Les Nocturnes d’Art de Biot 2023
I was commissioned to cover an annual summer event in Biot this year called Les Nocturnes d’Art. I’ve been going to them ever since we moved to the South, and it is an honour to document this year’s edition.
Les Nocturnes will take place every Thursday until August 17th so come along and enjoy the open air art show.
Yoga Studio Photoshoot in Biot
Capturing the Essence of Yoga: A Radiant Photoshoot in Biot's Serene Yoga Studio.
I recently had the incredible opportunity to immerse myself in the peaceful ambiance of Biot's new yoga studio and capture the beauty and grace of yoga through the lens of my camera. With the magical interplay of light and movement, I embarked on a captivating journey of capturing the work of Héloïsa, Biot’s yoga instructor.
Biot et les templiers
After nine years without the festival, 2023 took us back to the XIIIth century for the 7th edition of Biot et Les Templiers. This small hilltop village is famous for its history dating back to 154 BC, and the Templars are a huge part of it.
The weekend of March 31-April 2 marked the return of the festival, and our village welcomed over 50,000 visitors over these three days. I took the first two days of the event to just wander around and enjoy this journey through history, filled with knight battles, birds of pray displays, medieval entertainment and rustic markets.
Fast paced action photography
My husband and I play tennis in our village of Biot. I’m more of a beginner, as in I’m happy if I can send a ball over the net, and Oli is playing regularly on a decent level.
The other day I brought my camera to one of our games, and whilst he was practicing his serve I took this as an opportunity to work on my shutter speed action. Here is how it turned out.
Fête du mimosa, Biot 2023
February is officially THE yellow month. First we have mimosa, closely followed by Fête du Citron in Menton with a huge carnival and all the lemons!
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Mimosa is still pretty much the only talk of the town and Biot pulled all the stops to celebrate this glorious yellow season. Here’s a quick recap of what your friendly local French Riviera photographer (me) captured during the Fête du Mimosa in Biot.
Saint Valentine’s Day floral photoshoot in Biot
Preparations for the Valentine’s Day in Grönt’s floral studio on the French Riviera have started in early January. This included pre-planning, choosing the concept and the flower variety, and, of course, organising the commercial photoshoot to begin the social media promotions as early as the middle of January.
Together with the plant stylist we picked the locations in the studio’s town of Biot and set out to shoot the different options: close-ups, combinations, with and without the maker (to play with the storytelling in the future social media posts), different light, backdrops and moods. Here is how it turned out.
