This book is the first in a trilogy about my photographic exploits in France with a group of altruistic international photographers and fine art nude models and takes place in and around a wonderful old chateau in Crazannes, near La Rochelle in western France in 2003. The photographs were shot mainly in and around the castle and it’s beautiful grounds and on a stunning beach at La Rochelle. The idea was to form a collaborative group of creatives in an atmosphere conducive to generating artistic art nude images and learn from each other’s skills. At this time all the photographers were using analogue (film) cameras and the model's compensation was a portfolio of ten prints from each photographer. The ultimate aim was to produce a book of around 90 - 100 images; about ten of the best from each of the photographers. Unfortunately, publishing a book in 2003 was much harder than it is today (2023), with on-line self publishing a thing of the future, and this goal was never realised. However, self publishing is relatively easy now, so I have finally been able to create this book of my retrospective work from this project.
