Jeff Koons Exhibition @Beaubourg // Dailimages Reject

Yesterday I went to the Jeff Koons exhibition at Beaubourg with one of my favorite friends to photograph (second photo). What struck me during the exhibition was how many photographs and selfies were being taken —more than I've normally grown accustomed to it seemed. People were basically looking at the art only through their cell phones. It's actually interestingly fitting for a Koons exhibition, who, if you believe people who admire his work, is perpetually commenting and criticizing our society. And that realization in turn made me spend most of my time there getting shots of people getting shots of the art. Irony, eh? ;)

Photo that made the Dailimages cut found here.

For this second shot, I asked my "camera-ready-friend" to use Koons' animal mirrors as an actual mirror. I could've spent more time photographing her in front of all the mirrors etc., but I try not to impose too much on my models/friends who do this for absolutely no compensation of any kind :D

Je Suis Charlie // Marche Républicaine

As for the previous series, I can't just let all the pictures that could not make the Dailimages cut go to waste (especially that bear one :)), so here they are! Chosen Dailimage viewable here.

This looked like people were fleeing from a zombie attack or something!

I almost ran after her to get a good shot of her bear —I have a thing for bears ^^

Je Suis Charlie

The quality of this one is really terrible but I just love that they put pencils in the little hands of the statues.

He put all these signs himself, I couldn't stop watching him, I thought the effort he was putting into that was very moving.

One last shot can be viewed on my main blog.

Puppy Rejects

I put my puppy through so many photoshoots for Dailimages cause I wanted to feature her, but there was always a better shot... so I'm publishing her here instead :)

Christmas Rejects / Modern Jesus

A fun and offensive Christmas shoot :) The chosen one, that made the Dailimages cut can be viewed here.

Another Day, Another Dailimages Reject

I walked around rue Maubeuge and rue des Martyrs yesterday and snapped this window, which I really liked, but went with the little army of Eiffel Towers instead for my Dailimage (view it here: http://dailimages.wordpress.com/2014/12/02/december-2-2014-2/)

Dailimages Reject

Since I couldn't really decide what to post on my main blog today —Dailimages, accessible here: dailimages.wordpress.com, I decided to post the reject here, because I really love the light on this image, and I like that you can see a bird flying away.

Père Lachaise

Smokey Hand

Today was the first day where I really couldn't decide on my picture of the day for my other blog (dailimages.wordpress.com) so I decided to post the reject here! 
I was having coffee with a friend when all of a sudden the hand of the stranger next to us, holding a cigarette, caught my eye. I didn't want her to catch me photographing her (and either having to delete or explain etc.), so I could only take one shot. Because of the space heaters behind us, the image was extremely red so I fixed that in post, along with a little reframing.

Paris Bunny (Murder?) Mystery

A little word. I usually never write anything on this blog, but I'm making an exception to tell my 5 readers about this new photo project I'm launching on Sept. 23rd. I'll be moving over to Wordpress for that endeavour but will be keeping this blog as well. I'll post a link to the new blog on here when it's up. Cheerio.
