The Context

Edzing Lingerie is, as its name very clearly indicates, a newly created lingerie brand, whose product prices are intended to be accessible to the public.

“Edzing” meaning “love” in Gabon, it was necessary that the communication is done starting in this direction, without being sexual.

The Project

Desire, passion, sensuality.

These were the key words used to prepare the photo shoot that would be used in the brand’s advertising campaign.

Brainstorming made it possible to prepare visuals and to discard others. In reality, an important part of improvisation and spontaneity make it possible to obtain very beautiful photos.

Les Ways

I used my premises at the time because of the large free space and the ambient light.

The second shoot was done in apartment to give a more credible atmosphere for the buyers.

The purchase of additional lighting and the intervention of a makeup artist became paramount.

The Photo Shooting

The photos were the least retouched possible to show a model as natural as possible; only the colors and the lights were raised.

The logo and the making-of were created by my colleague and friend Alexandre Napoli, aka A2HN.

Brief

L’Epicurien is a chain of stores selling wines, spirits and gourmet products.

Every quarter is published a magazine dealing with new wines, news about products, but also travel and reports.

It was therefore necessary to layout the magazine, following the editorial line while bringing some novelties.

The Challenge

A news magazine can not be written well in advance, and articles are often written at the last minute, so it often took several people to work in an emergency to complete the numbers. I had to adapt to the target and take back the visual identity already in place, while bringing a touch of freshness.

However, upstream work was done to cover any unforeseen events.

The Author

Samar Hachem is a young author of novels. Her first series, begun at the age of thirteen, is called “The Elect and Stellar Stones”.

With five volumes published and a sixth and last volume planned for the summer of 2017, Samar intends to win in French fantasy literature.

The Mission

Already published, Samar was looking for an illustrator to continue publishing her series with an attractive cover.

The manga style was a special request from the client, as well as a creative and fantasy universe.

Although the first two volumes were already published when I knew her, I started working on the cover of his third volume.

Tome 1

During the re-edition of the first volume, the client used my services to illustrate all of her books, in order to maintain a homogeneity among all the volumes. After having told me about the course of events happening in the first volume, it imposed itself to stage the four main characters. I started by offering her some sketches before actually tackling the illustration itself.

Tome 2

For the second volume, the heroine was captured by one of the antagonists of the story. I prefered to focus on the dramatic side of the scene by highlighting the two characters. Everything had to happen in a desert at sunrise with a misty castle in the background. I really wanted the home of the vampire to appear without being too present, so the subject of the illustration remains the two characters and not the scenery.

Tome 3

Chronologically, this is the first cover I made for the client. The characters are in a labyrinth during dawn, when smoky bright-eyed creatures emerge from their lairs to capture the lonely souls of the place. I had to show the characters stuck in the maze, but the scene had to have a little dynamism without losing the mystery.

Tome 4

This fourth volume takes place on the edge of a lake, where there is a mysterious island with a sacred temple within it. The heroine advancing in her quest while having grown up, I had to portray this maturation and this evolution of the story by illustrating a more mature world, always stalked by the main antagonist, without losing the fantasy places .

Les Élus et les Pierres Stellaires are available at Éditions du bout de la rue.

The Context

I made dozens of book covers for different publishers. Most of the time, I began by reading a summary or the text on the back cover to give me a general idea of the book. But very often, I ask more details to the author to grasp the essence of his text. Unfortunately, I do not have time to read the books for which I work, especially since most of the time they are still in the test state being corrected.

Even if the content is good, we can not deny that a book catches the eye thanks to its cover, so it’s a difficult challenge for me because I have to illustrate at best what he is talking about, without revealing too much. I decide either to take a specific scene, or to thematize the book through a single image, either through photomontage or digital painting.
