Interview Photographe: Renée Jacobs

September 11th, 2011. By Sophie Fung

Renée Jacobs  « Mes Petites Femmes de Paris »

Je suis vraiment ravie que ma pemière interview vidéo ait été avec Renée Jacobs.

Non seulement mon amie photographe m’a-t-elle prêté son propre équipement vidéo, mais elle m’a aussi fait boire du champagne… vous le distinguerez peut-être à mon rire. Je suis en général un peu plus sérieuse…  Un petit peu « ;)

Renée Jacobs nous présente ici son nouveau livre à paraître pour la fin 2011, un livre de photos de nus féminins intitulé “Mes petites Femmes de Paris” : des clichés noirs et blancs, de délicates compositions, pleines de mouvement, de passion, et de sensualité.

Je voudrais remercier les artistes musicaux français basés à Los Angeles qui ont très généreusement contribué à l’illustration de l’interview : Jessica Fichot ,  François Chouchan , et le groupe Seeing Thingz .

Renée Jacobs donnera une Soirée de Pré-publication pour “Mes Petites Femmes de Paris” à Los Angeles, à la Gallerie Skotia , le 8 octobre 2011.

 

 


Sophie says … “I am a freelance French teacher and writer, born in Provence, and living in Los Angeles, California. I share my passion for the arts (all of them!), sciences, education and environment on my Facebook page and my soon-to-be blog The French Sophie. I will also share my French life in L.A, in France, and around the world, en français, on MaVieFrancaise.org. Stay tuned!”

Renee has just returned to LA from 3 weeks of shooting nudes in Paris, for her new book… watch out for it!
And I thought that you might like to read a little more about Renee as we wait for her images to be edited and the book published.
Congratulations Renee!
