The other day, I was invited to the “Prix BMV” photo exhibition @ Paris Photo. The photo contest’s purpose wasn’t to promote new and upcoming talents, it was a “gallery’s competition” for which only photographers who are already established and exhibiting at Paris Photo could get in and win some 12,000€. A way for the galleries to get some money back off their investment (renting space at Paris Photo, damn I hate business). In other words, not likely to see anything new and exciting, which was the case. The theme was so vague that you could exhibit pretty much anything from your collection. It just had to be “a unique moment in your life”. To prove my point, a couple pictures were shot… in the 80′s! Talk about giving the contestants a theme… Anyway, I shot this photo of Tonie Marshall staring at this dog, or the dark skies? She’s like, one of my heroes, from back in the days when she used to be in “Ca c’est Palace”.
