ICELAND

Hi everyone!



I hope everything's great! Last week, I went to Reykjavik in Iceland. It was such an amazing experience! Reykjavik is actually one of the northernmost capital in the world and indeed it was pretty cold out there. Not as cold as I expected to be, but still colder than London. This country definitely doesn't look like anything I've seen in the past, it is absolutely unique and incomparable to any other european typic cities. Everything about Iceland is different: their food, their way of living, their horses, their landscapes. Everything felt new, and knowing that it was where the vikings used to live and hold their famous festivities was quite exciting. Oh and I also got to see the northern lights!!! This was one of the most beautiful things I've seen in my entire life! Unfortunately, by the time I set up my tripod, they were gone so I only got a glimpse of it in one of my pictures but it's alright at least I've seen it !
It was very refreshing to go there, hope I could go back there one day!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip.

Enjoy and see you soon !

MANTISSE

Hi everyone!


























As I told you last week, I am currently working on a short film. It is called Mantisse and it is basically the story of an inspector trying to interrogate a housewife suspected for the murder of her husband. I don't wanna go into details because it is not finished yet and I don't really wanna spoil it! 
The story will explore how speech and rhetoric can be manipulated to get certain informations. The short film is also a satire of TV interrogations which always tends to go towards the same directions.

Here are some stills of our first day of shooting.
I hope you'll like it :D !





Cheers,
Lamia xx

Montage

Hi everyone!



I hope you're all doing well! I know it's been a while but I've been busy these past few weeks. I'm actually working on a short film which is extremely exciting as it is all happening in an interrogation room. We will start the shooting in two days so you will hopefully have a glimpse on it very soon.

In the meantime, I just found this picture that I took from a trip in the US three years ago, and I wanted to try something new with it. Not that I am tired of black and white, I just wanted to try a kind of dark pop art. 

The building in the picture is actually a hotel but it really looked scary and even repulsing once I edited it, which I wasn't expecting by using such vivid colors. I have to admit that they are quite dark too but still it almost looks like a haunted manor now! I also tried to emphasize the instability of the montage by defeating the expected symmetry of it. As you can see the the two pictures at the top aren't symmetric while the two others below definitely are.

I hope you'll like it!

Have a nice week and see you soon :D
