Since I started the first photography course when I got to L.A. I felt I wanted to shoot film again (not all the time, of course, developing an average of two hundred pictures on every trip would very probably lead me to the most absolute ruin ever). Then, there was somebody talking to me...

Sometimes, when I find myself too exposed to dozens of esthetic stimulus brought back from the past, in a kind of short period of time, I surprise myself pronouncing the horrific sentence: They don’t make things like they used to, anymore… And then I wonder how right I am. Maybe it is because of...

I have never been a huge fan of pin-up style, actually, even less when it started unexpectedly spreading all over in a quite tiring, boring way, to be sincere. However, there’s still hope, my dears, and this portrait of British singer Nicola Roberts by Catherine Servel for Ponystep Magazine is the irrefutable proof of...
