A Dreamlike Workshop Experience in Paris with Fer Juaristi
This past week has been nothing short of surreal, a moment in my professional life that felt like living in a daydream. I had the unparalleled opportunity to travel to the heart of Paris, accompanied by one of my dearest friends, Fer Juaristi. He is like a brother to me, and together, we embarked on a journey that was both a personal and professional milestone.

The Journey Begins
The main reason for our trip to France was a wedding I had in Toulouse, and Fer Juaristi tagged along for the experience. What made the trip even more special was the opportunity to lead a workshop in Paris organized by the incredible Parisian photographer Sophie Delaveau. Sophie organized this great workshop and found the perfect location for our shooting at the MK2 Bibliothèque, adding a magical touch to our creative endeavor.
