As an editorial photographer based in Provence and the French Riviera, I am constantly inspired by the beauty and elegance of the regions I call home. But creativity knows no bounds, and sometimes, it takes us to places far beyond the ordinary. That’s how this editorial styled shoot came to life—capturing the magic of daydreams in a world where anything is possible.
This shoot was born from the whimsical feeling Rakel, the creative visionary behind the concept, has felt since childhood. It’s a feeling like a tickle on the hair and the taste of cotton candy—a sense of peace and inspiration. Much like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, this editorial draws from a sense of wonder and imagination. It’s a look at what daydreaming might feel like for a creative mind, a place where the impossible becomes possible, and the clouds are never too far away.
Set in a studio but inspired by the ethereal beauty of the South of France, this shoot offers a modern yet dreamy interpretation of what a “walk on the clouds” could look like. The delicate styling evokes the playful surrealism of Alice in Wonderland, but with a soft, high-end elegance that reflects the refined tastes of the French Riviera.
For high-end clientele and creative wedding vendors seeking to elevate their weddings or styled shoots, this editorial in Provence provides a glimpse into a world where beauty and imagination collide. It’s about creating a space that encourages inspiration, sparks creativity, and brings out the best in every detail. Whether you’re planning a wedding in the heart of Provence or the luxurious French Riviera, your creative vision can become a reality.
As an editorial photographer working across these iconic locations, my passion is capturing the artistry and elegance that make each moment unforgettable. This styled shoot is a perfect example of what can be achieved when inspiration flows freely, and creativity takes center stage.
