Hi!
I'm Gaston, a French photographer based in Scotland.
My work represents the mundane. I'm drawn to small gestures, subtle expressions and fleeting interactions between strangers.
I’m an avid tinkerer and a keen collector of quirky cameras.

Can I shoot like Saul Leiter? A Street Photography Challenge
Ever wondered what it's like to shoot like the iconic Saul Leiter? Join me as I embark on a street photography adventure with a Nikon FA and a 105mm f2.5 lens, trying to emulate Leiter's unique approach to colour photography.
Watch me explore the streets of Glasgow in a POV street photography video, tackling layers, negative space, selective focus, and more.
In this challenge, I'll be using Superia 400 and Kodak Portra 800 film to get a subtle colourful palette. I'll share my learnings, insights, and mostly failures as I attempt to capture Leiter's style while maintaining my own identity as a photographer.
Which photographers should I try to emulate next? Drop your suggestions in the comments below!

Come with me as I go on an adventure on the streets of Glasgow to take some pictures with my trusty companion, the Minolta CLE. In the video I'm using two great colour negative film, Fuji's Superia 400 and Kodak's Portra 800. I also took this opportunity to test a quirky new (to me) lens, the MS optics Dagonar 40mm f6.3.
