Le Nez en l'Air part 4 (Infrared Photography/Photographie infrarouge)

Hi everyone,

A month ago, I took part to the Nez en l'Air festival : what a blast!!!

The concept of this festival is simple : we're a bunch of local artists from Nantes who decided to settle into the vineyards during 4 days. We were 5 or 6 per domains, with 4 domains so it make a total of 22 artists. We are painters, sculptors, photographers, drawers, upcycling artists...

I built a black box to do lightpainting during daylight inside the building. I made portraits of visitors and, of course, I invited people to try to do lightpainting. On the sunny side, I made bodypainting for the audience and a couple of infrared photography sessions in front of the visitors.

I talked about Christophe Milcent earlier this year : @dawnoner/the-iron-horse--a-look-at-christophe-milcents-upcycling-work-lightpainting-on-hive.

Christophe Milcent is a metal sculptor who's specialized in upcycling. I really like Christophe's work. He has a special feeling with horses but his palette is very wide. And he's a very nice human being, very kind and sensitive.

He made this huge gorilla especially for the festival and the crowd was really impressed :
