Marseille, Between City and Sea

The series

Marseille reveals itself through contrasts. The Calanques open the city to the horizon; markets, shop windows and passers-by bring it back to human scale. By bringing landscapes and street scenes together, this series follows the same light — clear and changing — as it connects rock, architecture and the lives moving through them.
