Hello, my friends!
A quick post to give you my latest news:
1. Harajuku Festival
The Harajuku Festival photos are currently being edited, and I have to say that some of them are really beautiful!
As I mentioned in my previous post, I’m working on the photos from the programmed photoshoots first, while also editing photos of the new people who have started following me on Instagram. The photos of my “old” friends will come a little later — they know I always end up getting to them eventually!
So far, I’ve completed around 40% of the total, and I expect to have everything finished just before Paris Manga.
I’ll also be using some of the Harajuku photos as part of the revamp of this website, and I’ll let you know when the new version is ready!
2. Paris Manga
I wasn't sure whether I would attend Paris Manga this time, but since I do want to see some friends and, of course, photograph some great cosplays, I finally decided to go!
I’ll be offering one free long-format photoshoot on Sunday, under a few conditions:
You must be 18 or older.
You must not have had a long-format photoshoot with me before — this should be our first long-format collaboration.
You should be available early enough in the morning, before the convention gets too crowded.
You should have an interesting cosplay project and send me some details about it.
I will make the final selection. If two projects are equally interesting, I may decide to do both!
So, if you’re interested, feel free to contact me with your project!
3. Wedding photography
In two weeks, I’ll be photographing my very first wedding!
I’ve already started preparing for it, and I’m really looking forward to this new experience. I’ll keep you updated and, of course, tell you more about it afterwards.
4. Corrida de Noël
In Issy-les-Moulineaux, where I live, there is a yearly race called the Corrida de Noël. This year, it will take place on December 13th, and thousands of people will take part, many of them dressed as Christmas-themed characters. YOU SHOULD COME to watch or even to participate, it’s really fun!
And I have some great news: this year, I’ve been accredited as one of the official photographers of the event!
I’m really happy about this opportunity. I just hope the weather will be kind to us! I’ll definitely share some of my favourite photos here on the blog and on my new Instagram account, @kelkadi19_portraits.
Well, that’s it for now!
I’ll be back next week with more news, so stay tuned!
Take care,
Khaled
