Hey! I know this is where you recommend fics, but are there any books/novels you highly recommend that you'd be willing to share?
What a great question! Here are some of the battered books on my shelf who’s worn covers contain some of my all time favorite stories <3
Fantasy - The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer, The Princess Bride by William Goldman (the one instance where the movie is just as good as the original book) and The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
Detective Fiction - Jackaby Series by William Ritter (think Sherlock and Doctor Who combined, then add mythical creatures)
Science Fiction - Space Drifters Series by Paul Regnier, the novelization of Star Trek Into Darkness (I’ve learned so much about how to write fight scenes from this book)
Non-Fiction - The Dragon Behind The Glass by Emily Voigt, What’s So Funny? by Tim Conway (his hilarious memoir)
Thank you for reaching out, I hope this list has at least one book that you’ll enjoy :)

Studio Visit: Emilie Régnier
In her Passport West Africa series, Haitian-Canadian photographer Emilie Régnier lets her subjects fashion their own identities for passport-style photos. The result is a colorful array of portraits that illustrate the diverse identities of West African youth. Much like French filmmaker Jean Rouch’s method of shared anthropology, in which the process of filmmaking could directly provoke subjects to express their inner feeling, Régnier’s practice gives her subjects the space to perform before the camera, staging dramatic versions of themselves and imagining alternative ways of engaging with the world.
This playful performativity shines through another of her portrait series, in which she photographs subjects who wear leopard print: a variable symbol of power, wealth, eccentricity, sophistication and sometimes tackiness. For Régnier, the print also contains a transnational message, as it has traveled between the African continent and the West.
In her more recent work, she explores her own transnational identity, assembling patchworks of familial faces, all of whom share segments of DNA with her. “Paternal Bloodline” is a checkerboard featuring the artist, and her father, grandfather and great-grandfather. In “Us,” a photo of the artist as a young girl is printed alongside images of her parents. The project is reminiscent of Taryn Simon’s Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters I – XVIII, in which the photographer traveled around the world recording bloodlines and their related stories, mapping relationships among individuals connected by blood, history, and chance. Yet unlike Simon’s portraits, Régnier’s DNA quilts are warm, colorful and personal. As a person of mixed race, Régnier hopes to portray the collision of her world and consolidate two distinct universes. “I am white and black, I am Canadian and Haitian,” she explains. “This project is an attempt to unify my extremes, to finally exist between my father and mother, to reappropriate my own history by creating a family portrait of people I never knew, extending it beyond my immediate relatives.”

Dakar • the city of light
About the project
This is a collaborative project between Émilie Régnier, a Canadian-Haitian art photographer, and Ellen Elias, Swedish-Eritrean stylist custom designer, both based in Paris.
During this year’s biennale, Emilie and Ellen merge their respective creative wit to celebrate the magical light of Dakar.
Ellen worked with native fabrics, adding local textures to the styles she creates. She treaded a patchwork using the eerie of the moment and the daily encounters of a city between see and sand. Emilie, who has been tracking shadows in the Senegalese capital since many years, captured the elegancy of an everchanging city. Both of them have a long and entangled love story with the continent, providing a new layer of understanding to an historical city, craving for a new future.
Dakar is Fashion. On the Avenue de la République, locals become models of an everyday fashion week, making the dilapidated sidewalks a constant catwalk.
So, they browsed around flea markets, biennale exhibitions, cultural places, and urban area such as the Medina, a popular neighborhood of Dakar. They collaborate and engaged with taxi drivers, models, bar tender, horse riders.
Emilie humbly tried to show Dakar’s poetry of light and shadow in its different neighborhoods. Ellen played with glittering details and shin printed fabrication, contrasted with beautiful dark skin tone.
These intimate moments connect us with the people of Dakar. The self-standing former colonial center.
Special credits to the models: Antoine Roger Ndiaye (male) and Grace Nguizi Diaoune (female); the stylist: Ellen Elias is Swedish stylist/costume designer based in Paris. Works with Fashion, Films, commercials, Theatre & music videos, as stylist set designer, costume designer, model etc. For the last 10 year been creating body of work for major brands and artists and to Émilie Régnier.
