Bonjour Paris
So it’s been a month since my last update (bad, I know) and I’ve been in Paris for the past 10 days. Such a beautiful city, but incredibly cold in the winter. I’ll remember to avoid coming to Europe in the dead of winter the next time (-3ºC outside right now!).
What am I doing in Paris? I decided to take an extended vacation and do some shoots at the same time. Problem is, I plan to do most of it outdoors on location but I don’t think the team will appreciate that very much so I’ll have to find a way around it. Lots of blankets and flasks of hot coffee?
My new years here was a bit of a bummer, I was feeling sick and fell asleep at 11 pm. So much for a crazy new years in the city of lights!
I’ve been having lots of fun with Chrysan, my roomie and she’s been dragging me out to as many places as possible. Funnily enough, I’ve not been to the Eiffel tower yet (to come, soon maybe?).
Life here is good, it’s simple, the French way of living is extremely laid back in my opinion. Besides the odd uptight Parisian, most of the people here are very nice and friendly. They approach everything with a c’est-la-vie attitude, sometimes a bit frustrating but other times a reminder to take everything with a pinch of salt.
Photos to come soon.
p.s. It snowed today and I’m trying to find every reason to stay indoors in my nice cosy room. Not good!

Oh I completely understand, weatherly constraints on the European horizon. It was almost impossible for me to pull a shoot together in London ( where at one point it was -10 outside!). But I eventually got the models to freeze themselves silly, haha.
Beautiful pictures from Paris, btw! I see the shoots turned out splendid as well. Great job, Michele!
