressing room, 12 rappers freestyling, dead animals (read:taxidermy goats), other french “bohemian” photographers crashing on my couch…..circus midgets.
On a recent night after some (read: alot) cocktails with friends I turned my key and found my husband testing lights for his shoot the next day. “oh your just in time: he says enthusiastically. “for what?” i say suspiciously looking around the room for a booby trap. “for me to take your picture, i’m testing my lights” “phew” i thought.”that’s easy enough” of course i said that before i saw his “flash”
“What is that?” I say slightly terrified. “my camera” (I mean seriously folks) “no, that monstrosity attached to it!” “oh my new flash! Pretty cool, right?” Oh boy how do I get roped into these things? “is that going to blind me?” “UGH!, How the hell should I know ?! That is why I’m testing it on you!”
Ahhhhh-true love
For the record YES it did temporaily blind me, but you will be happy to know i no longer see traces of white rings when i open my eyes…i think.
