Since Christmas it had rained almost every day and the forecaast for the planned week of our visit to Alsace was not good. However, the weather turned out to be perfect, temperatures around 20°C and not a drop of rain. Alsace was the only part of France where it did not rain !
In 2024, LabOpéra presented West Side Story in Périgueux. In collaboration with asso OPPV I photographed rehearsals both on stage and in backstage.
A new production by LABOPÉRA Périgord-Dordogne with Chloé MEYZIE, artistic director and conductor and Gersende MICHEL, producer.
A visit to the magnificent garden Fukutsu-en near Limoges when the azaleas were in flower. Unfortunately it was VERY cold, 1°C at 10o/c and not much more at midday, but the garden was superb and we were blessed with fine bright sunshine despite the temperature.
A shooting with chorégrapher and dancer Gaëlle Lorth trying to capture the beauty of her movements and those of the costume fabrics.
A very disappointing visit with 4 friends to the ornithological reserve Le Teich - despite a good time of year and time of day classed as excellent by the reserve, we saw very few birds. The high point of the visit was seeing a Water Rail at just a few metres away, the first time I have photographed this species.
