“La ligne doit avant tout son élégance au dépouillement et à la pureté de sa construction. La ligne du corps compte avant tout. Jamais de surcharge, il ne faut pas trop de fantaisie.” Yves Saint Laurent.
“The line owes before anything else its elegance to the perusal and to the purity of its construction. The body’s line matters above all. Never overload, too much whim is never needed.”
Thanks to this impolite tourist, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) best fan, for having suddenly taken place in front of my lens… I took quickly advantage of the moment, and I do like this portrait. Indeed, when people like being shot, as NYC photographers used to say, it’s easier. Send me more of those guys, please! ;)

«On allait au bord de la mer, Avec mon père, ma sœur, ma mère. On regardait les autres gens, Comme ils dépensaient leur argent.

Alors, on regardait les bateaux, On suçait des glaces à l’eau…» Michel Jonasz (les Vacances au bord de la mer).
“We were going by the sea, with my father, my sister, my mother. We looked at the other people, how they spent their money. Us, we had to pay attention: when the holiday rental was paid, we had not much money left. Then, we looked at boats, we sucked sherbets…”
