This is only my second edition of my #FilmDiaries series on my blog and I am already super late (as today we are halfway through August...)
Well, I have a couple of excuses: 1st one would be that my photo lab is now taking up to one week to develop films (and as long as it is summer in Paris, it is not a good moment to find another one as it most probably will be closed for vacation)! And the 2nd is that I only have 1 week in Paris in August and a lot had to be done during that one week.
But ok, here we are again! I am so happy I am doing this because every time I am watching these photos from July they make me smile. I remembered July as really relaxed month were I didn’t have lot of work or events but rather had a few really nice last minute getaways with friends. I am not completely happy about the film I used though (Kodak Ultramax): the colors turned out over saturated and skins too orange.
So, my July was about:
At Passage des Panoramas for L'Artisan Parfumeur event. I love how many efforts some brands put in organising events: unexpected locations, great food, great people!
Shooting Parisian Stories - summer campaign by BHV Marais departments store. Me with campaign photographer Ylenia and BHV SMM Joanne.
Opening of Chanel Beauty store on Champs Elysees (wanted a picture with this gorgeous window), Reformation dress
One day long escape to Pourville-sur-Mer in Normandie with Katya & Elliot: eating pizzas on the beach

Another weekend spent in Normandie, this time in Etretat: on tried to capture this couple comfortably laying on the grass enjoying the view over cliffs but they turned out too dark
Postcard from Jardins d'Etretat in Normandie
Etretat and its promenade
That night in Etretat we had pizzas with the view for dinner (you probably have seen this photo on my Instagram feed). We got our pizzas in a restaurant in the city and then rushed our way on top of the cliff. Of course, once arrived pizza was not that hot as it supposed to be but we were starving and the view was breathtaking, so we didn't mind!
Last one from Etretat: that weekend the swimmimg was forbidden in La Manche due to some pollution in the water, so we went hiking and discovered a beach I have never been before
