Château de St. Yors

I received this commission to photograph a beautiful château in the south of France thanks to a recommendation from my network:

It concerns a historical heritage project whose history dates back to the 12th century. I was commissioned to create a series of atmospheric images of the château and the surrounding estate that capture the story and atmosphere of this beautiful château. The intention was to obtain images for an art book and for the sale of the château.

To capture the unique character of this château in my images, I focused on the magnificent finish and the many historical details found in and around the château, such as the hand-painted coat of arms of the “Lords of Montesquieu”.

The isolated location in the heart of nature is also a major asset, which I wanted to reflect in my images as well.

By combining all of this in my script, I was able to portray the château in all its splendor amidst the beauty of the rolling landscape of Southwest France.
