Paradise lost – the Hotel

architecture, location

last month in Corsica we were looking for a model shoot location and we found out that just next to our vacation location there was an abandoned hotel. Flooded 7 years ago by the river running just next to it, it got deserted. Insurance companies still arguing about the responsibilities, the owners couldn’t afford to repair the damages and re-open the hotel.

It looked like an ideal location for a ‘stranded tourist story’ shoot, images will follow later.

This is how the building looked after 7 years of non-attention.

All images shot on Canon 5Ds with Canon 17-40mm f4L,  f13 ISO 125, shutter speeds vary between 66 and 184 seconds. (Big stopper filter for the movement in the trees and clouds)
