Regis Mortier Photography

After a long period away from oilfields, it was a pleasure for me to come back in Angola to take part in a 6 weeks mission contracted by STAPEM Offshore, onboard SBM’s vessel Dynamic Installer. Good friends onboard, good job and some original pictures in an environment which is not easily accessible. For sure I’ll be back Offshore soon.

This is the third serie of sculptures, I’ve been asked to shoot. The following gallery present different kind of pieces of Art. In keeping the Cristal inclusion as the basic concept, An Helicopter made on request for Eurocopter, a couple of trapped Hearts, some Hot Chicks and a political piece of Art.

For the second year, I have been charged of Zannier’s Group Oxbow collection shooting. We organized this shooting in one of the most famous ski ressort in the World : Meribel and it’s amazing « 3 Vallées » domain. During 3 days the kids of the Oxbow ski & snowboard team modeled in front of my camera. Night lights ambiance and ski lifestyle to illustrate the fall & winter ’09 collection.

We were planning this shooting for a while, in fact since we came back from Morocco. We had not there the wave conditions we expected, and we had this photoshooting to complete as soon as possible. A sunny day with South-East wind in Carro, was an opportunity not to be missed. Two hours driving to join them on the spot, three hours shooting in amazing conditions, for what should be one of the last recorded session ever on this spot. Why ? Because local windsurfers had made reclamations to have the exclusivity of the access on this spot and obtain it. The sea, the waves where anybody should enjoy in respecting other users, is not free anymore. Shame on them ! Last shots soon online…

After the success of the first season of his challenge, Jean-Michel and KWM club launched last Week-end the spring challenge. An amazing sunday on the beach, with family and kids. Three legs have been completed. Congratulation for this organisation and thanks for the good day we all spend together. A couple of photos here after and soon a short video of this event. See you soon on the water.

For this first leg of the 2008 Speed World tour, riders had particularly strong conditions with wind up to 65 knots. No record broken during this week but a confirmation about the potential speed of F-One riders. Charlotte Consorti and Alex Caizergues won women and men events. Have a look on the short videoclip.

Another shooting, another experimentation of Alexandre who included Superheroes foetus in synthetic cristal. Wonder Woman’s, Hulk’s, Superman’s and Spiderman’s babies were crystallized to obtain those pieces of Art. To complete this serie, another Hot Chick and an Heart pretty endangered.

This collaboration could have never happened. I met Dan, the designer of this new brand in Barcelona during the Bread and Butter. Resting for a drink at the end of a long walking day, we started chatting about a one of those Champaign baby bottles… A few minutes later we realized that we were leaving just a few miles from each other in Southern France. Former pro basket-ball player, musician and painter, this self made artist also stylist and designer was working on the his first clothing collection. I had a look on his work, he had a look on mine, in a minute we decided to work together. Here is a preview of the result of this first collaboration. For sure, there will be more coming soon…

Cast local models who would eventually take part on future shootings, that was a mission.
A couple of days shooting good looking girls, this could be worst…

Back from Sahara, a couple of hours ago, I had just a few hours to prepare my winter gear and it was time to join a noisy crew of kids. The first leg of the ’08 Oxbow Kids-Week was also for me the occasion to discover Meribel. Meribel where should take place one of my next jobs, the Oxbow ‘09 Winter junior catalogue shooting. Three days in the beautiful french alps, in one of the best ski resort in the world. Some photos of the event, and a preview of the spots on which I’ll be soon shooting junior sportswear.
