The meditative and highly polished work of Hungarian photographer Akos Major.
Places I have never been but strangley enough, they remind me of home in the winter.
Although my taste usually leans toward photography that involves a bit less of editing, I find this work very interesting and evocative.
All these years of focusing on photographing still life, interiors, nature and lots of in-animated subjects, I realize that I have let my introvert-ridden fears completely deny me from exploring portraiture. This year I made a promise to myself that I would start shooting more people. Be it portrait, fashion, lifestyle you name it. Anything that will tip my fears over the edge.
I would say that my usual way to direct a model would be to ask her for a quiet, still and almost emotionless expression. An aesthetic I very much relate to and get inspired by. But this time was different, I was shooting a girl that was exuding such a positive and fresh energy, I started thinking that there is actual joy in photographing spontaneity in people and not overthink it sometimes. My next portrait session just happened yesterday, and was directed more in my 'usual style' I would say. Photographs soon to come. The session below was shot last week.
So here is to positivism, overcoming fears and reinventing your own rules!

Cette année, on oublie les inhibitions et on se lance dans le portrait. Une série qui ne fait que commencer, des styles différents à venir très bientôt dans mon nouveau portfolio.
Cette-fois ci, c'était une fille spontanée et relaxe, la prochaine sera plus immobile et etudiée. J'explore des allées qui m'ont toujours retenue ou fait peur pour des raisons multiples, mais cette année, les choses changent. Le contact avec le sujet humain m'ouvre vraiment de nouveaux horizons en tant que photographe.
Une affaire à suivre...
A couple of weeks ago I went back to a place that I have only seen in the peak of summer to finally see it in its raw and stark winter days.
Frozen in an instant by whipping winds, we did not last too long out there. Especially early morning. I barely could leave my hands out of my pockets to hold the camera. The photo session didn't really come out the way I had imagined it would. But again, It never does does it? We were soon back by the fireplace enjoying indoor's comfort & secretly thinking how much we love the island in the prime of Summer.

Il y a environ quinze jours je suis retournée à un endroit que je ne connais qu'au zénith de l'été pour enfin le découvrir sous son habit d'hiver.
Figés en un instant par des vents glacés, nous n'avons pas duré longtemps. En particulier tôt le matin, et la séance photo s'est vue écourtée... bien plus tôt que prévu nous étions de retour près de la cheminée, rêvant en secret de l'île sous son soleil d'été.
