Like most models I want to shoot with for the project, I have started to chat with Dibran on social medias.

Originally from Kosovo and living in Lyon, he moved to Paris last summer to work for a famous prêt-à-porter brand.
This finally gave us the opportunity to meet and chat in front of a coffee. 

Dibran is a great guy, attracted by both sport and art. He already knew my work and appreciates its subtle approach of masculinity.

We immediately connected : he was as eager as I was to plan a photo-shooting together. 

As summertime ended, we both headed to Normandy, close to the world-famous Etretat site.

Contrary to my usual indoor sessions where intimacy mostly prevails, I aimed to shoot Dibran outdoors and take advantage of the specific landscapes.

To reveal more of his essence, I needed to widen the scope and isolate him from the surrounding elements of nature. 

Few clothing, despite a cool breeze from the ocean.

«Habillé peu mais habillé bien ».

Summer was definitively over.

The pictures of this first series couldn’t be featured anywhere but in the iconic Eroticco Magazine.
