I need to take a passport photo - studio ludovic entrance

.

.

.

I thought it would be 3 easy steps: shooting the picture, taking it, and everyone is happy.

.

.

.

.

.

.

My turn. Photographer shouts in my face: " no no no too pale"

.

.

.

Blush fixation

.

.

.

Photographer asks me to act in a coy way, to which I answer that I would rather just take the picture

.

.

.

Photographer asks me for all the coyness of the world

.

.

.

Imagination break... I imagine myself forcing him to act coy

.

.

.

Photographer forcing me to sit in a twisted way for the photo

.

.

.

The outcome: very fake photos

.

All I wanted was a passport photo! i cry

Yes my darlings. I kid you not. The photographer consciously asked me to “act coy” or “etdalla3 – اتدلّع” in order for the image to turn out ‘beautiful’. When he saw I was reluctant, he asked for “all the dala3 of the world!”. Do I look like someone who would act all cute and coquette for a formal passport photo? HE’S WRONG! I should have known anyway from the photo samples he proudly displayed at the entrance of the studio…

Anyway, what better to start your week with than Brad Mehldau’s genius?

Here’s his piano interpretation of The Beatles’ Blackbird.


Have a lovely day :)
