Ines Kozic

"The photography of young French artist Ines Kozic (Instagram) is hard to overlook. Hailing from Lyon, the 22-year-old dancer and professional model, who is currently a postgraduate student at the school of Fine Arts in the French city of Rennes, has been capturing images using her father’s camera from a young age. Kozic’s photography, a body of work of disarming simplicity with a character all of its own, is inspired by fairytales and body ornamentation like jewellery and tattoos." via Yatzer Ines-Kozic-15

Super Flemish by Sacha Goldberger

Star Wars characters and superheroes' pictures would look a little bit different if they lived in the Renaissance era, photographer Sacha Goldberger (Facebook) illustrates in an exhibit. Photographer Sacha Goldberger put cosplayers on display at an exhibit in the Grand Palais in Paris from Nov. 13 to 16. Characters have a Renaissance spin in both the clothing and the ambiance in the photos.

Many of the cosplayers wear ruffs, a ruffled neckpiece men, women, and children wore separately during the latter half of the Renaissance. Dresses are floor-length, and each piece of clothing has detail work in embroidery and patterns, along with puffier sleeves, and many layers of fabric.

Café Saint-Régis on Île Saint-Louis, Paris in Carin Olsson Photography

Few years ago I spotted an awesome photo (Carin Olsson) of Parisian cafe on Tumblr. This year I had a chance to visit Café Saint-Régis on Île Saint-Louis and admire its shabby chick interior designed by famous French decorator Richard Lafond. His studio completed about 50 projects of restaurant interiors in Paris, but still Saint-Regis is my favourite one hence I need to visit them all.

I want to say a little about this photo. It was made by Carin Olsson who spent 4 months in Paris studying language and apparently caught that "l'art de vivre" fever and moved back to the capital of France once she sorted her things in Stockholm on her short return. Today she is working in Paris as a photographer and occasional writer and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. You must check her portfolio online and on Flickr as well as follow her half-million fans Instagram
