Oualidia – June 2010
June 11, 2010 by Adrian

Went to Oualidia last weekend with some friends.  It’s about 2 and a half hours drive east of Marrakech on the Atlantic Coast south of Casablanca.  You can imagine 20 years ago before buildings started to go up it must have been one of the most idyllic places on Earth.

It is still amazingly beautiful and very peaceful away from the main village.

We stayed at the Hippocampe (wow that could be a superb hotel with a bit of investment – if only it was to come up for sale).  Had Lobster, Calamari, Turbot, John Dory, Whitebait, Spider Crab, Tiger Prawns and sooo much more).  Lobster coming out of our ears.

A wonderful place.

A few hours in Sidi Ghanem
May 31, 2010 by Adrian

My wife was working for a few hours collecting ideas for the new Riad El Fenn Shop down in the ‘Industrial Quarter’.  I had a couple of hours to wander and take a few snaps of some of the buildings and street scenes along the wide, busy avenues.  I have put together a little slideshow using slideshowpro link for wordpress (slidepress).  Still getting to grips with it and would like to add some music (any advice on how to get an itunes song to be playable as mp3 or where to get free mp3 tracks from would be greatly appreciated!

Jewellery Shoot
April 8, 2010 by Adrian

I was asked last week to take some pictures of the new Jewellery for the Lotus Club Collection.  The Lotus Club is a very upmarket Club in the Hivernage area of Marrakech and the jewellery will only be available to buy from here.

It is very beautiful jewellery in a similar vain to Swarovski with lots of small sparkling ‘diamonds’. There were about a dozen pieces to shoot altogether including an amazing jewelled bra.

It was a challenge to shoot such bright jewels on moving models in the Marrakech light, but I was happy with the results.

When the catalogue is out, I will put a PDF version on here.
