PARIS ISSUE 123 Jul 2008

Paris-based French photographer Yves Lavallette is also represented in Germany and in Asia.

Olivier De Larue Dargère, Editor-in-Chief at SOON magazine, called on the photographer's sports discipline for the publication's fifth issue which is dedicated to sport and the Beijing Olympic Games.

"I chose the shot and treated it as an ultra feminine dance subject," commented Yves. "I depicted it by using "clair-obscur", subtle colours and black and white."

A selection from his latest campaign for Thierry Mugler is featured in this edition of Showcase Paris.
