Il fallait qu&#8217;on se voit pour quelques questions, je lui ai demandé ce petit service de concocter ma bio (<a title="The Ghost Writer - HD trailer" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_AerBW0EcI" target="_blank">il devrait sans doute se méfier</a>). Une bio, c&#8217;est le genre de trucs dont j&#8217;ai besoin pour des dossiers d&#8217;expo, etc., mais qui me fait ch*** à un point… pfiu. Bref, il y recevait la <a title="Zaz - myspace" href="http://www.myspace.com/zazofficiel" target="_blank">chanteuse Zaz</a>, alors j&#8217;en ai profité pour faire quelques images, comme ça, pour le plaisir… ça fait pas de mal, parfois, de faire des photos sans qu&#8217;elles soient commandées.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I got interested in Think Tank&#8217;s products, though I haven&#8217;t bought any of their bags… yet. Anyway, they had this great idea, <a title="Think Tank / Free Information – Download PDF’s" href="http://www.thinktankphoto.com/contact.aspx" target="_blank">distributing informational PDFs</a>, from the problems you meet when travelling with photo gear to back pain, a health issue most photographers often have to deal with – including myself.</p>
<p>Of course, they use those documents to introduce you with their products, but you can see they understand how professionals work. They have collected some photogs&#8217; best practices, and <a title="Think Tank / Free Information – Download PDF’s" href="http://www.thinktankphoto.com/contact.aspx" target="_blank">it&#8217;s definitely worth reading</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Début février, Jean Abbiateci a relancé son fameux blog, <a title="L'œil du viseur" href="http://oeilduviseur.espritblog.com" target="_blank">L&#8217;œil du Viseur</a> !</p>
<p>Chaque semaine, un photographe raconte sa manière de travailler au travers de l&#8217;une de ses photos… Jean-Marie y est passé la semaine dernière et <a title="Antoine Doyen : « sur cette image, l’attitude et le décor ont du sens »" href="http://bit.ly/a5l2SO" target="_blank">c&#8217;est à mon tour, cette semaine</a> !</p>

<p>Céline Diais, étudiante en journalisme, m&#8217;a interviewé et je lui ai parlé de Wichita, Troy Newman, des pro-life, des pro-choice et j&#8217;ai même tenté d&#8217;expliquer comment je me débrouille <a title="Antoine Doyen : « sur cette image, l’attitude et le décor ont du sens »" href="http://bit.ly/a5l2SO" target="_blank">quand j&#8217;ai peu de temps pour photographier</a>…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, I stumbled upon this beautiful blog dedicated to awful clients: <a title="Clients From Hell" href="http://clientsfromhell.tumblr.com" target="_blank">Clients From Hell</a>. It makes me laugh a lot, for I get a few like those a year, indeed. No later than last December, in fact.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antoine-photoj/3309864840/in/set-72157614348245605/"><img class="size-full wp-image-742 aligncenter" title="lecture buttes chaumont" src="http://www.antoinedoyen.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ad-lecture_buttes_chaumont-blog.jpg" alt="lecture buttes chaumont" width="606" height="403" /></a></p>
<p>Do you remember <a title="Restaurants &amp; Bar pour Télérama Sortir (fév. 2009)" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antoine-photoj/sets/72157614348245605/" target="_blank">I shot Restaurants &amp; Bars for Télérama Sortir last year in February</a>?</p>
<blockquote><p>Dear,</p>
<p>We found your photo here on <a title="Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antoine-photoj/3351698184/" target="_blank">Flickr</a> and like it very much! We &#8211; The [X] Community Commission of [a West-European Capital] &#8211; spread a six monthly, free magazine in [a West-European Capital], with an overview of all cultural activities in the community centres of [a West-European Capital]. You can download the full ‘[name]’ magazine here.</p>
<p>We believe your photo can be useful to us and our readers. Therefore we want to ask you if we could use your photo, free of charge, in our 36 page magazine (72.000 copies, spread in[a West-European Capital])? Of course, the correct copyright will be mentioned with your picture. While we offer no payment for publication, many photographers are pleased to submit their photos, as ‘[name-of-the-magazine]’ give their work recognition and exposure in[a West-European Capital], and is free of charge to readers.</p>
<p>Our submission deadline is Monday, December 7. If you’d agree with our demand, can you send us as early as possible a high-res version of the photo (300 dpi) to xxx@yahoo.com ?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>Best regards,<br />
The [name-of-the-magazine] team</p></blockquote>
<p>So? What&#8217;s my statement here? Well, obviously, I should be happy with this great chance to get screwed! Look: &#8220;the correct copyright will be mentioned with your picture&#8221; (well it&#8217;s the law, honey…). Besides, &#8220;While [they] offer no payment for publication, many photographers are pleased to submit their photos, as ‘[name-of-the-magazine]’ give their work recognition and exposure&#8221;! <strong>many photographers are pleased</strong> ?!! Damned fools…</p>
<p>You know what? I do work on assignments for Le Monde, Monocle, Vibrations, etc. Does that get me visibility? it does! and, you know what? I get paid! Yeah. Sounds incredible. But no new client calls after seing your picture in a paper… it&#8217;s quite rare, in fact. But I use those pieces of work to contact new clients, like &#8220;hey look at what I do blah blah blah&#8221;.</p>
<p>Please, thou who give your pictures away to such people as [name-of-the-magazine] which happens to publish in [a West-European Capital]: Stop it! you&#8217;re doing nothing but getting ripped off, in addition to harming the whole industry… Does your gear cost nothing? and your rent? I don&#8217;t think so!</p>
<p>Never ever give away pictures. Always negociate something, even small stuff… make it at least symbolic, when it&#8217;s a small organization, for instance. Did you know it might be the best way to support the profession? yeah yeah yeah…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tu démarres un blog, tu te dis que t&#8217;y mettras toutes tes nouvelles photos et puis… tu ne le fais pas. Même ! à voir mes derniers billets, on me croirait au chômdu, non ? Heureusement, tout va bien – à part les paiements qui hum… non, rien – et c&#8217;est avec plaisir que je reprends goût aux premières raisons d&#8217;être de ce journal : prendre du recul.</p>
<p>En novembre dernier, Michel Lagarde, agent d&#8217;illustrateurs, m&#8217;a <a title="Les illustrateurs de l'agence Agent 002" href="http://www.photoshelter.com/c/antoinedoyen/gallery/Illustrateurs-de-lagence-agent-002-Paris-novembre-2009/G0000P7qkp_yymg8" target="_blank">demandé de photographier les dessinateurs représentés par Agent 002</a> (dont <a title="John Jay Art" href="http://www.johnjayart.com/" target="_blank">John Jay</a>, photo).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshelter.com/c/antoinedoyen/image/I0000XoIT3we2iHI"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-756" title="John Jay" src="http://www.antoinedoyen.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/AD0269-John_Jay_blog2.jpg" alt="John Jay" width="339" height="504" /></a></p>
<p>Il a quand même fallu <a title="Les illustrateurs par Antoine Doyen" href="http://agent002blog.wordpress.com/2009/11/14/les-illustrateurs-par-antoine-doyen/  " target="_blank">qu&#8217;ils en parlent sur leur blog</a> pour que l&#8217;info me revienne par le biais d&#8217;une recherche Google, et voilà que <a title="Illustrateurs de l'agence &quot;agent 002&quot;, Paris, novembre 2009" href="http://www.photoshelter.com/c/antoinedoyen/gallery/Illustrateurs-de-lagence-agent-002-Paris-novembre-2009/G0000P7qkp_yymg8" target="_blank">je me replonge dans la série</a>. C&#8217;était le 14 novembre sur l&#8217;île Saint-Louis, pour quelques dédicaces de <a title="Bellaciao en librairie ! Éditions Michel Lagarde" href="http://www.michel-lagarde.com/blog/2009/11/bellaciao-en-librairie/" target="_blank">Bellaciao</a> à la galerie Arludik. Jolie rencontre avec les illus&#8217;, plutôt sympathiques ! Il pleuvait, j&#8217;ai dû en photographier quelques uns à l&#8217;intérieur et je ne suis pas super satisfait des couleurs… mais à l&#8217;extérieur, jolie lumière de fin d&#8217;après-midi une fois la pluie terminée… il faut que je fasse plus de photos après la pluie.</p>
<p>La série de portraits est visible <a title="Illustrateurs de l'agence &quot;agent 002&quot;, Paris, novembre 2009" href="http://www.photoshelter.com/c/antoinedoyen/gallery/Illustrateurs-de-lagence-agent-002-Paris-novembre-2009/G0000P7qkp_yymg8" target="_blank">sur Photoshelter</a> :</p>

<p>J&#8217;ai mis un peu de temps pour la souhaiter ici, preuve s&#8217;il en est que je ne suis plus si fan de raconter ma vie sur un blog… ça prend du temps ! Et pourtant, j&#8217;en aurais à dire !</p>
<p>Je vous épargne mes bonnes résolutions et autres conneries, vous n&#8217;en avez strictement rien à foutre : il y a les vôtres pour vous occuper. Ceci dit, je suis plutôt ravi de la tournure que prend ce début d&#8217;année : plus de demandes de devis en quinze jours qu&#8217;en six mois l&#8217;an passé, quelques prod&#8217; rémunératrices qui me permettent d&#8217;embaucher ponctuellement des gens, et surtout de penser sereinement à produire d&#8217;autres sujets presse… Et puis, surtout la <a title="Niels Ackermann / Lumix GF1, y a que les cons qui changent pas d’avis" href="http://www.nack.ch/2010/01/24/lumix-gf1-y-a-que-les-cons-qui-changent-pas-davis/" target="_blank">review de Niels à propos de son nouveau jouet, le Panasonic Lumix GF1</a>, m&#8217;encourage à bosser un peu plus chaque jour. Han !</p>
<p>Reste qu&#8217;à comparer ma situation aujourd&#8217;hui à celle d&#8217;il y a un an, je constate que je progresse professionnellement. À force de lire ça et là que la photo se meurt (<a title="Eyedea dépose le bilan" href="http://twitter.com/gholubowicz/status/8281053626" target="_blank">le groupe Eyedea vient de déposer le bilan</a>), que la presse ne veut plus de nous, pigistes &amp; photojournalistes, et qu&#8217;on va tous mourir dans les flammes de l&#8217;enfer, ça fait pas de mal de se rassurer un peu de temps en temps… même si tout peut cesser d&#8217;un jour à l&#8217;autre quand on est photographe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now is time for me to fill my application for 2010 press card. To get it, I must guaranty that 50% percents of my salary comes from editorial assignments. Indeed, I’d say the idea defends pretty good itself. But, wait: it ain’t that easy when it comes to photojournalism…</p>
<p>Press doesn’t pay photo production too well. Do Newspapers send photographers abroad? I doubt it. Does it provide some kind of insurance to a young photog on a feature?    Nope. They d’rather see the essay once it’s been produced. « Provided you go there, we’ll surely get in touch with you ». That’s what I’ve been told when preparing a trip to Western Africa (I aborted the story at the time, though I’m still working on it).</p>
<h3>Working ain’t cost free.</h3>
<p>Photojournalist still get assignments – I do – but it varies a lot, from 150 euros a day, or even 100, to 400 euros. Some might want to compare it to the « SMIC » (French minimum wage) since some employer sometimes do, and it does look good, but we do not earn a single compensation for using our own equipment. Which costs a lot, from camera to computer, etc. Digital dies fast: I’m still using my 96’s Nikon F5, but I’m not so sure, whether I’ll still be using my D700 in 2 years… And I’m not even talking about costs of post-processing, here.</p>
<p>In fact, considering I need a professional book, plus a fast and efficient computer in addition to reliable cameras, I estimate my work costs me around 400 to 500 euros per month. Add a parisian rent there, like 500 euros a months (pretty cheap in fact…) and you see why keeping good relationships with employers is nice.</p>
<h3>The temptation reality of corporate works.</h3>
<p>Should newspapers be a lil’ sick, I wouldn’t say so about corporate edition, though they sometimes tell us about how recessions lowered their budgets. Shooting BNP-Paribas meeting on behalf of… BNP Paribas ain’t the same <a title="Pro-Life's spleen in Wichita" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antoine-photoj/3817974508/in/set-72157607708674351/" target="_blank">as working about abortion issues in Whichita for La Tribune de Genève</a> from an editorial point of view. But it ain’t the same fee, either: negotiating a mere 400 euros for two days in Wichita wasn’t easy, while spending half a day in Louveciennes (1hr from Paris) got me 500. Last week, I was on duty… for myself. I knew no-one would pre-order it. I’m not even sure someone will publish it! Besides, I had to turn over three assignments because I was on field…  so here’s the deal: doing corporate stuffs simply allows you to produce journalistic essays you wouldn’t easily do if you had to rely only on newspapers. Plus, you never know what you’re gonna do, two weeks from now… at least, I don’t.</p>
<h3>…when the press card, on the other hand…</h3>
<p>Of course, choosing to be on duty with corporations doesn’t come easily when you define yourself as a journalist. Truth be told, both works ain’t that different, especially in portraits. The only thing is people must look good with corporate assignments. But it the same with many press magazines… Anyway, though fees aren’t always much higher, I tend to find more work there: you can’t imagine how many magazine the corporate world produces! Right now, I’m still getting more from editorial work, but it might change. Many a photographer (especially in the portrait area) loses his press card those days! They do spend more time on press than anything else, though… at least that’s my case, something like a 3/4 ratio, wether I’m on a personal story or on an assignment. <a title="Meeting picture editors" href="http://www.antoinedoyen.net/blog/2009/06/10/meeting-picture-editors/" target="_blank">During my stay in New York in June</a>, I did nothing but working on the editorial side: meeting picture editors, building small stories with <a title="Clémentine Gallot" href="http://twitter.com/clementineNYC" target="_blank">Clémentine Gallot</a>… Most of them won’t ever be published, like this story about the 405 club… that some magazine took without the pictures (toh!). I got <a title="Safdie Brothers by Antoine Doyen" href="http://www.photoshelter.com/c/antoinedoyen/gallery/Josh-and-Benny-Safdie-in-New-York-June-2009/G0000BQBCvulttpY" target="_blank">a portrait with the Safdie brothers</a> to be published <a title="Trois Couleurs - hors-série" href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=219931871456&amp;ref=ts" target="_blank">in Trois Couleurs</a>, though.</p>
<p>Corporate photography doesn’t hurt my feelings. At worst, they’re plain illustrative. At the best, they are good stories that could be featured in an actual newspapers. Meanwhile, <a href="http://www.ccijp.net/">CCIJP</a> (commission for the french press card) still only care about about revenues… Time? oh! they don’t care…</p>
<p>It would definitely worry me, to lose the goddamn press card. Not that I care about free entrance to museums… I almost never use it, but it guaranties my status as a professional journo. Not bearing it could raise some silly questions about who I am.</p>
<p>What about you? what about working outside France? How do you organise?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samedi dernier, j&#8217;ai participé en tant que coach à la <a title="Lense Print Party with Epson" href="http://www.lense.fr/2009/09/21/lense-print-party-with-epson-un-grand-merci-a-vous/" target="_blank">Lense Party</a> ! Le thème ? Portrait serré d&#8217;inconnus au 50 mm.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antoined/sets/72157622415312276/"><img class="size-full wp-image-692 aligncenter" title="lense party" src="http://www.antoinedoyen.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ad070-lense_party-blog.jpg" alt="lense party" width="608" height="403" /></a></p>
<p>Je me demandais un peu qui j&#8217;allais  y trouver : des geeks, des ados voire pire, des fans de macro ? Rien de cela ! Je remercie volontiers <a href="http://xuoan.com/" target="_blank">Xuoan</a> de m&#8217;avoir proposé l&#8217;aventure, j&#8217;ai trouvé très chouette de &#8220;coacher&#8221; des amateurs de photos (ci-dessus).</p>
<p>Cette dernière année, à <a title="Antoine Doyen - Portraits" href="http://antoinedoyen.net/#/PORTFOLIO/portraits/1" target="_blank">faire de plus en plus de portraits</a>, je me suis évidemment (re)posé pas mal de questions : à quelle distance se placer ? Comment cadrer ? Comment isoler son sujet ? Pourquoi cet angle et pas un autre ? …et en fait : qu&#8217;est-ce qu&#8217;un portrait ?</p>
<p>Du coup, ces questions, j&#8217;en ai fait des exercices de style pour <a title="Céline / Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/celk19/">Céline</a>, <a title="Yeah Yeah Blog / Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yeahyeahblog/" target="_blank">Alain</a>, <a title="Swingstarz / Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39273917@N05/" target="_blank">Adrien</a>, <a title="Pierre-Jean / Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pidjay/" target="_blank">Pierre-Jean</a> et <a title="Patrick Chalier" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrickchalier/" target="_blank">Patrick</a> !</p>
<p>14h20, j&#8217;étais aux Halles, devant l&#8217;église Saint-Eustache… Pas loin de 200 (!) Lensers attendaient de partir à l&#8217;aventure… Hop ! Groupe 4 (5 ?), nous sommes six et je les emmène place de la Bourse. On prend un verre, je leur pose donc la question (rappel pour les étourdis : &#8220;qu&#8217;est-ce qu&#8217;un portrait ?&#8221;) et puis, sans leur donner de réponse toute faite, on part sur les Grands Boulevards…</p>
<h3>Et toi, tu fais comment ?</h3>
<p>On commence par 25 min libres, seul ou en binôme : chacun doit me rapporter un portrait au hasard. Certains ont une préférence pour les jolies filles, d&#8217;autres pour les vieux types… on regarde au coin de la rue et on dé-briefe. Parce qu&#8217;une fois qu&#8217;on a compris ce qu&#8217;est un portrait dans les grandes lignes (i.e. faire en sorte que le cadre raconte un peu la personne photographiée), on peut y aller ! Je m&#8217;amuse à lancer des contraintes toutes les demi-heures, telles qu&#8217;une photo au 1/25e pour jouer sur les flous de mouvement, ou alors une photo où le sujet est assis, ou encore une photo sur fond uni… voire <a title="boutique / swingstarz / Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39273917@N05/3948256095/" target="_blank">photographier une boutique et son commerçant</a>.</p>
<p>Au fil de l&#8217;après-midi, je vois chacun progresser et c&#8217;est assez grisant que deux, trois conseils puisse autant aider. Forcément, j&#8217;ai fini par me rappeler <a title="Le sexe au Moyen-Âge après un régime sous les lumières." href="http://www.antoinedoyen.net/blog/2007/12/29/le-sexe-au-moyen-age-apres-un-regime-sous-les-lumieres-de-paris/" target="_blank">les exercices de Lorenzo</a>.</p>
<h3>Le soir : Print Party avec Epson !</h3>
<p>Ok, le concept de &#8220;Print Party&#8221; peut paraître étrange… en tout cas, moi, quand je fais la fête avec des potes, on ne passe pas la soirée à lancer des tirages. N&#8217;empêche, après 3 ou 4 heures à gambader dans Paris, une fois installé à l&#8217;Open Bar du Loft Roquette, j&#8217;ai laissé volontiers les &#8220;Lensers&#8221; se ruer sur les imprimantes installées par Epson pour l&#8217;occasion… de l&#8217;A4 au traceur en passant par l&#8217;A3, j&#8217;avoue ! ça m&#8217;a fait de l&#8217;œil mais finalement, j&#8217;étais juste crevé… même avant le punch.</p>
<p>Évidemment, j&#8217;ai pris <a title="Lense Party / Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antoined/sets/72157622415312276/  " target="_blank">quelques photos visibles sur Flickr</a>, et je serai ravi de remettre ça pour la prochaine Lense Party !</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The way I got to <a title="Backstage, Antoine Doyen shooting portraits" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antoine-photoj/sets/72157622117350406/" target="_blank">shooting this year&#8217;s Virgin Radio &amp; RFM radio hosts</a> is worth telling! It might rise some interest among those of you starting in the business, I guess. Back in November 2008, the guy below emailed me about my work. I didn&#8217;t know this would shape the following year.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-682" title="Sam Zniber" src="http://www.antoinedoyen.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ad20090827-024-Sam_Zniber-BLOG.jpg" alt="Sam Zniber" width="335" height="504" /></p>
<h3>Get your work out!</h3>
<p>Le Monde had assigned me to shoot <a title="Laurent Storch" href="http://www.antoinedoyen.net/blog/2008/09/22/visa-a-deja-vingt-ans…-et-moi-je-ne-fais-que-commencer/" target="_blank">TF1&#8242;s Laurent Storch</a>. Eventually, they didn&#8217;t publish it. I wrote a<a title="Laurent Storch" href="http://www.antoinedoyen.net/blog/2008/09/22/visa-a-deja-vingt-ans…-et-moi-je-ne-fais-que-commencer/" target="_blank"> note about it</a>, though. Next thing I know, Sam Zniber (photo), RFM &amp; Virgin Radio&#8217;s program director, founds out about it, writes me a couple of lines about how he likes some of my pictures, how we might work together some times. This was November 2008. Answered him right away, of course… I was having my first interesting gigs (Le Monde, Challenges, etc.), but I knew I also needed corporate assignment to pay for my equipment and stuffs.</p>
<p>No news for a few months. I was about to forget it when I received a call from Virgin Radio&#8217;s press office in February: I was asked to shoot &amp; follow <a title="Cauet" href="http://www.antoinedoyen.net/blog/2009/03/04/cauet-a-strasbourg-ou-le-plaisir-des-voies-detournees/" target="_blank">radio host Cauet during a special event in Strasbourg</a>! Sure, why not?</p>
<p>This assignment gave me more confidence. Not only did I land a few other jobs with them before actually shooting their radio hosts, but I happened to be a little more straight-forward when meeting press photo editors. The whole thing got me on the rails, indeed.</p>
<p>Of course, I&#8217;m now a tad less shy when it comes to letting my work out. It seems unpublished photographs can help you having published ones! Now, if you excuse me, I must get my stuffs together to meet more &amp; more press…</p>
