07/09/2022 - Box HELIOG Atelier Fanny Boucher

Entering Fanny Boucher’s workshop is for me like entering my neighborhood bakery to buy myself a plain meringue with my pocket money, at the age when my father introduced me to the principles of film development in the cellar of our building converted into a laboratory, bathed in inactinic light and the strong smell of the developer: the hanging prints that draw the eye, the scent of ink that captivates, the machines that impress, the gesture that sublimates.

 

I am very proud to have the privilege of collaborating with Héliog studio for the promotion of the projects developed as part of the support of the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation, following the award in 2020 of the prestigious Liliane Bettencourt Prize for the Intelligence of the hand, Exceptional talent category, for the work Arboris, photogravure wall composition two meters high.

 

Here, therefore, is the presentation of a box containing 4 samples of photogravure for interior decoration and design.

 

Thanks to Isabelle de Lasteyrie from the Agence d’Isabelle at the origin of this collaboration.

20/10/2020 - Catalog en fil, d’Indienne…

It is always a real pleasure to see your photographic work printed rather than on a screen! For the creation of this catalog of the brand en fil, d’Indienne…, more than 700 images were produced in a few days in the privacy of a Parisian apartment and under the hot sun of the Mas des Songes in Provence, France.
Thank you very much to Nicolas Bertrand for his incredible artistic direction, and especially to Fabrice Cottet for his renewed confidence for so many years, without forgetting Sophie and Patrick Leveau for the flawless support and the exemplary logistic.

22/05/2019 - Rose Saneuil’s miniature marquetry

More than 200 pieces of a dozen different materials assembled on a disc no larger than a watch dial: this is the incredible result of the work of the French creator in marquetry Rose Saneuil to discover at the trade show Revelations which is held at the Grand Palais in Paris from 23 to 26 May 2019.

 

The difficulty in shooting these miniature marquetries was in highlighting the diversity of materials that react very singularly to the light. The format of the animated image was then imposed at the expense of the still image that reached its limits here.

 

These mini videos were created by the assembly of several dozens of high-definition digital photographs, produced as part of a partnership with Packshot Creator, well described in this article.

 

Or when the image is serving the product.
