Architectural Photographer, Provence & French Riviera

Architects, developers, interior designers: from my base near Toulon, I photograph your projects across Provence and the French Riviera. Contemporary architecture, heritage renovation, interior design: an author’s eye in the service of your work.

Architectural photography in the South of France

Architecture deserves photography equal to its design. I document buildings and interiors with technical rigour and sensitivity: contemporary architecture, restored heritage, interior architecture, design and decoration, from Toulon to Marseille and from Hyères to Nice.

My approach

Revealing intent

I don’t simply document a building. I look for its intent, the design thinking behind it, the experience of space it offers: light, volume, materials, atmosphere.

Technique

Architectural photography has its demands: straight verticals and corrected perspectives, managing strong contrasts between inside and out, choosing the hour and the light, composing volumes, and precise post-production.

Understanding the project

Before each shoot I talk with the architect or designer: the concept and its choices, the materials, the strengths to bring out, and how the images will be used (portfolio, communication, competitions, publications).

Selected work

Public and cultural architecture: the former EuropaCorp cinema in Marseille, now Pathé La Joliette, and the Joliette district for Euroméditerranée; the Villa Noailles' Design Parade festival; cultural and museum spaces in the Var.

Contemporary architecture: villas on the French Riviera, residential buildings, offices, timber and bioclimatic architecture.

Interior architecture: high-end residences, hotels, restaurants and shops, showrooms and offices.

The practices Archipel Sud and Michael Zander call on me regularly.

For architects

Practices in the Var and across the region entrust me with their portfolios, their communication and their competition entries.

Completed projects: a delivered building, documented in full
Construction progress: the stages of the build
Portfolio: your professional book
Competitions: images for your submissions
Publications: high-resolution files for the architectural press

I know how to read a project and show its strengths, and I remain available for the end of a build or an urgent delivery.

High-end property

For developers and prestige agencies, I go further than standard property photography: spaces shown at their best, chosen light, careful framing, corrected perspectives, fine retouching. Luxury villas and residences, prestige property, holiday residences, corporate real estate. See also my luxury real estate page.

Interior design

For decorators and interior architects, I photograph atmospheres, materials and textures, objects and styling, with faithful colour: villas and apartments, boutique hotels and guesthouses, restaurants, shops, offices.

Design Parade, Hyères

I photograph Design Parade, the Villa Noailles' international design festival: installations, scenography, contemporary furniture, experimental interior architecture. Work that demands close attention to detail, material and volume.

Where I work

In the Var: Toulon and its surroundings, Hyères, Le Pradet, La Garde, the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, Fréjus, Saint-Raphaël, Brignoles, Draguignan. In the Alpes-Maritimes: Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Monaco. In the Bouches-du-Rhône: Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Cassis, La Ciotat. And elsewhere in France or abroad for larger projects.

From architecture to corporate

The same skills serve corporate photography: offices, factories and showrooms, workspaces, building inaugurations, corporate property.

How I work

Before: a conversation about the project and your goals, a site visit if needed, a list of priority views, a schedule built around light and weather.
During: shooting at the best hours, wide views and details, several angles.
After: selection, retouching (perspective, colour), files for print and web, delivered in a secure online gallery.
