For the Paris native Nicolas Rachline, photography is about capturing moments of fleeting beauty. “Beauty moves me beyond words,” the self-proclaimed Romantic tells me over the phone from his home in Brussels. “I am a rather nostalgic person, which is what Romanticism is all about.”
Rachline’s background is in television, but he became disillusioned with the industry in the 90s and started doing, well, nothing. He was living, he says, “la dolce vita, la bella vita.” Alas, the dolce vita doesn’t pay the bills, and in 2008 Rachline founded the fashion magazine Above.
