I receive many emails with all kinds of ideas and pitches for blog stories. Some pique my interest and many fall into the category of "Why on earth would I put your story on my blog if it has nothing to do with Paris", after receiving emails from publicists about writing a story about voting on some flash-in-pan celebrity who I never heard of wearing too racy a bikini.
Laura Stevens, a British photographer living in Paris, emailed me a few weeks ago about something I thought was Eye Prefer Paris worthy. Laura is doing a series of portraits of couples in a hotel room called the the Hotel Amour series. She has reserved a romantic suite at the Ermitage Sacre Coeur Hotel with antique furniture and floral patterned fabric walls. It's right next to Sacre Coeur and the feeing is pure Amelie Poulain. Each couple will have an hour time slot to have a intimate portrait of them taken by Laura. The dates are July 7-8 between 12PM and 12AM. The cost is 125 euros and each couple will be given a signed A4 archival print of their choice.
The event is to raise money for Laura to mount a solo show in Latvia called Us Alone with portraits of couples in their homes in Paris, London, and Brighton.
