Informal #EU summit photographs : European leaders on the red carpet.

This time it was really crowded with media, so I put myself behind all others, in the entrance. With all these reflections it was quite difficult to focus and shoot, but the images that are ok, are really something different than the usual EU summit photographs. (If you want you can get these ‘usual’ pics for free of the European Commission himself. They shoot everything and give it away, but for the ‘other’ pics you have the agencies. And for the very special photographs, you have me.

Helle knows how to dress. Her red coat, red beg and the red carpet went together very well!

Ok, I focused on the window at the other side, but I really like the effect of her walking so sturdy. Thanks to Angela Merkel.

Two black-and-white publications in Le Vif thanks to these photo-editors loving my #photography

I was very happy with the photo-editors of Le Vif (Belgian magazine for the French-speaking community. They wanted my image of Jean-Luc Dehaene (#JDL) to be used in a spread on page 10/11. I tried this image through my agency etcetera, but finally Le Vif found me through my blog. The image really symbolises the downfall of Dexia and JLD with it.

 

And surprisingly, only 10 pages further, my agency reporters succeeded to have sold my photograph in B&W of Elio Di Rupo entering the Flagey building just around the corner, for the PS congress. Again a nice spread.

 

I guess my roots in Black and White photography finally pay off.
