W
ell, “I have a great
admiration for the
work of Monsieur
Yves Saint Laurent.
Who I liked so much
as a person, he was a brilliant, cre-
ative and a humble artist. Always
gentle and generous at the same
time. Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent
told me about his passion for Mar-
rakech, that he loved ‘the people,
the colors, The light, the art de vivre
and how it all comes together. So,
hereby I captured the iconic French
actress Madame Catherine Deneuve,
with whom Yves Saint Laurent had
worked with since the late 80’s. In-
spired by the natural light, I used a
photographic technique called C-41,
a process through which I could
make my images more vivid.
I guess, this would be it, when my
pictures were showcased at the
YSL Museum, Marrakech. I was
covered for the same by The NY
Times, and the Sotheby’s, London.
Therefore, it’s more than one rea-
son as to why it is so very dear to
me.....
