Two and a half minutes with the fantastic Laure. (Patreon)

Spent a few days in oven-hot Paris, and the jump from pleasantly cool Dublin was quite a shock. Navigating the concrete jungle wasn't always easy - although Paris is undeniably beautiful (it's just a shame it doesn't have a sea 😉).

The real highlight of the trip, however, was this incredible shoot with Laure. She had been high on my list of dream collaborators for a long time, and finally working together exceeded every expectation. I knew it would be fun, but I never imagined it would be this good.

Laure is warm, creative, genuinely engaged, and fully present throughout the entire process. We talked about how much of a difference it makes when someone approaches this work with real passion and enthusiasm. That dedication shows in the final images - and Laure has it in abundance.

Without a doubt, this was one of my favourite shoots to date, and Laure has become one of my favourite models I've ever worked with. I sincerely hope our paths cross again for another collaboration someday.
