C&S

It’s not often that I do duo portraits, in fact I never do this for the simple reason that a portrait is an intimate and personal process. But for C&S I wanted to make an exception. Both of them are also blasts from the past and fit perfectly in the series: “See you in a different life.
We were colleagues at Duval Guillaume and now, many years later they came back in a completely different way and certainly with much more impact.

Although they will not give themselves that much credit I really owe a lot to them. When I was laying in the hospital last year with serious complaints and decided that I needed to change my life, another good friend pointed me to them. They gave me the right tools and knowledge to create a better version of myself: first physically and sequentially mentally as well. That resulted in gaining back my health, energy, sleep, balance, motivation, focus, lust for life! In the end, that process fine-tuned many things in life that were, i believed, unrelated to each other. Yet now I see the obvious link. Not that it was a walk in the park, but changing habits, breaking health prejudices and going into “common sense” is never easy I guess.

It’s great to meet people who also have an open but critical view on life and don’t go with the flow just because. Of all the things that happened the past months, getting back in touch with them lead to one of the most memorable changes in my life.
I really appreciate them for who they are and maybe even more for who they are not!

Thanks Guys!
