Still-Images Morocco News: June 2009

Mamounia Interiors

This month the Mamounia released the long awaited first official photographs of the new rooms and suites. Images of course taken by Alan at Still Images. The room views appear very simple. We wanted Jacques Garcia's interior design to speak for itself and we certianly did not want to end up taking cheesy brochure style photos.

Amanjena

Another of our recent jobs was to do some publicity shots for the Amanjena's Thai and Andalucian restaurants.

Kenzi Menara Palace

At the beginning of May we were back at the Kenzi Menara Palace to photograph their spacious modern spa and to work with the hotel's food and beverage manager. Above are a couple of photos that came out of the shoot.

Mamounia Auction

Between the 21st & 24th May Aguttes held a very sucessful auction of furniture, art & furnishings from the Mamounia here in Marrakech at the Palais de Congres.

As part of the auction they produced a beautiful 300 page catalogue that has instantly become a collector's item in itself.

We at Still Images are very proud to be able to say that the vast majority of the catalogue is illustrated with the over 2000 photographs we took before the world famous hotel closed for renovation.

Filming in Merzouga

By way of a of a stop gap here are a few behind the scenes images from our days filming in Merzouga. Nothing like getting up at 3.30am to make sure that you are in place for the first rays of light! The filming ballon was handled by the Soulcam - acknowledged world experts in the field - and the director is Julien Rocher from Astrolab.

Domaine Des Remparts

We've been photographing Thierry Costanza's new hotel Domaine Des Remparts since its opening last year.

During May we paid a return visit to photograph the newly finished Pavillions and the modern spacious spa.

Louloua

In between all the hotel shoots & dashing around Morocco for the film we did manage to give new young model Louloua a helping hand by doing a small book for her. Hopefully it will help her get that all important first job.
