Welcoming message by Jean-Pierre Bal                                         en français

 

Hello!

 

Thanks to this "Venice 2015" photo-selection, the opportunity is offered to you of getting to meet Lara, who became the muse and new face of Belmal Malletier.

 

For this trip and pictures' story I decided to trade my malletier tools for those of a photographer; equipped with my humble cameras, including that of my grandfather I should say. As Lara and I took in turns the role of the artistic co-creation, the discovery of that extraordinary city was an absolute premiere for her, while I was once more setting foot on that unforgettable Venetian soil. 

 

Additional feature: below each photo you will find the small dialogue, the few sentences that were exchanged between the two main 'actors' of the photo-sessions. We hope that you will like it.  Now, step aboard our gondola, accompany us!
