Bonsoir,

L’autoritarisme dans lequel notre pays est en train de sombrer m’effraie, on interdit les manifestations, on veut supprimer le droit de vote à ceux qui seront arrêter samedi.

Je ne peux pas rester sans rien faire, c’est trop grave!

Je cherche des gens avec qui aller manifester samedi pour ne pas y aller seule.

Dites moi tout, je suis curieux 😊

I have few spots if anyone interested in exploring

Hi everyone,
I’m a photographer based in Paris, and I have an idea for a personal photography project I’d love to bring to life during tomorrow’s demonstration.
I’m looking for a couple who’d be interested in a short, collaborative photoshoot.
The idea is fairly simple: a couple kissing in the middle of a wide Parisian boulevard, seemingly oblivious to everything happening around them, with protesters and riot police in the background.
What interests me is the contrast between an intimate moment and the chaos of the streets, especially given the current atmosphere in Paris.
Photo references and my concept art
The first three images are real photographs, while the fourth is an AI-generated concept art image illustrating more precisely what I have in mind.
This is a non-commercial collaboration. You’ll receive the edited photos for free, and I’d like to be able to share them as part of my photographic work.
Of course, I’m not planning to put anyone at risk or get caught in the middle of clashes. The idea is to shoot from a safe distance, using the demonstration as a backdrop.
The shoot itself shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes.
If you’re interested, leave a comment and we can discuss the details.
Thanks!

Edit :
A note for those who have criticized the concept of this project:
I think there’s an important distinction between documentary photography and constructed photography, and both have a legitimate place in the medium.
Think of Jeff Wall’s staged street scenes, or Martha Rosler’s Bringing the War Home, in which she deliberately juxtaposed the comfort of domestic life with images of the Vietnam War. The contrast is precisely what gives those works their meaning.
An image doesn’t have to be spontaneous to say something truthful about the world. What matters is how it’s constructed, presented and contextualized, which is why I’ve been transparent about the nature of this project from the beginning.
The fact that the idea alone has provoked such strong reactions is interesting in itself. It suggests that the juxtaposition already raises questions and evokes emotions, even before a single photograph has been taken. That doesn’t automatically validate the work, of course, but it does suggest there’s something worth exploring.
My intention is to develop this into a series rather than a single image. Presented together, and with some distance from the events themselves, these photographs could invite viewers to revisit a particular moment in time without being caught up in its immediate emotions.
Different viewers might see intimacy, indifference, absurdity, tenderness or escapism. I’m interested in allowing those interpretations to coexist rather than imposing a single reading.
I believe art can offer another way of looking at something we think we already understand.

Hello, i moved recently to Paris and im thinking about going to watch a movie today, anyone interested?

Bonjour à tous,

J’habite à Paris (F31) et j’ai du mal à trouver des personnes d’origine roumaine comme moi (soit né à Paris de parents roumains ou alors qui habitent ici depuis quelques années), en dehors des gens de ma famille/amis proches.

J’ai toujours été très proche de ma culture, de ma religion (christianisme orthodoxe) et avec les années qui passent et certaines réflexions récentes, j’aimerai beaucoup pouvoir rencontrer des personnes, homme comme femme, avec qui partager nos traditions, échanger, sortir, etc.

Avec les années, je ressens de plus en plus le besoin de me rapprocher de mes racines et de partager cette partie de mon identité avec des personnes qui la comprennent.

Et avec plaisir pour faire découvrir Paris à quelqu’un qui serait arrivé récemment de Roumanie.

Vous pouvez me MP :)

Bonne journée.

Hello, je cherche une ou deux personnes avec qui se poser dans un parc et dessiner courant semaine prochaine si la météo n'est pas mauvaise.

C'est sans prise de tête, pas besoin d'avoir un niveau exceptionnel, moi-même je ne suis pas la meilleure. Le but étant de sortir de la routine et potentiel agrandir le cercle social.

Mes DM sont ouverts et si possible des personnes entre 20-26 ans svp merci !

Hello everyone, if you are coming to Beijing soon from Paris, France, can you help bring a T-shirt? I will bear the cost of the T-shirt. As a token of gratitude, I would be happy to invite you to eat the old Beijing Zhajiangmian or Qingfeng Steamed Buns or show you around Beijing!
