One. Two. Three. Sisters.

"Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there."

Last Christmas, I had a wonderful session with the Saddul sisters. They were three gorgeous girls with bright smiles and distinctive personalities and I feel so lucky to have contributed to help them make a beautiful gift to their parents. Because of time constraints, I totally forgot to post a few pictures from the shoot but here they are now:

Ces filles qui osent la vague . . .

Girls who dare to ride the waves... There are but a few girls in Mauritius who have made of surf, their passion, but for Defi Life magazine, Patrick Hilbert decided to dedicate an article to those girls who took up that demanding discipline. As surfers say, "no waves, no glory". So those girls have given everything they can afford to their passion and almost everyday, they are out checking the wind and the waves in Tamarin Bay, paddling out. And whether it is a bad day surfing, it's still better than a good day working, for the surfer out in the water is the one having the most fun tackling those waves, we can only dream of riding like Jay Moriarity in Chasing Mavericks (I hope you've seen the movie!).

For Defi Life magazine latest issue, I have had the chance to photograph 4 incredible girls - Anne-Sophie Paul, Aurelie Chateau, Eve Isambourg and Kristen Botha. My thanks go to Patrick & Lovela Hilbert and Michael Lam for their assistance during those shoots!

Here are some pictures from my various sessions with them (too bad we got no waves for them to ride the day of the shooting).
