Comments: Softcover, 24,5 x 34 cm. Black and white portraits capturing the 1980s in Paris.

It is this raw energy that I tried to capture with my camera, charged with a Kodak Tri-X boosted by my flash. Even if sometimes I acted with cunning and surprise, I always expressed truth and sincerity through my pictures... "
