Environmentally Sustainable Creche
I was commissioned by EnvirobatBDM to photograph a series of images of environmentally sustainable buildings in Provence. the images were to be published in a book.
Unfortunately the building was experiencing some “teething problems” such as the vegetation on planted roof and living wall had died, as had the surrounding grassland, due to lack of water.
It was also probably the hottest day of the year, so we were all struggling a bit!
Eco School
I was commissioned by EnvirobatBDM to take a series pictures for a book which they were preparing to showcase the environmentally sustainable buildings on which they had worked.
The buildings were spread all over the region; this particular project was a school in Guillestre, Provence.
The photographs needed to highlight the architecture behind the recently built environmentally sustainable extension, and I wanted to show how the architectural forms fitted the mountainous landscape.
Many thanks to the school and library staff for their warm welcome – especially as it was the last day of term before the summer holiday began!
La Baleine à Cabosse
La Baleine à Cabosse is a chocolate cafe in Marseille selling handmade chocolate and drinks.

Sporting Photoshoot
I met Jord whilst photographing an event in Marseille. We arranged to do a photoshoot to create a set of images for his modelling portfolio that showed that he could do ‘action’, not just static modelling.
We did the photoshoot in an abandoned fort in the Calanques on the outskirts of Marseille, overlooking the bay and the Ile de Frioul.

Grand Hotel Beauveau, Marseille – les Suites
The beautiful Grand Hotel Beauveau in the Vieux Port of Marseille needed photos of its two new suites, and its luxury Provençal breakfast.
Commissioned by the dynamic design & communications agency Trait Simple, I spent the day photographing the breakfast and the suites, finishing the day with a fun sunset photoshoot on the balcony. I am pleased to say that the images appear extensively on the Accor Hotels website, and have been used in their international communications campaigns.
Many thanks to Céline Basset and the team at Trait Simple for their confidence, and the management and staff at the Grand Hotel Beauveau for all their hard work on the day.

TOTEM Mobi
TOTEM Mobi is a rapidly growing start-up which provides shared low-impact transport solutions.
Using an app you geolocalise the nearest parked Renault Twizy, then unlock it using your smartphone. At the end of your journey simply park the Twizy in a safe place – job done!
I was delighted to work with Gregoire at TOTEM Mobi to take a series of pictures which were used in social media and internet communications for the brand.
We shot two types of image – the Twizy in action using in-camera motion blur (no photoshop effects!), and the the Twizy in town.
The Entrance
The entrance to the office – your first and last impression of your day at work.
I was thrilled to work with Isabelle Lemoine to photograph her design work for the entrance to an office block – which given the number of people passing through the foyer proved to be harder than expected!
With a bit of patience we were able to capture a series of images which showed her work in the best light.
Office Design
Good design is an essential part of an effective office environment.
I was blessed to be able to photograph the work of interior designers Emmanuel Naapuri and Isabelle Lemoine who worked on the interior of this co-working space in the centre of Marseille.
