Valensole, France
Ever since I shot one of my earliest gallery images of the lavender fields in Tasmania, Australia, I have always dreamt of photographing Provence, southern France – where the most beautiful lavender fields are. 
The combination of charm and history really made this dream come true. My expectations were blown away.

After spending five weeks searching and exploring every quaint little village and back road in Provence – this magical scene finally revealed itself. It was an intense week – day after day of 3am starts and 20 hour days before nailing the right light and mood I needed to create the dream shot – Le Rêve. The final image tells the story exactly how it felt being there – a sensory overload of beauty and that unmistakable calming scent of Lavender.

Miles ★★★★★

I’ve been chasing that classic Provençal light for years, and this piece finally captures the dreamy haze over the Valensole rows just as I imagined it. The depth in the purples and the way the horizon softens makes it feel like you’re standing right there at golden hour.

Ella Q. ★★★★★

The lavender rows stretch so perfectly toward the horizon that I keep zooming in just to admire the depth of field – it’s like being dropped right into that Valensole morning. The way the light catches the purple tones makes my office wall feel like a window to Provence.

Scarlett ★★★★★

The colors in this capture of Valensole are so true to the lavender fields I remember, it brings me right back to the golden hour light. I’ve already framed it in my hallway, and the depth in the rows of blooms makes it feel like you could walk right into the frame.
