Well, it’s been a quiet few months for portrait and fashion photography, and that’s one of the bigger understatements I could make about 2020.
I made it back to France in early July, and the restrictions here were eased up quite a bit (they’re starting to crack down again as of this week, and honestly I’m glad). But even with life here being somewhat back to normal, the idea shooting again still felt pretty weird.
Before the coronavirus, most of my photo shoots were with people traveling to Paris from abroad. But now? That wasn’t going to happen.
I’d been walking around and taking photos on my own during quarantine, of course. But since Paris had returned to something close to normal, I was been dying to get out and shoot with other people, too. (Outside and at a distance, of course.)
Paris photo shoot craving? Enter Lucie!
Lucie Émile is a new face model at Smith & Smith agency, and she was in need of some happy, smiling photos for her portfolio. And I am no stranger to happy photos!
