Jessica is a model living in Burgundy France.  She works for a Chateau in the small but important little town of Beaune.  Wine is a part of life in this area and many vineyards, like the one we depicted here are world class and bring an astounding price per bottle.  This vineyard is in Cote du Nuit in a very small town named Gevrey Chambertin and makes a Grand Cru Classe, which is the best rating for Burgundy wines.  We had a small crowd gather as Jessica modeled in the vineyard.  She had a small accident on the way to the photo session and we had a late start.  It was task, changing the setting every minute as the sun resided behind the hills.  Jessica did a wonderful job and is an experienced model.  Nearly every snap was different and held, which made my job much easier.  Thanks Jessica.

Photo session Beaune (34 of 184)

Ophelie Moreau is a model and actress in Paris France, studying law and languages in school.  We met at the train station, Gare de Bercy and worked in the park that morning.  The sun was a bit bright and we had to remain aware of the locations so we could retain definition and color and not blow out the photos.  We managed to get several wonderful photographs.  Ophelie was great to work and did a wonderful job posing during the session.

France is even more amazing than I had imagined.  I was able to travel through most of the prominent wine regions and take classes at each location.  I also had the opportunity to work in Paris and Dijon.  The photos are of Bordeaux, Tours, Paris, Dijon, Beaune, Cote de Nuits, Lyon, Avignon and Marseille.

Most of these photographs were taken with my cheap pocket camera.  I was taking classes and tours, but still wanted to record the trip.  I used my professional equipment with the photo sessions with Jessica and Ophelie.
