The Hôtels Paris Rive Gauche group announces
the 2010 selection for its photo project,
A Hotel Photo, an Artist’s View

Our photo project goes from strength to strength: this year we received 350 candidacies! It’s pretty tough whittling that down to just 12 photographer, but our jury has made its decision and here are the names of next year’s participants, together with a taste of their beautiful work…

The response this year has been overwhelming, and the buzz around out photo project is rising thanks to increased media interest, word of mouth in the world of photography and our yearly exhibition in a prestigious venue… We have to admit we are rather pleased, and the concept – unchanged since the inception of the project – seems to have been a good choice: each month one photographer spends one night in one of our hotels, then presents one photo inspired by his/her stay and one piece of text to accompany it.

If you’d like to check out some of the photos from the grand opening of our 2008 exhibition at the Théâtre de l’Odéon, the album is here, and the photos by the most recent photographers to have taken part in 2009 can be seen here.

But let’s get back to the 2010 selection.  Out of the 350 dossiers received this year, 70% came from women (much more than previous years). A pre-selection was made by Marion Hislen and Alain Bisotti, artistic director of the photo project. 47 dossiers remained for the final selection.

So who was on the selection committe? Well…

– Agnès Voltz from the agency Chambre avec Vues

– Sophie Bernard, editor of IMAGES magazine

Maureen Auriol, who is William Klein’s agent in France

– Ericka Weidmann, artistic director at photographie.com

– Patrick Codomier, Agence VU

– Marion Hislen, president of the FetArt association, and

– Alain Bisotti of the Hôtels Paris Rive Gauche group.

Together, they managed to agree – afetr over three hours of deliberation – on 12 photographers. We’d like to thank all the members of the jury who gave their time, and all the photographer who sent us photos for consideration. A draw will be made mater to decide which photographer participates which month, and it which hotel.

And now, it’s time to see the photographers’ work! Here they are in alphabetical order.

It’s impossible to give you an idea of the diversity of each photographer’s work with just one photo (or even two – as here). Feel free to click on any photo to be taken directly to the photographer’s official site.
