Snaps of Plonk

When we first moved from the UK to France, nearly 20 years ago, I was working as a commercial photographer, most of my work was for advertising agencies in London - I also taught “Zone System” black and white photography for fun (and profit) - so as there are no big agencies in our French village, I thought I would open a small school in the South of France in the vast rambling pile of rubble Carole and I had bought for our new home and new life.

Dreams can come true and after five years of blood sweat and tears we had built accommodation and I had a darkroom.

One of my first students was a neighbour in our village of Nizas, Barbara Heide - she is making a name for herself now as a photographer and is seeking commissions - her speciality is orking within the wine trade - and why not.

Here is a portfolio of her work taken at “Vinisud” in Montpellier last week
