“Abstract Water”, my latest series from the French Riviera is live! 🎉 I photographed this series last summer on Cap d’Antibes, the peninsula just south of the town of Antibes that is home to, among other things, the legendary Hôtel du Cap Eden Roc, as well as stunning nature and lots of beautiful beaches with
