Manouk and Bilitis

Jamais plus.

L’amour fut, l’amour est,
Au sein des arbres noirs,
Les tendres marronniers
Aux fleurs claires, le soir.
L’amour est, l’amour fou
Ce qui fuit, point ne fut.
Bleu, gris et blanc, le ciel
De pluie au grand soleil.
L’amour était, il fut,
Ne sera jamais plus.

Olivier Mathieu

An Evening at the Paddocks


During our Summer in South France Max and the girls stayed at a beautiful house from the 1920’s. It was surrounded by meadows and one day Yuna discovered some horse stables that belonged to a stud farm not far away. As you can imagine the girls where instantly hooked and so they went to ask the owner if it was possible to visit the horses.

The owners where very nice and humble people and so they invited them to their paddocks.
Max and the models thank them for their hospitality. It was an unforgettable experience.

It was a beautiful sunny evening when they arrived. A mild breeze was rushing through the treetops and the light was just right for some splendid romantic photos. The girls took Lulu and Garfield, the owner’s dog and cat, straight to their hearts and especially Maria and Bilitis showed their talent in communicating with the animals. The horses had blind trust into them and everything was in total harmony.

Girls and horses are a beautiful motive and we think you will agree that Max has once again shown his talent for genuine film photography. We hope you enjoy this new set of photos and the video.

For the video Max chose “Promenade” a song from Francis Lai written for David Hamilton’s film Bilitis

Homage to David


Today is the death anniversary of one of the most controversial photo artists in modern time, David Hamilton.
Possibly also one of the most misunderstood and wrongly accused artists ever. If you want to learn more about all this we invite you to read the Blog of Olivier Mathieu who has the most profound knowledge about David Hamilton. His site also gives you an insight into the art of this true master of light.

To celebrate this day Max has asked us to publish a clip with photos as a homage to David Hamilton. They express Max’s thankfulness to David who helped him a lot to perfect his talent through his critique. Max used to regularly show his pictures to the grand master of light and some of the photos can be seen as exercise pieces of a student honoring the art of his master. All pictures presented in this clip have been picked out of Max’s portfolio by David Hamilton himself and have been rated as very well done.

Max chose “L’heure bleue” from Francis Lai, who also wrote the music for David Hamiltons Film “Bilitis”, to accompany his pictures.

The tempting beauty of Maria and Bilitis


Die Sonne glänzt, es blühen die Gefilde,
Die Tage kommen blütenreich und milde,
Der Abend blüht hinzu, und helle Tage gehen
Vom Himmel abwärts, wo die Tag entstehen

Friedrich Hölderlin (1770-1843)

Maria and Bilitis took the old hayfield path to the baker to get some baguette for break first.
On their way back they plucked some grass for a nice wild flower bouquet.
The sun was already strong and they both couldn’t resist to feel the warmth on their naked skin.
With their dresses lowered and bare feet they enjoyed gathering the grass.
Later that day they went to the meadow at the hidden lake to relish the last rays of the day.

There are only a few girls which are of such a divine beauty like Maria and Bilitis are.

You can see more pictures of Bilitis and Maria in the gallery “jeunes filles”
