"Nice has to be one of the prettiest cities in France. It is an inexhaustible source for street photography at whichever time of the year. It’s summer now and, of course, there are loads of people out and about, especially on the beaches, which often leads to rather surreal images, like the tourist with his inflatable swan on the Promenade des Anglais. My favorite season is winter, when all the holidaymakers are gone! It’s easier to isolate my subjects and the light is softer.
I generally use the BlacKeys SuperGrain film coupled with the John S lens."
