Male
He's 15, my second son and a fascinating human being. I'd need much more than a blog post to say what I know, think and feel about Matthieu. What I can say is this : he's a beautiful mind and fascinating to watch when he thinks. That's what this photograph is trying to show.
We shot this at home, against a simple piece of 'birch' background paper. It was Christmas 2014. Two striplights are very close to him and the aperture wide open (f1.8).
Ibrahim is the President of Mimi Plange with whom I had the honor of collaborating for a project called "Mimi and Me". Ibrahim speaks French (well, Belgium French) and has proven to be the kindest and most wonderful guy to work with.
Ibrahim's glasses are very much part of who he is. The problem was of course the reflection of my bright and close strip boxes. But I ended up loving the layers of light, on the glass and the eyeballs.
Ibrahim, the other half of Mimi Plange.
