Podcasting Is Booming. Will Hollywood Help or Hurt Its Future? A frothy adaptation market is just one sign of the rapid evolution of the industry. But some worry that big money will stifle the D.I.Y. spirit that has driven much of its success.

From this morning on, will can find Holy Cow in a 6 pages publication @ Nouvel Obs French weekly Magazine.  Only France has bought this year 1.693,19 tons of Brazilian meat.  Holy Cow is an unprecedented work and the numbers involving the issue are internationally very meaningful.   

This Stern assignment is a pearl and I'm very very happy to share it with you. The story had finally reached 10 pages publications instead of the 6 preview at the beggining.  Holy Cow is a project I'm developping since 2013. Stern assigned me to take the Story into a second step, giving me total freedom to create the Story as I've been doing before. And the result is here!  I was also fortunate to have the great writer Jan Christoph Wiechmann together in this adventure.  Holy Cow touches an important issue of our actuality, our rising consumption of meat and how Brazil...

Patrick Viveret is a French philosopher that questions our contemporary life in consumerism, apropriation of time and ecology. The portraits I've done for M Magazine / Le Monde is now online with the interview. I suggest the reading. M. Viveret is presenting us the possibility of chosing how to live the time and how to pass it posivelly, with conscience.  LINK 

I'm very happy that First Generation is also on The New York Times today's news paper. And it is a real honour for me to have the project together with the newspaper's tribute to the great photographer Mary Hellen Mark, who sadly passed away the last 25th Mai. She was an incredible force for Photography and a source of inspiration for many photographers and, I daresay, women photographers. Thank you   Gaia Tripoli   for the beautiful edit.

I'm really happy to share with you the publication of my (ongoing) work First Generation at NY Times Lens Blog  I would like to thank Whitney Richardson for the great edit and interview. Having the work on Lens is a great motivation to keep on going with the project.  Miscigenation in a inscipient process in France and Afro-French women have a very important place in this process. I hope the project will contribute to a better comprehention of this issue. 

I'll be Milan until the 16th March, presenting the last edition of my ongoing project First Generation  at the last session of the  VII Agency Masterclass.   We invite all those who are in town to come see the final projects' presentation next Sunday 15th, 18h, at Fabrica del Vapore.
