About the event

Earlier this year in May I had my first event at this location and it was a huge success! Now I organise a new one in September. It’s a photo event in South of France, set in a private historic stone house just outside of Nice. The event includes 3 shooting days, a 4-night stay with your own private room at the property. All meals and drinks included!

The location is intentionally discreet — a characterful Provençal property on the road leading up to Saint-Paul-de-Vence, surrounded by texture, light, and the quiet rhythm of the Mediterranean. Old stone walls, terraces, shaded interiors, and open views create a setting that feels lived-in rather than staged.

It will be a small group of 6 photographers and 3 carefully chosen models. Shared meals, long conversations, and evenings over a glass of wine are as much part of the experience as the photography itself. This is an event away from studios and hotels — closer to a temporary life than an event. Following the spirit of my previous events, this edition remains intimate, collaborative, and experience-led — shaped by place, people, and time rather than production.

Our first model is the amazing Kelly Collins. She just lost her Instagram account so I can’t add her link. She is usually not available for shoots or events like this so it’s an exclusive opportunity to work with her here. I worked with her several times and I can promise she is fantastic!

The second model is Kira. We worked together on an event in Netherlands earlier this year. She is great with posing but she is also a very fun and pleasant person which is important on this kind of event.

Model nr 3 is not confirmed yet. I’m currently looking for someone and I hope to have the confirmation within a few days from now. You can still block a spot with any commitment to pay until I have found the last model.

Location

Here are a few shots of the property. As mentioned earlier all participants will get their own room at the property. The location is just 15 minutes away from the Nice airport and it’s very easy to get an Uber there.

Knowledge and equipment

To participate, no special knowledge or skill level is required; however, you must be able to shoot independently most of the time. While I'll be there to help and provide advice as needed, it's essential for you to operate without continual assistance. When it comes to equipment, you don't need much. I suggest lenses of 50mm, 85mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm, or similar. Ideally, your lens should have a focal length between 50mm and less than 100mm. As we'll be shooting in natural light, it's beneficial to have a prime lens with a large maximum aperture or a zoom lens with a 2.8 aperture.
