Travellers Paris

The Travellers club in Paris had hired myself and Christiane deNicolay Mazery to make some photographs of the club, The Hotel Particulier they have is the Hotel Paiva, a beautiful house at 25 Champs-Elysees Paris 8eme.

They loved our presentation so much that we finally made a book for them, very nice book, unfortunately its only for the members and people who visit the house can buy it.

Fabrice Brunet

I have been photographing the sculpture Fabrice Brunet for quite a while now. He makes the most amazing figures sometimes larger than life.

He burns the piece to give the exterior a darker surface, in a ceremony after the sun has set
