WORK WITH MARIE PREAUD

“Photography has  always been my passion. I am a curious person. Photography opens doors  and leads to new people, places and perspectives. A gift for the open-minded adventurer.

I have always explored the world. Studied photography in Paris and New York. I share my love for photography with my husband. We started our journey in the Big Apple where we lived for many years. Photography allowed me to meet the most interesting humans, discover fascinating places and cultures around the world. Every encounter, every session, every trip enriches my  life and sharpens my  perception. I lived and worked in London, Paris, New York, Portland, Maine and Frankfurt. Big cities are full of rhythm and challenges. I had the privilege to collaborate and photograph for ten  books : From Pastries,Cafes and  Garden of Paris to landscape and culinary photography in Brittany and Provence.

All these experiences result in one thing. The joy of taking pictures, every single shot is unique - You capture emotions and aim for the magic moment.

It doesn't matter if its a business portrait, a food photo session or a reportage about a Chef you will always  get my full attention and dedication.  Trust your instincts I will follow your flow!  “

Da bleibt dem Frankophilen eigentlich nur noch eines: Die Liebste oder den Liebsten am Tag vor Heiligabend per Super-Last-minute-Reise nach Paris entführen und vor Ort die besten Tipps dieses wunderschönen Rezeptreisebuchs abgrasen...”
