Buttner skis

 

When Veronique Buttner contacted me for this photo assignment I wasn’t quite sure what to think of it… Veronique is passionate about skiing, mountains and stylish top-quality products; she wanted some “different” photos to advertise her skis. At first I wanted to decline as I am not interested in “product photography”, but she explained that it wasn’t for a catalogue, all she said was that she had this idea of taking photos of her skis in nice luxury properties. Well, that was perfect for me, my 2 passions meeting each other’s, beautiful interiors and skis. We choose the hotel http://www.hotel-marmotte.com and the http://www.crychar.com Les Gets, both stunning properties. When we met and we started she still couldn’t explain to me what she was expecting. She was relying on my inspiration. As soon as we started the creativity took over… Both hotels were still closed to the public and the staff was frantically trying to get everything ready for opening. At first they though we were mad, but soon they started to see the logic in our madness and were keen to witness and help. We worked very hard feeding of each other enthusiasm. The result was a success; I am pleased I took on the challenge. http://www.bybuttner.com
