The idea of taking photos of my balcony <\/strong>came to me at the beginning of the confinement, but the definitive form took a long time to emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gradually I came to realize what a unique opportunity it was to be able to observe, from my second-floor balcony, scenes reflecting the full range of emotions, scenes full of humanity. Only this confinement could reveal them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conditions were ideal: almost no traffic, few passers-by and even few bicycles (at the start), not to mention a splendid spring with exceptional luminosity in a sunny climate. Paris<\/strong> limpid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My approach:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all these images sorted and worked on, I published two chronicles in my blog. To my great surprise, these columns were a great success. I received many warm messages and a great demand for them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"...when's the book?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I called my friend Carlos Schmerkin<\/strong>who designed and produced all my previous books, an essential complement to my work as a photographer, and I put the idea to him. He said \"OK\" and we embarked on this adventure together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For three months, we worked on the photos, adding others taken with my iPhone during my daily \"itineraries\" around the R\u00e9publique and Canal Saint-Martin districts. Then we refined the captions to accentuate the humorous touches and winks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now that the model is finished, I can't wait to share with you my vision of this unique Parisian confinement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
