He uses the Mamiya 6/ 7 and does his own processing ,, he is a unique humble French photographer , we have been friends since 2007 ,, I had gone to meet him at his hotel and we chatted I wanted him to come to shoot GSB Seva Mandal but he was in bad shape tired after shooting the Nasikh Kumbh Mela 2015 so I left him to nurse his beer at Cafe Modegar and set out to shoot the GSB.
Laurent is a freelance photographer , he has shot the eunuch festival Koovagam several times , most of the Hindu Jain festivals Moharam with me in Lucknow ,,he has shot most of the Kumbhs and Marriamenn body piercing festivals down south.
But now he wants me to take him to Makanpur next year to shoot the Malang,,,
Yesterday he came to see me at Bandra , he bought a backdrop he does not use flash or light meter and shot my portraits in my building on his Mamiya 6/7 .he shot Advocate Ashish Shelars Ganpati Pandal and finally I dtopped him in the bus going to town.. he missed my granddaughters Marziya and Nerjis both on a holiday with their parents ,,
He tried a lot to convince me a lot to come to France but I refused his offer ,,I am happy in India I told him..
